Heroic BSoD: Little Ann has one after Old Dan's death. She is extremely lethargic and has to be force-fed to eat. Later, she drags herself to the foot of Old Dan's grave and dies right there. Billy falls victim to this when Old Dan and Little Ann both die. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Billy's dogs die, one saving him and one from a broken heart and he is understandably heartbroken. When his family is moving away to the city and give the kids education, Billy goes to say goodbye to his dogs. He sees a symbolic red fern growing on their graves which puts him at peace. As an adult, he admits he wishes to adopt a country dog that comes to his doorstep for food, but Billy lets him go. | |

| Where the Red Fern Grows / int_66d32701 | comment |
Children Are Tender-Hearted: Billy and his younger sisters are concerned about Old Dan when he is grievously injured by a mountain lion, and they are distraught when he eventually dies of his injuries. Later, Billy is worried about Little Ann when she's too depressed over Old Dan's death to even eat. He becomes even more devastated when she dies of sadness. | |

Stating the Simple Solution | |
| Where the Red Fern Grows / int_86f4f393 | comment |
Stating the Simple Solution: At the beginning, Billy's father and grandfather tell him if he wants a puppy, the neighbors have ones for free and it would be no trouble to adopt them. Billy says he doesn't want just any old dog, he wants a coonhound to catch raccoons for their pelts. Each costs twenty-five dollars for the genetics, so Billy saves up over two years. | |

| Where the Red Fern Grows / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Rubin challenges Billy to a coonhound bet and threatens to beat him up when he loses but refuses to pony up, as well as siccing his dog Old Blue on Dan and Anne. When Dan and Anne start thrashing Old Blue, Rubin runs with his ax muttering he's going to kill the dogs. Billy runs and gets there first, but then realizes why; Rubin fell on the ax blade-first, and is dying. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death: Rubin Pritchard. It was so horrifying that the more graphic parts were edited out in some reprints. Old Dan's death is the former. Getting disemboweled by a mountain lion. Billy even mentions that on the way home from just barely surviving it, Old Dan's entrails were dragging on the ground behind him. Ewwwwwww. | |

Similarly, the frequently used word "coon" is simply slang for "raccoon" (as in the small furry animals), not to be confused with the extremely offensive racist slur (meaning Blackface-Style Caricature). | |

More Deadly Than the Male | |
| Where the Red Fern Grows / int_a3458bf2 | comment |
More Deadly Than the Male: Billy personally believes this, saying that it's much rarer for a female dog to fight but when they do they fight to kill. When Old Blue and Old Dan's fight gets brutal, Little Ann comes to his defense and kills him, with Billy even having to pry her teeth from Blue's throat. | |

Clutching Hand Trap | |
| Where the Red Fern Grows / int_badf79ac | comment |
Clutching Hand Trap: The book has something similar as a way to trap raccoons. You cut a small hole in a hollow log, drive some nails around it pointing down and inward, and place something shiny at the bottom like cut-up pieces of tin can. A raccoon passing by will be attracted, reach in to grab it, and catch its fist on the nails trying to pull it out. The narrator thinks his grandfather is teasing him when he first tells him this method, because all the raccoon would have to do is let go of the tin. But the grandfather assures him that a raccoon will never willingly let go of anything shiny. (After the narrator has caught one raccoon like this and can use its skin to train his hunting dogs, his father makes him pull the nails out of all his traps, because if raccoons are that serious about their tin then they don't have a sporting chance.) | |

| Where the Red Fern Grows / int_c24fa49e | comment |
Dogs Are Dumb: Old Dan is a mild example. Lampshaded by Billy when he says, "It wasn't too hard for a smart old coon to fool Old Dan." Inverted with Little Ann. "...but there were none that prowled the river banks that could fool my Little Ann." She's ultimately the one that wins the two coon hunts, outsmarting raccoons that have evaded every other hound sent out to find them. | |

Half-Witted Hillbilly | |
| Where the Red Fern Grows / int_dbd68b08 | comment |
Half-Witted Hillbilly: Invoked and subverted. The story takes place in the Oklahoma portion of the Ozarks, where the main character Billy Coleman and his family are poor, uneducated, and live in the hills. At one point, when Billy visits the next big town by himself for the first time, the city kids judge him harshly over of his dirty, impoverished appearance. When he admits that he's from "the hills" and his name just happens to be named Billy, the kids all make fun of him, chanting "Hillbilly! Hillbilly!" Of course, despite being uneducated, Billy is by no means stupid. | |

Have a Gay Old Time: Billy repeatedly calls Little Ann a bitch in the literal sense. While it was a curse word at the time, the more literal meaning was more common, compared to modern day where the literal meaning is rarely used. Similarly, the frequently used word "coon" is simply slang for "raccoon" (as in the small furry animals), not to be confused with the extremely offensive racist slur (meaning Blackface-Style Caricature). | |
