21 What Do You Think? Read each of the situations described in the boxes below. Think about what happened in each situation. Then answer the questions next to each box. Situation 1 Doc Smith suggested that little Willy let someone else take care of his sick grandfather. She said that little Willy could live with her, and a neighboring farmer might want to take Searchlight. Little Willy refused to listen to her. He said that he, Grandfather, and Searchlight were family - they would take care of each other. Do you agree with Doc Smith that is would be better to break up the family and let someone else care for Grandfather? Why or why not? Situation 2 When little Willy looked at the snow-covered mountains, he thought of something Grandfather had once said: "There are some things in this world worth dying for." Little Willy was faced with the possibility that his grandfather might die. And if he did die, it was because he was afraid of losing the farm. He had given up on living because he couldn't pay the taxes. Do you think Grandfather is right to give up on life? Is his problem something worth dying for? Why do you feel as you do? Situation 3 Grandfather wouldn't let little Willy use his college money to help pay the taxes. More than anything, he wanted his grandson to get an education. But then little Willy took the money out of the bank to pay the entrance fee for the dogsled race. Do you think little Willy was wise to use his college money to pay the entrance fee? Why or why not? 21
22 Character Analysis: Required Activity Stone Fox is a very complex character. Fill out the chart below to identify the character's description, behavior and beliefs from this section (chapters 7-10). You will use this information to write a paragraph about Stone Fox's motivation and reason to win the race. Make sure to include how and why Stone Fox changed later in the story. End of the story events descriptive words about Stone Fox how Stone Fox behaved Stone Fox's beliefs and values 22
