Old Yeller
By:Quinn Ryan, Ethan Lee, Landon Riley
Quinn
So far in Old Yeller a new dog has showed up at Travis's house and he was described as a meat stealing ugly dog.That nobody really cares for except for Travis's little brother Arliss who wanted nothing but to keep the the old yellow ugly dog.
Quinn
Travis was supposed to shoot old Yeller but didn't because he felt terrible for the stray dog and he would not want to hurt little Arliss's feelings.
Quinn
Old Yeller is really starting to be Travis's friend instead of more Arliss's pet.
Quinn
Old Yeller has stopped Arliss from getting eaten by a mama bear because Arliss was kind of holding the cub hostage and wouldn't let go of the baby bear,So that makes old Yeller an amazing guard dog.
Ethan
Travis had seen the dog that had stolen their meat he had tried to kick the dog but something that was surprising was that little Arliss had came out swinging a battling stick at Travis it was surprising because it was different from his usual personality so Arliss's actions made me think that he cared about this dog and did not want Travis to hurt him.
Ethan
Travis's mama had told him that they will keep the dog and she told Travis to go on a walk and to do some thinking about little Arliss and the dog and he did what she told him to do which shows that he is very obedient to his parents.
Ethan
I could tell that Travis was scared about the plague that was going around because he was up all night thinking about the horrible things that could happen to him and his family if one of them were bit by an animal or creature that was infected with the plague.
Ethan
i thought the wild boars were infected with the plague because Travis said that the boars actions were different then what they normally do and Burn Sanderson had said to look out for any animals acting unusual so i think the boars could be infected.
Landon
something that i have realized is that the whole book is a huge flash back because at the beginning of the book travis talks about how he was going to a story about how he found the big yeller dog.
Landon
it was easy to tell that Travis didn't want the dog at first because when he had seen the dog with beside the meat that he had eaten Travis chased the dog and started to kick him.
Landon
i can tell that Travis does care for little Arliss because when he had heard him scream he ran to him even though he had always screamed for no reason and still tried to save him.
Landon
i could tell the story that Burn Sanderson told Travis had really startled him because he had stayed up all night thinking about the story.
Landon
I could tell that Travis started to care for old yeller because when they both got attacked he had went back and covered him up with the rocks to make sure he would still be protected.
