He feels pressured to lie on behalf of his father, Abner, because he is family; but he also feels that he should tell the truth about his father burning the barn. All his life, Sarty was taught by his father that “blood” is the most important thing in life; and because they were a poor family, it’s all they had. Although Sarty was just ten years old, he knew that lying wasn’t the right thing to do. However, he continued to lie for his father out of fear of losing his family. As the story progresses, little Sarty’s internal conflict only gets worse. His father, who would never change his ways, decides to burn down his new boss’s barn.

It hung back until the man shoved it forward…”.
Old Yeller is a coming of age novel set in 1860s Texas that details the relationship between the Coates family, especially the 14-year-old son, Travis, and a stray dog named Old Yeller. The dog is named both for his dingy yellow coat (“yeller” as pronounced in the southern accent that permeates the narrative) and his bark, which sounds more like a yell than the standard animal call. Yeller comes into the Coates family’s life after Jim, the father of the family, leaves on a cattle drive to Kansas. Before he leaves, Jim tells Travis that he is now the man of the house until he returns home, a designation which motivates Travis to take responsibility and make sacrifices for the good of his family. If Travis can prove himself worthy of the designation of being a man, his father promises to give him a man’s horse.

Jacob Blivens seemed not to truly care for the dogs and release them quickly, but to be more concerned with judging the “wicked Tom Jones.” He died in a horrific way: “He took Jacob Blivens by the ear and turned him around, and hit him a whack in the rear with the flat of his hand; and in an instant that good little boy shot out through the roof and soared away toward the sun, with fragments of those fifteen dogs stringing after him like the tail of a kite. And there wasn’t a sign of that alderman or that old iron foundry left on the face of the earth; and, as for young Jacob Blivens, he never got a chance to make his last dying speech after all his trouble fixing it up” (333).
