A Sad book?

Question

Who else thinks that it is sad at the end of "Where the red fern grows" by Wilson Rawls?

Answer 1

try the true life accounts about the tragedies involved in the great blizzard of 1877 on the eastern seaboard!!!!!dozens of ships and crews and passenger losses!!an open boat washing ashore with a young red-haired woman and her little children frozen into the water in the ribs of the rowboat without oars,her vacant eyes staring into nothingness sloshing in the ice and froth of frozen seawater foaming and in icy chunks all along the shore for miles and miles from maine to the carolinas!!most posted notices said ship lost presumed lost with all hands and cargo!!the streets of new york had snow and ice to the second story windows with no entrance or egress possible for days at a time except at great personnal peril and freezing upon exposure to the howling gusts!!harper's weekly magazines of the period are highly instructive on this!!!and tell in detail how the "buffalo wings" were invented as part of the series on this great storm!!circa 1877-78in bound editions buy them if you can find them...they are a wellspring of information on all human endeavor!!!

Answer 2

I cried my eyes out when I finished Where the Red Fern Grows. I also cried at the end of Old Yeller, another dog book. They're both really good books, but so sad at the end.

Answer 3

That's why I like his other book better, The Summer of the Monkeys. It's great with a happy ending.

Answer 4

I saw the movie and it was sad, too!
