    Where the red fern grows

    One day before leaving work, Billy Coleman spots a Redbone Hound being attacked by a mob of dogs. He gets them away and taking the dog to his home nurtures him/her before letting him/her free. This makes Billy remember his childhood memories of his Redbone Hounds. Billy Coleman, along with his 3 sisters and parents, live on a farm in the heavily forested Ozark Mountains in the Great Depression. Billy’s dream is to own not one, but two Redbone Coonhounds, and train them to be the best hunting dogs in all of the midwest. His father tells him that he can’t have Coonhounds because they are very unstable financially and if he really wants them that bad, he needs to work for them himself. He then goes to his grandfather’s shop and is told that if he can save enough money, he will do the rest to get him his hounds. After two long years of dedication and hardwork, Billy finally has enough money to purchase his hounds and goes to his grandpa’s store. His grandfather gives him good news that the price has gone down and sends a happy Billy off with 10 extra dollars and some candy which he shares with his sisters. Billy travels to get his dogs, soon named Old Dan and Little Ann inspired by a tree and trains them to tree and catch raccoons with the help of his grandfather, his motivational figure because of his encouragement for Billy.

Their family decides to move to the city because of all the money that they won in the competition and Billy goes to see his hounds…

    Barn Owl

    Gwen Harwood’s, ‘Father and child’, is a two-part poem that tempers a child’s naivety to her matured, grown up attitude. Barn Owl presents a threshold in which the responder is able to witness the initiation of Gwen’s transition. The transformation is achieved through her didactical quest for wisdom, lead by her childhood naivety and is complimented through ‘nightfall’, where we see her fully maturate state. The importance of familial relationship and parental guidance is explored in father and child, as well as the contrasting views on mortality and death. Barn Owl depicts death as a shocking and violent occurrence while the second poem, nightfall, displays that death can be accepted, describing the cyclical and ephemeral nature of life.…

    Annotations: Childrens Literature

    This book is about a boy named Max who goes on an adventure to where the wild things live. Max gets sent to his room for being wild in the house and causing trouble. Then Max’s room slowly turns into a forest and Max goes on his adventure. Max gets there and scares all the wild things with a magic trick. They name Max the wildest thing of all and he becomes king of the wild things. Eventually Max gets lonely and comes home. This book has a few valuable messages. Imagination is really encouraged in this story because it’s such a creative story. Also, the book expresses the importance of family. Even when Max is having fun being king of the wild things he still gets lonely for home. This was my second favorite book when I was young because I was really intrigued by the monsters and how Max became king of the wild things.…

    Thought and Owl

    The connection between humans and animals is truly a special one as demonstrated in Tim Bowling's "Snowy Owl After Midnight." The speaker in the short story feels closely connected to the owl as he walks in the forest at night. The speaker believes that the owl "waits for [him]" and that the owl's "blood stirs/ at [his] presence." Also, the owl seems to understand the "heightened smell of joy and fear/ [the speaker's] bones give off. Since the night is "so quiet," the speaker feels that he and the owl are the only two "awake," Strengthening their bond even more. Both the owl and the hunter are on a search for food hence they feel a sense of connection with each other during the long dark night. As they travel together, the speaker remembers the "months" they've spent circling in "each other's silence." The speaker has a sudden urge to break the silence and talk to the owl as a friend. He longs to express to the beautiful winged creature about his "boyish dream" that consisted of the "beating heart of a snowman." Furthermore, the speaker wishes to hear the thoughts of the owl about the "blood" that is on the earth and what the owl would think if he knew the deaths that could be caused by the "clipped, pale hands" of the hunter. In some ways, the hunter desires to be like the owl. As quoted anonymously, "A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?"As the "dark and silent" night goes on, the hunter and the owl loyally remain by each others…

    The Owl Has Flown Response

    In Sven Birkerts writing, “The Owl Has Flown,” Birkerts puts forth something to think about for any modern day reader. Birkerts believes that over the years the methodology of reading has changed as the technology has advanced. In the older days, people had small amounts of texts to choose from, but read them more thoroughly, and gained in depth knowledge about each book. In this day and age, the scope of reading has broadened but at the same time become shallower. He believes that we now read large amounts of materials, divulging ourselves into all sorts of different subject matter, but that we merely skim across its surface gaining no knowledge. In his opinion we have gone from vertical to horizontal depth. He deems an increase in the availability of reading materials the source of this change. Through the aforementioned essay, Birkerts successfully paints his argument and shows the power that can be gained from reading deeply and critically. He effectively depicts the changes made within our brains and habits as life around us changes in the literary world, and uses a steadfast argument to prove the negative effects of the loss of deep reading. (Birkerts)…
