This a story about a family where the father likes to Burn Barns. They move from town to town and the father continues to start fights with outers and burns down the barns. the youngest child town between either telling the truth or sticking with the family. At the end the mother tries to hold him back from telling the family that his father was about to burn the barn. He escapes out of his mothers arms and tells the family. He runs away and never looks back.
I think that this story is all about loyalty and the different types. In this story we see loyalty to family, town and self. In the beginning the young boy is loyal to his family and at the end he is loyal to himself cause he knew he needed to tell the truth. The loyalty to the town is shown though out the story where the people kick the family out to protect one another.
Also this story is about power. The father feels like he need to have control not just over his family but where ever they live. He has to show everyone that hes the boss and he can do what ever he wants.
