Book Report summary of, "Bless the Beast and Children".
I enjoyed reading Bless the Beast and Children by Glendon Swarthout. The story takes place in Presscot, Arizona, where six boys were sent to a camp to make them into men. The six main characters are Goodenow, Teft, shecker, the two Lally brothers, and Cotton.
The story had many twist and turns. During the boys time at camp, they were assigned the nickname, "The bed wetters", because of their poor hletic abilities. The boys devised a plan to escape from camp, steel one of the camp's vehicles and drive it to a special ranch and free tons of buffalo from their deaths. After finally stealing a vehicle and arriving at this ranch the boys devised a plan to free the buffalo. After the plan failed the six boys devised yet another plan to free the buffalo and succeeded, but not without a loss. When trying to free the buffalo by driving their vehicle through the fence, cotton crashed and was killed.
I especially liked this book because it shows courage and pride in the boys. But I disliked the length of the book.
