Bless The Beast And Children Essay, Research Paper
Bless the Beast and the Children, what was the point of this book? To show boys
can go from immature: betwetter’s, to cowboys. There were three main events that
took place in Bless the Beast and children. The first one was at the beginning,
when they decided to leave Box Canyon Boys Camp. Another was when they decided
to steal a car. The last one is when they freed the Buffalo. Cotton, Teft,
Shecker, Goodenow, Lally 1, and Lally 2, wanted to leave the camp because they
felt they did not belong there due to all the torment they were receiving from
the other campers. One day they decided to hike on horses and find a ride when
they were in the city by either stealing a car or hitch-hiking. The first
attempt did not work. Afterwards they att4empted to steal their counselors car,
but they feared it would make too much noise. The second main event is when they
stole a car. At first, they attempted to steal a car. They started off on horses
but they felt it was too obvious and draw too much attention, so they left the
horses in the woods and attempted to steal a car. They first tried to confiscate
a car at a motel, but a man dr
second attempt to steal a car was at a used car dealership, but that attempt
failed because a police car was patrolling the parking lot. Afterwards they
sighted a truck at a local bar and stole that one. The last event was when they
freed the Baffalo. They were watching an event that killed animals for no
reason. Cotton and the rest of the boys felt they that the killing was very
humane, and they did not deserve to be killed. One night after all the hunters
were asleep they decied to unlock the stables and free them. The first attempt
did not work, yet the second one did. Now there was another problem after they
freed the buffalo. The buffalo did not move just stayed in one place. They then
decided to lure them into the wilderness with hay, which led them to once again
steal a car. After being shot at they finally freed the buffalo, freeing them
from the hunters. In conclusion, Cotton, Taft, Shecker, Goodenow, Lally 1, and
Lally 2, were only trying to prove they were men and that they were not afraid
to be a little dangerous. Them leaving the camp, stealing the car and setting
the buffalo free was a trip to boost their ego.
