Literature Help? Posted on: September 28, 2009, at 11:01:02am If you've read the book Where The Red Fern Grows is the conflict Man vs Self or Man vs Nature? I know that the conflict starts before Billy gets the dogs and ends after they die now he wanted the dogs so bad that he even got sick than he got the dogs and they fought through trials of nature and than died through trials of nature. But he fought himself through a depression too cursing god and than again finding faith? so is the conflict about the dogs or about finding faith? or maybe finding faith is the theme...hmm.. care to help? |

i think your taking a literal view toward the text...The message in the novel isn't of finding faith or of finding oneself...its not even a conflict of any sort, unless you go so far as to say the main character billy, is in conflict with himself coming of age, then maybe its a self vs. self novel. But the true actual message of the book is one of becoming mature...to be able to understand, and comprehend that all things start as fast as they begin. Context clues throughout the novel show this to be true...if the novel where about man vs. nature, or of nature itself, then there wouldn't be such description of the deaths of the dogs, or all the tribulations in the text... Remember the how the novel begins in retrospect...atlest this is my opinion of the message of the novel..
