An extremely interesting event happend in our story Where the Red Fern Grows. Billy and his grandfather decided to take the bet that the Pritchard boys made. All in all, it seemed pretty harmless. Three boys hunting the elusive Ghost Coon. But we know from the story the Pritchard's aren't very well behaved kids. As the scene evolves, Billy and his dogs don't tree the Ghost Coon so he pays off his part of the bet. Suddenly, the dogs find the Ghost Coon, but Billy doesn't have the heart to kill it. This is where the story takes quite a turn. They Pritchards start to beat up Billy, but Billy's dogs end up fighting with the Pritchard's dog and almost kill it. Then the unthinkable happens. Rubin, who had taken Billy's ax, goes after his dogs to kill them. He trips over a stick and lands on the ax and dies.
I don't know what I would do in this situation. Shock is they only way I could describe how I would feel. I want you to tell me your thoughts as you heard these last two chapters. What was going on in your mind?
In this part of the book I was scared the first time I heard this book so it was a real shock to me when he wanted the axe removed from his stomach because then he just gushed blood. What was going through my mind in this part the first time I heard this story was “What is going to happen next.”
ReplyDeleteI was nervous and excited to see what was going to happen next. I was also imagining that I was Raini and my own brother was lying on the ground with a axe in him. I would be so scared and sad.
ReplyDeleteI was so scared. I had no idea what was going to happen next. I was just so supraised that I didn;t know what to feel. I was just sort of in shock. I also thint that it would be really gross to see it happen.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that Rubin would want Billy to take out the ax but then I thought that it kind of made since because they probable didn’t know that it’s worse to take the ax out than keep it in and Rubin probable thought he would feel better if it was out. Then the next thing that I was surprised about was that Rubin could stand up for at least a little while before he fell feel down and died.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in this problem I woould try to stay calm but I know it would not work so I would be so scard I would die
ReplyDeletewell I an sad because Rubin died and i am also happy cause billy went to Rubin's house and put flowers on his grave and surprised because Rubin's mom went outside and went to his grave cause she heard a sound and saw the flowers and picked them up sat them down nicley and she went back to house billy saw her take her bottom of her dress and wiped a tear away and that's why am surprised
ReplyDeleteI felt said, but i think that happened for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI do to.
DeleteI think it happenend for a reason too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deletewhat was going in my mind was that i pitured they boy on the axe and then when he wanted to the grave i saw that to when i rad or leasn to a book i awas see something in my mind.
ReplyDeleteThis does not make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deletei know right krazzykid
DeleteI dont no what is going to happen next.
ReplyDeleteI DDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deleteyou read it already the crazy pigeon
DeleteHow do you know?!?!
Deleteiknow who you are the crazy pigeon
DeleteI know to!
DeleteIT was very scarey at first when rubin said take the ax out of him and his parents didnt cry when he died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of wird when his parents did not cry when he died and that they have a graveyard
ReplyDeleteiam glad she made it out alive i am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy i could party she is like my dog
ReplyDeleteThis is not this chapter
DeleteI think that this story was so happy that she came out alive so it was good like her dog.
ReplyDeleteIt did felt sad when Rubin died:( I wonder why Rubin's parents didn't cried when Rubin died.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that that happened. I never even thought of that. If I was the kids brother I would be freaked out.
ReplyDeleteI felt sick to my stomach when the pricherd boy fell on the ax
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that happened!!!!!! That was the last thing I expected. What I thought would happen is billy's pups would tree the coon and the Pritchard boys would pay up. When Raini was staring down in terror I thought that the ghost coon was attacking Rubin. To be honest I actually didn't know what to think. I was scared!
ReplyDeleteI was so sad when read that chapter. I can't believe that old Blue is still alive.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that was going on in my mind is that it was creepy. I hope that doesn’t EVER happen to me or happen in front of me! I was the most entertaining chapter of all so far though.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I would never want that to happen but, it was entertainin.g
DeleteI am so surprised that Rubin died! It was a very unexpected death. I wonder why the author put it in there? I can not believe that Billy actually put flowers on Rubin's grave. He was the last person that I would have expected to do that. It was very sad that he actually died.(although it was his own fault)
ReplyDeleteI was sick to my stomach when Rubin feel and died right there in the woods. I think that its very weird that they have their own graveyard. I am very excited for the next chapter.
ReplyDeleteI was in shock when Rubin fell on the ax and.
ReplyDeleteI thought that I was going to puke when he died.I liked how the author described it
