Long Answer

1. Marty and Dad both believe in making the right decision. To Marty, making the right decision is about making decisions based on what is morally correct while Dad bases his decisions on what is lawful. Though the two are arguably correct in that they are making the “right decision,” the results of their decision are wildly different because while Marty would protect Shiloh from danger, Dad would allow danger to befall Shiloh based on Judd’s right to his property.

2. Silence is first observed in the novel when Dad tells Marty that the abuse Shiloh endures is none of his business. The fact that Dad refuses to acknowledge the abuse and report it speaks to the power silence has over the characters in the novel. The people of Friendly itself have an unspoken rule to keep quiet and avoid snitching to law enforcement. This attitude can become dangerous to individuals and animals as silence prevents those who are abused from having a voice and being protected.
