So for those of you who haven't read Where The Red Fern Grows, you need to go read it. Like right now!

It is an amazing book. It really does show you how a mans BEST friend is a dog. How animals can change a persons life. We had just finished it in school today and i was reading some things on it and found this on http://www.gradesaver.com ! It says:



"Red, of course, is the color of blood and the heart, and serves as a symbol of the dogs' deep love, their strong will power, and their sacrificial intimacy with each other and Billy. Rawls withholds, however, the meaning of the novel's red title."



Before it gives some examples but i didnt want to give away the ending! I couldn't believe that i didn't figure that out. But, really this is an amazing book so you need to go read it!



I have read a lot of stories, books, small one shots, all of that stuff. There have been only about 4 things that have made me think. When i say think i mean, its something i can relate to and it makes me think about something that's happened or is happening in my life. Ive had pets that have died and it's crushing. I have a dog who means the world to me and this book made me want to hug her and not stop. 



This book has ways of saying things without you realizing it. This book is kind of about religion. It's basted off of how the main character, Billy, leans towards praying and god to help fix his problems. He prays for the help of getting his dogs, and he prays that his dogs don't get hurt. In the end it shows that sometimes things just have to happen and there is no stopping it. That all people suffer or go though something difficult and that it changes who you are. It makes you a better person and how you should enjoy the times your having because they may not last long. 

There's this Dr. Seuss that i live by. It's a pretty famous one so you should know it but it relates a lot to the book:

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."



Im not joking, i literally live by that quote!



YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! It is amazing!
