I will be writing about the story, Where the Red Fern Grows. The story will tell about Billy Coleman and his dogs, Little Ann and Old Dan. It will tell about their hunting skills and the life of Billy Coleman. I personally like the book better than the book. Billy Coleman was a thirteen year old hunter. Billy Coleman wanted two good coon hunting dogs. He told his dad this and his dad said they did not have enough money for billy to get the dogs that he had wanted. One day Billy’s grandpa had told Billy that a person in a different city was selling coonhound puppies. After Billy had heard this he began saving up for the puppies. Billy saved his money for almost two years. One day Billy’s grandpa had called Billy to his store, he told Billy
My story is Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims. First of all, there are 6 main characters. Including, Rush Revere the history teacher, Tommy, Freedom, Liberty Rush’s horse (magical horse), William Bradford, and Myles Standish are all main characters. This story takes place in Manchester Middle school, Plymouth Rock, and on The Mayflower. Those are the main things about my book.

This book report is about the book The Songcatcher ,written by Sharyn McCrumb. Sharyn McCrumb is a Local writer whose novels celebrates the history and folklore of the Appalachian mountains . The Songcatcher tells the story of a family over the course of hundreds of years. I find the author's writing style different from anything I have read before. She flips from past to present throughout the book.The author really keeps the reader own edge and guessing what will happen next throughout the pages.I find that I can connect to the book on a cultural standpoint from living in the Appalachian Mountains .It is very interesting to me that she based this on her own family history.The book starts out telling two completely different stories,
In the first third of the book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, by Michael Pollan, he draws the reader in by bringing to light many interesting facts about corn that most individuals may not realize. He states that the majority of food that people consume contains corn. Although people of Mexican descent are usually referred to as the “corn people”, Americans have now surpassed them in the amount of corn consumed in their daily diet. Corn is consumed in a variety of forms and many of the animals that are eaten by Americans, such as the chicken, pig, turkey, and lamb are fed corn. When a person eats these animals, he or she is essentially increasing their corn intake, and in most cases without even realizing it. The corn crop has spread vastly and is massively produced because it is efficient. Unlike other crop plants, corn can survive in harsh weather conditions and it is light and easy to transport. Maize is also self-fertilized and pollinated by wind, and it has evolved over time and continues to evolve, into new forms and new uses.
In the book published in 2006, the Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural history of Four Meals, by Michael Pollan, is a non-fiction book about American eating habits and the food dilemma that many Americans are facing today. Pollan begins the book by discussing the dilemma of the omnivore like ourselves, a creature with many choices of food. Pollan decides to learn the root to the food dilemma by examining the three primary food chains: industrial food chain, the organic food chain, and the hunter-gathering food chain. His journey begins by first exploring the industrialized food industry. Pollan examines the industry by following both corn and cow from the beginning through the industrialized process. The work on the corn fields of George Naylor shows him that the industrial system has made corn appears nearly in all products in the supermarket (Pollan 33-37). Pollen then decides to purchase a steer which allows him to see the industrialized monoculture of beef production and how mass production produces food to serve the society. Following his journey, Pollan and his family eat a meal at McDonald's restaurant. Pollan realizes that he and very few people actually understand how such a meal is created. By examining the different food paths available to modern man and by analyzing those paths, Pollan argues that there is a basic relation between nature and the human. The food choice and what we eat represents a connection with our natural world. The industrial food ruins that ecological connections. In fact, the modern agribusiness has lost touch with the natural cycles of farming. Pollan presents the book with a question in the beginning: "What should we have for dinner?" (Pollan 1) This question posed a combination of p...
In my opinion, Where the Red Fern Grows was an amazing book. It’s honestly amazing because I don’t really read books because most of them are boring. This book is very touching and I will admit that I have cried a few times while reading the book. If you are looking forward to a touching story then this is the right book for you. If you’re not into that kind of stuff then you wouldn’t really like the book. I’m a really touchy person so I liked the book. It all depends on what you’re looking for and what genre you like.
Give a brief summary of what your story might be like. These should be meaningful and relevant to the author’s purpose.
When Billy was a boy he always wanted a pair of hound dogs. However, as much as he wanted a pair of hounds he did not receive them. Every now and then he would hear the neighboring dogs calling treed to their masters, and their masters whooping back to them to tell the hound that they were on the way. This encouraged Billy to want a hound even more. His dad told him one day that his grandpa wanted to see him soon. Once he got to his grandfather, his grandfather told him that he had seen an ad in the newspaper for some hound dog pups. So he went and got an old tin can and started putting money in it that he made from working in the fields.

A good percentage of the food in the supermarket is linked to a specific kind of plant. This vegetable, which has many uses, is corn. Since the beginning of the United States, corn has taken an important role in the development in the nation, meaning that without corn this nation would not be the same. When the Europeans came here, there were no real resources that they could exploit for the benefit of their survival. But then one can ask the question, how did the Native Americans survive before they were killed by the infectious viruses and diseases from the Europeans? Well, as simple as it can be, corn was one of the prime elements for their survival, it was one of their main agricultural products. The Europeans that came to the United States adopted corn as the ‘nations’ vegetable for future generations.
I met the man to pick my choice of dog. I was brought into a room and in this room was a basket overflowing with sleeping puppies. They were two months old black and white but also a few brindle. Some had escaped and wandered off walking. Each one was five hundred dollars, not a price that bothered me since I saved enough for this. This small half black and white face male puppy really caught my attention. “That one!” Nothing was changing my mind on that. That puppy was going to be Bentley. All of my life, I had waited for this. He makes his arrival to his new
