-provide a line of dialogue that the antagonist says to support your idea (text support)

The Yearling Setting Characters Climax Resolution Conflict Plot Summary The Yearling takes place in the Florida Backwoods during the late 1800's. The farm, or Baxter's Island, is very isolated from civilization. The lack of nearby water, abundance of predators, and surplus of crop eating animals are a few other things that make Baxter's Island a harsh place to live. At the beginning of The Yearling the author entices you to climb into the pages of her book, but as the story progresses she describes the world as a crueler and crueler home.

The Theme of the Yearling is adaption. When you put a person in a certain environment. Jody grew up in an eat or be eaten world and eventually understood that and if something stood in between his family and survival he needed to do whatever it took to survive. Still young, he had to adapt to the harsh environment that was his home. It was that or die.

Characters: The protagonist is a young boy named Jody.The antagonist is nature. Jody does not ask for much material wise. He does not wish to grow up though and fights against it and everything it comes with for a very long time. Loneliness disrupts his general contentment from time to time. in the end, however, he admits defeat, becomes a slave to life, and no longer can remember the days of his without pain and sorrow. He is very petite, scrawny, who is in his early teen years. He is straw-colored, shaggy hair that is constantly forming drakes tails in the back, wide blue eyes, freckles, and high cheek bones.

Jody Baxter Author Ory Baxter is a minor and flat character. She is a very buxom women, no longer young, discretely pretty, strict, unloving, and unforgiving. Ory is the anchor of the Baxter family. She keeps Jody and Penny in line while maintaining all domestic chores. Without her Jody and Penny would probably be dead or close to it.

Penny Baxter is a round character. He would do anything necessary to keep his family alive and well. He is very small, hard working, caring, honest, and fragile looking, but he was one of the best hunters there was and an excellent farmer. Penny solves all of the emotional friction and problems in the family. He is the resin that binds the Baxter family together.

The conflict is man vs. nature. The harsh environment Jody lives in forces him to grow up to fast, takes all his joy, and hardens him into an unfeeling person. The weather and animals prevent Jody from having a joyous and fulfilling life.

The climax was when Flag, the yearling that Jody raised and nurtured, was shot by Ory. She shot him, because he kept eating the crops that her family depended upon. She maimed and then forced Jody to kill Flag, Jody's one true friend and companion, so that her son and husband would survive.

Resolution: Jody was forced to put his only friend out of his misery with a bullet through the head. He then proceeded to run away from home and make his way to Boston in a canoe. He was out in the canoe for several days and starving to death when a mail ship plucked him from the water. The people on board feed him and dropped him off at a town near Baxter's Island. When he returned home he was welcomed with loving, open arms. Jody had grown up while he was gone and he knew he would never love anything or anybody as much as he had loved Flag.

Plot Summary: Jody and his family struggle to survive on their small, isolated farm. There is an old grouchy, menacing bear and unruly neighbors to deal with at every turn. Penny has a brush with death and while saving himself he orphans a fawn, which Jody takes under his wing and loves more than any thing else in the world and soon after Jody’s best and only friend, Fodder-wing, dies. A great storm comes in with much needed rain, but it results in a flood that kills most of the animals the Baxter’s rely on for food plus damages their crops. When the bear kills a calf for the second time Penny sets out to kill the bear; he succeeds. Then Flag, the pet fawn and companion to Jody, begins to eat the Baxter’s crops, so they are forced to shot him in order to survive.
