Where The Red Fern Grows Analysis
My favorite movie would be “Where The Red Fern Grows.” The reason I choose Where The Red Fern Grows was because this movie is real heartwarming between a boy and his two hunting dogs which he gets later on the movie. The settings takes place at a ranch outside of a small town. This boy who really wants to have a mutt,so he can train it and make it into the best coon hunting dog in the town, but can’t offered to get even a single mutt for lack of money. Later on the boy saves a lot of money to buy not just one but two two Redbone Coonhound hunting dogs, and he also buy his parents and his sister gifts with the leftover money he had in his pockets.

    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. His dogs become very good and enter in a competition in which they win but his grandpa also gets injured. The climax then occurs when Billy is out hunting with his championship hounds. They are assaulted by a mountain lion and Old Dan gives his life ( and entrails) to save Billy, who kills the mountain lion to “avenge” him. His mother tries everything she can to save him but it is no use and they bury Old Dan. Little Ann then loses the will to live and they bury her right next to him. 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…

    Gladiator. I liked these movies the most because all interested me. The one like I liked the most out of all of these was Unbroken, because it was over a true story. Then my next favorite movie would have had to be The Patriot because it showed us about the war in that time period. It I had to choose three of the movies that I have learned from this semester I would say that my three movies is Unbroken, Apollo 13, and Selma. Unbroken talked about what had happened to him when his plane crashed and he was took by the Japanese and sent to a POW camp tell he was rescued he was also an olympian. Apollo 13 was about a trip to the moon but something bad happened. Selma was…

Leo is upset and thinks he will never get Paige to love him again. Paige and her parents weren’t talking and her parents come to the hospital and want to take her home with them, but Leo insist she goes back with him to regain some of her memory from her old life.

    The film “Sassy Pants” was also enjoyable because of its charm. There may have been some awkward scenes, but that was drowned out by charming or adorable, scenes. There aren’t really specific scenes that it occurs that are major, but it is sort of spread out throughout the whole movie. Even the tragic or sad scenes were well layed out and I just enjoyed the effect they had…

    I think this movie reminds me of how there is a lot of judgment in our society and that people aren’t even the given a chance prove themselves. In the movie, an ogre named Shrek goes on an adventure to free his swamp of all the creatures banished there. Along the way he is made fun of, feared, and hunted just because of what he is. During the movie, you learn of his true nature and that he is completely different from what others expect him to be. This movie reminds me of the golden rule we are taught in school to be better people. Treat…
