Where the Red Fern Grows explores an aspect of the american dream. This book is about a boy named Billy who lives in the Ozarks. He wants more than anything else, to own a pair of hunting hounds. However, his parents are poor and cannot buy them for him. One day he sees an ad for hunting hounds. He decides he will get them. He works hard for two years until he has saved enough money to buy them.
An aspect of the American dream is to achieve your own personal dream (seemingly) by your own power. Billy does just this. He realized he could not achieve his dream by asking other people for it. So he worked hard and earned his dream, fulfilling the American Dream.
