Where The Red Fern Grows
Chapter One 1. The narrator is an old man who is about 50 to 60 years old. He took care of the dog, which shows he is compassionate. He lives in Snake River Valley, Idaho.
2. The old dog makes the man remember the two dogs he had when he was a boy. The dogs probably won the two cups for him. It brings back memories.
Chapter Two 1. The narrator doesn’t want just any puppy, he wants two coon hounds. His parents can’t afford a coon hound because it is too much money.
2. The narrator lived in a beautiful valley in the Ozark Mountains. His mother was Cherokee, so she was able to get good farmland on Cherokee land. It was on a strip from the foothills of the mountain to the banks of the Illinois River, in northeastern Oklahoma. They lived in a log house.
Chapter Three 1. Billy finds the magazine where the fisherman had camped; one of the fishermen had left it behind. It changes his life by making him work hard to get the money that was needed to buy the coon dogs that were for sale in the magazine. The dogs were $25 each, and $50 dollars in all (for two).
2. Billy plans to save money for the pups by selling crawfish, minnows, and fresh vegetables to the fisherman. He plans to sell berries during berry season from his grandfather’s store. He would trap in the winter. It takes him two years to save up all the money.
Chapter 4 1. Billy didn’t tell his father because he thought his father might get mad. I think if Billy did tell him, his father would use Billy’s money to buy a new mule.
2. The people in town treated Billy like an outsider; they stared and laughed at him because he was different. They gawked at him and called him a hillbilly. Billy didn’t go to school and didn’t wear shoes. Plus, he lived on a farm, which is why they made fun of him.
Chapter 5 1.
