Authors Note:  This literacy analysis should help you better understand the great valuable yet useful lessons to be learned.

In and out of the fields Billy, the main character, kept working to follow his dream. He was trying to find money to buy two hounds.  Wilson Rawls is a fantastic author who writes many classics.  Where the Red Fern Grows has many great lessons that will help you if you want to succeed in life.

Throughout Billy’s life he has always wanted dogs, to be specific two hunting hounds.  In the last year in a half he was dying of a disease called the dog disease.  Every day it got worse.  Finally, he had it and started working.  This boy needed fifty dollars and it took him over two years to make it.  He was in the fields getting berries and selling worms to fishers.

Billy demonstrated to never give up on your dream.   Every day for two years this boy has been trying to make money by selling worms and berries.  After the second year of working he met his goal. He finally received his two hunting hounds.  J.J Watt would never be where he is now if he gave up on his dream.  Dan Jansen would never be where he is today if he just gave up after not winning his first shot at taking the gold in the Olympics.

Although, you always can’t get what you want, if you pray to God and ask him for help getting something he will help you as much as possible.  Billy in this book prays for God to help him get the two hunting hounds.   God could hear Billy praying and wanted to help him collect money.  Multiple people pray to God to because the want things and for freedom, but most of them never receive the gift.  What Billy received from God is perhaps a miracle.

As you can see, in the book Where the Red Fern Grows it contains useful lessons that will help you achieve goals and succeed in life.   Billy learned that in the long run things turn out just the way he wanted it.  What lessons would you included if you wrote a book?  If I were to be an author I would included lessons about friendship and never giving up.

Hoops at Night!

Author's Note: In my essay you will learn about helpful lessons in life.  Hopefully you will learn somethings that will help you in the long run.

It was a cold and rainy day, when Nick heard some weird noises outside.  He walked outside and saw his dad working on making a basketball court.  That is how the story all started. This book is great because it teaches you super useful lessons in life.  Carl Dueker, the author of Night Hoops, is a famous author that makes multiple sport books.

In “Night Hoops” the main character, Nick Abbot finds out that school comes before sports and other fun activities.   After Nick and his dad build the basketball court this boy has only been playing basketball.  When his mom started seeing downs in his grades, she made him go to the books.  This boy is in high school and the faster he learns that school is more important than sports the better he will be in life. 

Although it might be hard to work in all areas, to get far in life you need to work on them.  This includes maybe working in sports, school, and relationships with friends. If you don’t try hard in relationships they aren’t going to last.  This lesson you will learn in this book, when Nick starts doing this he sees improvement in grades and his game.

Before Nick was on first-string on varsity he was on third.  This boy demonstrated, never give up on your goals.  He practiced and practiced to achieve these dreams.  You will never succeed is you don’t work for it.  Nick worked his butt off day and night shooting hoops.  If you don’t work for your goals you will never achieve them.  LeBron James wouldn’t be where he is now if he didn’t work hard and on his dreams.

Carl Dueker is the author of many sports book with great lessons that will be helpful for many people in life.  One of the fabulous lessons you can learn is “Night Hoops “is never give up your dreams.  Although school is not as fun as sports, school is the thing that gets you far in life.
