Today I am going to blog about the story we read in class today. The story is called A Dark Brown Dog. It is about the journey of a dog that has been taken in by an abusive family. The dog was beaten by both the father and the son. Even though they are the ones who wanted to keep the dogs in the first place. The son sometimes beats the dog, but he doesn't beat him as much as his father does. Sometimes the son would grab a stick and just beat the dog until he was ready to stop. Although the son beats the dog too he would still try and protect him sometimes. One time when his father was angry and drunk which isn't a good combination, he was trying to throw things and beat the dog more. But the son got in front of the dog and tried to protect him. While the son tried to protect the dog he ended up getting a cooking pan thrown at his head. The father was a drunk who would just come home and abuse the dog everyday, but one day he went too far. Like the father ususally does he came home really drunk and angry for no reason. The dog didn't even do anything to the father. But the father decides to punish him anyway. While the dog is just minding his own business the father just picks him up by one leg and just throw him out the window like hes a bag of trash. The dog flew out of the window onto the sidewalk and he died. I think this story was very depressing and cruel. I reallt hate how people abuse animals. I mean why take out all of your anger on a small innocent creature who didn't do anything to deserve to be treated like this?
You make an important point about small, innocent creatures. Do you think the dog was the only one in the story?
ReplyDeleteWell I thought he was. I didn't think there were any other animals in the story.
