Recall a time in your own life when you made a promise that was difficult to keep. Tell how this relates to the promise Billy made to his dogs. Do you admire Billy for his efforts to keep the promise?

One secret that was hard to keep was when my brother and I were jumping on our beds, then suddenly he fell and broke a window. We were also playing with our new dog Fletcher. When my mom asked what happened my brother told my mom Fletcher had broken the window. He whispered in my ear that to keep this secret, I have been keeping this secret for four years. This reminded me about WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. I wanted to tell my mom but this was to large to be told. I do admire Billy because it was a loving secret to his dogs myn was not.

Once I was on a camping trip, and it was night. "Time for scary stories!" My brother said. "Camille have you ever heard of the Scarrtox?" "Well it lives in these very lakes. It is as small as a mouse though, but warning this creature shape shifts. It can be me! So stay alarmed. It has anger issues which is weird for an animal. It really is a HUGE, LONG, fuzzy, FAT, JUICY, BIG NOSED MONSTER. It's purpose here is to EAT PEOPLE!" My dad snook behind the tent and took two sticks, a coat and wrapped the coat to look at big as he could, then took the two sticks stuck them in the back of his coat to look like he had two intenas. "You here that noise?" My brother said. I listened and I heard a 'NAHEE KAHEBLAPHEKCIL!' "That is his hunting call!" And again I heard a 'NAHEE KAHEBLAPHEKCIL!' "I heard my dad laugh behind the tent. "Dad I know your there you cant trick me." "HA HA HA! OK fine the Scarrtox isn't real you win."

Billy Colman I'm From......
I'm from the Ozark mountains, from the river bottoms, I am from hunting, and hound dogs, chasing coons for hide, I am from my grandpa setting traps for coons.

I'm from soda pop and horehound, from peppermint sticks and warm cornbread, I'm from 'Believe!' and 'Go get 'em!', I'm from the ghost coon, and terrible memories.

I'm from dusty roads, and my dogs are most important to me, as they stand next to me side by side, I'm from the Ozark mountains and I hunt. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FAVORITE PLACE My favorite place is a foggy place with just a peak of sun shine through the clouds whenever I'm there. and I love when I hear the rain drops clicking as they fall to the black cement, as black as the fall night sky like chalk written all over. I miss when I'm at a stoplight and when I get fresh smell of the rain, and wood carvings of faces, after you look in their eyes for one second you can't stop looking. I would walk on the sidewalk with my big boots and as the puddles splash with glee. And pine wood smell whenever I'm there. I miss that place but I'll always love the Canal.
