        <description><![CDATA[The relationship between Jody and his father is complicated. Jody is a typical young boy of ten when the novel starts, and as such he is sometimes forgetful about his responsibilities.
Carl Tiflin, on the other hand, is all about being responsible. When Jody is given a rifle, his father mandates he won't actually be able to shoot it until he is 12. Carl Tiflin sometimes comes across as insensitive, but in actuallity he is a hard worker and a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The protagonist in The Red Pony is young Jody Tiflin who lives on a ranch with his mother and father. Jody is no longer the child he had once been, but he is not yet the man he will become. The novel is an example of an initiation story because from the beginning to the end of the narrative, Jody grows up in some very significant ways. Through the death of one pony and the birth of a new colt, Jody learns important truths about life, death,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jody is often fearful of and intimidated by his father. He has a quiet, mild personality and is usually very curious about his surroundings. He is very easy to teach and eager to learn, and he spends a lot of time with the ranchhand, Billy Buck,  on his family's ranch in order to learn the things that he knows.
Jody does appear to have a mean streak in that he oftentimes takes out his aggression on animals nearby; this is not entirely...]]></description>
