Happy
I felt happy in the book when Rob received his pig, when Rob and Pinky went on adventures, and when he and Pinky won first place at Rutlenburg fair. I was happy when Rob received Pinky from Mr. Tanner because he deserved it when he help Apron give birth because his body took a beating and it gave Mr. Tanner two calves. I was also happy in the book when Rob and Pinky had fun times in the woods because Pinky was Rob's only friend in the area for him to play with. Lastly I was happy when Rob and Pinky won first place at Rutlenburg fair because Rob and Pinky deserved it because they spent a lot of time together. Although this book had a sad ending Rob had a lot of happy times. |
Sad
I was sad when Ira's dog had to be killed, when Pinky was killed, and when Haven died. I was sad when they had to kill Ira's dog because the dog did not choose to get torn up in the barrel by the weasel and the dog was young and they had to kill it. I was really sad when Pinky was killed to because Rob loved Pinky as a pet and never thought he would have to kill her. It was also sad because Rob and Pinky had a lot of adventures together. The reason why I thought it was really sad was because neither Haven or Rob wanted to kill Pinky. The ending of the story contained a lot of sorrow in it when Rob finds Haven dead and he continues doing his chores before telling his mom and Aunt Carrie. It is sad because if Rob does not finish his chores than the rest of his family could die because they would not have any food. This book pulled on my heart strings several times in the book. |
