![]() The villain in this story is Shiloh’s owner, Judd Travers. ![]() There are so many great discussions here as students weigh Marty’s good intentions with what he does to carry them out. Because Marty is a good person, this does not sit well with him at all. Since his parents won’t let him have a dog (because they are too poor to afford one), Marty finds himself lying on several occasions. In the story, Marty rescues a dog that is being brutally mistreated by his owner. ![]() This is a great opportunity to analyze how an author can use a local dialect to shape a character. Marty lives in rural West Virginia, and his speech patterns make that very evident. Shiloh is written in first person in the voice of eleven-year-old Marty Preston.
