<< Yearling >>




After I saw the movie , Yearing I think this story is the story that I like better than Song of Hiawatha and Mountain men . The first ,when I saw the name of this movie I think it's not interest story but I think wrong . This story directed by : Clarence Brown . It ' s about a boy who was Jody . His family worked about famer . He lived in Florida . His parents loved him so much because Jody was the last son and Jody 's brothers death . Jody would like to have a pet but his mother don't allow him . So he tries to talk with his father about this story . His father didn't deny . One day he met a baby deer . He tries to talk with his parents about this story . The name of the yearling was Flag . He loved Flag so much . He would like to bring Flag to his friend saw . Jody's closest friend is Fodderwing . He was strange, crippled boy who lived a mile distant in a house full of rowdy brothers and uncles . But it's too late because he dead . Jody felt bad and he cried when he saw his friend sleep on the bed . Jody was a good boy . He helped his parents for growing plant . One day his parents looked like to have somrthing to tell him that 's a bad thing . Flag ate corn and it walked on the plant so their plant damage . Jody felt bad but he tries to grow corn for solve this problem . He tries to build the fence for protecting Fage didn't went to the area where he grow corn . He did everthing by himself because his father sick . His mother saw that her son did it among raining so she help him . His father proud in his son . But finally , after everything finished everyone thouht everything is ok but Flag tries to jump across the fence yes it can do it . In the morning the parents talked about this story with their son . They wanted Jody brought his yearling let and shot it . Jody shocked with his father ' s words . He couldn't . The next day , Flag came back to Jody ' house again and something that 's not expect happen his mother shot it by herself . When Jody heard he run quickly he knew it was Flag . He 's very sad . He angry their parents and he ran away to the forest . He tried to hungy so he slept . Someone met him and took him to the home . When their parents saw him they didn't believe that they saw . They thought the last son dead but it didn't .
I like this story when I compare with the others . I like the story this style . This movie shows that in the past especially in the country many family are farmer . Human can life with the animal . They have good relationship . I think I like the first scene when Jody sits near the river everything is the natural , good views . And the scene that the three dogs ound up the black bear . It shows that they have the royal to the owner . I know about the culture of American the marriage of Oliver who are father's friend . Some scenes , Its make me cry . There are three scenes such as when Jody knows his friend dies , when Jody saw Flag dies I think he's very poor and the last scene is when Jody comes back to his home and their parents see him. I think this is a good movie . If you have chance you should watch it .

My my Ms. Saranya! You really wrote a tear-jerking and impressive blog on The Yearling. This was about a family who moved south after the Civil War and tried to scratch out a living in the wilderness of Florida. Your summary and comments were superb and I can add nothing to them. I, too, loved this story, never having seen it until last month when I got it.

This film is a classic and you have presented the reasons why.

For those reading this comment, ask me for the movie. You will not be disappointed!

Ms. Saranya,

We haven't seen this show either. The big film companies are making all of their old films availabe to the public, which is great.

Deer are more than dangerous in the United States. We have a "season" to kill deer and "field dress" it, which means to take the insides out of the deer, before they take it in to a tagging agency. Only male deer are allowed to be shot. We have three deer seasons: one is for the musket season, a gun like they had in the old days, a bow and arrow season, and then the regular season.

Weight is important, but it isn't as important as it is in fishing. In deer hunting, it is the "rack" or the antlers that count. The more antler points a deer has, the older it is. Points are sticky out-pointings, on the antler. Our state's largest deer antler came from Osage County, which is right next to where Bro. Cec was raised. It was shot on another person's land, who gave the hunter permission. When the owner found out about the big antlered deer, he tried to say that he never gave the hunter permission.

Today, many businessmen and women, pay farmers to lease their land, thus paying lots of money to hunt on their land. But the Wildlife Department, has large areas of Oklahoma that are free to hunt and fish on.

The problem with our deer, is that we probably have more deer now, than back in the old times. Wrecks where cars hit deer running across the road, are common. We have also nearly hit a deer, lots of times. Why? Because of our Wild Life Department. Let me tell you something funny.

It is illegal to hunt deer, outside of the season, and anytime an hour before daylight and an hour after sunset. Some hunters, illegally use "spot-lights", which make deer STOP AND LOOK at the light, at night. The hunter must wear an orange jacket, so no one will shoot at them. And it is illegal to hunt deer using a vehicle or from the road. You have to get out of the car, put your gun on the ground, go over the fence, and then retrieve the gun. Then, and only then can you hunt legally.

THe state department will put out fake deer. They look just like deer, but they are "stuffed" deer. Deer is plural, so you don't say "deers." Same with the word fish. Then the "game warden," will hide his car behind trees and watch the deer.

If a car or pickup stops, and the guy in the pickup pulls out the gun and shoots at the deer, or even if he doesn't cross the fence, he will be arrested. Many "poachers" will shoot the deer, several times and wonder why it won't go down. The game warden gives them a ticket, which makes them pay lots of money in fines, and the judge will take their license away for several years.

My son, Darrin, works for the Oklahoma State Wildlife Department, and if Mr. C. wants to email him and get stuff on Oklahoma Wildlife, he will send you a lot of information on it. In fact, you could send Darrin an email for information about deer in Oklahoma. It would blow them away if you did that. Just send an email to "Darrin" info@wildlifedepartment.com.

Can you believe that the Oklahoma Wildlife Department jumped ahead of all other states, to get that name. Incredible. Go look at their website, too. If asked, they would probably send you a free copy of their magazine. The department has a weekly television program that Darrin edits and makes. His name is on every TV program that is produced. THey use a Macintosh computer and Final Cut Pro.

Deer make poor pets, and it is illegal for anyone to try to tame one. You will get a ticket and have to go in front of a judge and pay a fine, for keeping baby, fawns, ... deer.

There was just a "60 Year Celebration" of Thailand commercial on, just now, about your king.

Great blogger, you are. 9-)
