Fodder-Wing is the first person that Jody has known to die, and although he is aware of the young Forester boy's poor health, it still comes as a surprise. Jody is especially distraught because he wanted Fodder-Wing to see his new, unnamed fawn, and he planned to ask his friend's opinion on a...

After Penny is bitten, Jody runs to the Foresters for assistance. Although the two families are neighbors, they are now in the midst of a feud: Penny has traded his dog to Lem for a gun, and Lem--the meanest of the bunch--feels...

"The Yearling" has many strengths. One of them is how many of the characters relate to one another. This is a book full of affection and strong relationships. Another is the relationship between people and animals; their connections are strong. The descriptions of how intensely the characters need to work to survive on the land are good, and the descriptions of the land itself are solid. Finally, the language itself is vivid—both...

Grandma Hutto doesn't want Oliver going after the Forresters and probably getting himself killed. The Forresters don't always fight fairly, and Grandma knows Oliver wouldn't stop until he had tried to kill every one of them. There are more Forresters, and one of them would most likely kill Oliver before he could kill them. She wants to move to Boston the next day because she knows if she stays, Oliver will find out that the Forresters did...
