"Doe Season or Buck Season"

In questing weather the story “Doe Season” would be different if Andy was a boy rather than a girl; I am led to believe that the story would be different. The story might change as soon as the title of the story. If Andy was a boy instead of a girl, who’s to say that the story would not be called “Buck Season” instead of “Doe Season”? The story may also have changed before Andy and her father even began their deer hunting adventure. While driving to the woods Charlie begins questing why Andy is with immediately “I don’t understand why she is coming”, “And target shooting ain’t deer hunting”(512). If Andy was a boy would Charlie be questing why Andy’s father is taking her along, would Charlie be questing Andy’s shooting ability? Granted Charlie might still have questing Andy’s shooting ability if she was a boy, Charlie would not be questing why Andy’s father wants to take her hunting. Also the biggest difference a person might notice if Andy were a boy is the internal conflict Andy has throughout the story in weather she wants to show her feminism side or be more of a tom boy. The general idea of the story would stay the same weather Andy was a boy or is a girl. A father taking their son or daughter on his or her first hunting trip is a ritual that has taken place for many years and will continue to do so in the future.
