Conflict Resolution

This is my Conflict Resolution piece about the book Where the Red Fern Grows which is about a boy and his two dogs and his experiences with them and why they were so special.

A little boy has finally saved up money to buy hunting dogs. After training them to hunt very well, he wants to take them to a raccoon hunting competition. He will fight against the powers of nature such as weather, animals, unfortunate mishaps. Its all person vs. nature in this one.

   Once he has entered the competition with his two dogs he has to put up with cold weather right away. He captures a decent amount of raccoons during the day, but at nightfall it starts snowing. The boy starts to get super cold. Eventually a snowstorm arrives and he loses his dogs. Next morning he wakes up and goes searching for them. They are circling around a tree with the last raccoon they need to win. After awhile, they kill it and head back to camp. Waiting there for them is a gold trophy and a box full of money. Him and his dogs had successfully won the competition. They lived happily until one night one dog dies from a mountain lion. The other dog dies of depression in a way. The end.
