Green discusses his family folklore, which reveals a common theme of animals. The family unites under this topic because they have each had experiences with animals. All of the stories are told with humor, which shows that each person has overcome the negative emotions they experienced at the time. The animal theme points to the family's heritage and ancestry of farmers and pioneers. Created by Freeman Green while enrolled in Kristi A.
