Reo Donkeys Narrative
Once upon a time in the 1980s at around midnight, the evil donkeys stole the horse’s hay. So, as a result, the horses gathered in for a barn meeting to randomly draw a young horse’s name from the age of thirteen through eighteen. The horse that was selected was fated to go and defeat the donkeys and take back the hay that was stolen. When the name, “Reo” was called, there were many relieved sighs from the surrounding families. All but that is; Reo’s family.
Reo, a beautiful pinto stallion, definitely had a body structure that was amazingly built. His mindset, however, is not as his physical appearance made him seem. As the thought of trying to defeat the evil donkeys pondered across his mind, he became even more frightened and does not want to go. A couple days before his journey, Reo realized that his family and fellow horses’ needed him! Finally, the day had arrived.
It was bright and early when Reo began his journey. Everyone was there to cheer him on as he trotted through the pasture. After awhile the cheers began to fade and he could no longer see the scared look on his mom’s face. Imagining the look on his mom’s face, Reo started to feel good about his decision to be brave and not chicken out. He knew that in the end his mom, friends, and the village could ultimately die of starvation and

They were very well taken care of and it was always a pleasant place to be. On the other hand, when Reo crossed over to the second pasture (owned by the donkeys) it was very poorly managed and there was almost no grass. Just as Reo crossed over to the place where he would fight for his friends and family, he noticed all of the bear traps that were randomly placed as far as the eye can see. For the next five miles, Reo cautiously dodged all of the traps set here and there. Finally, after five miles, he had reached the cave where the donkeys lived. He sees piles of hay that were stolen from the

    The title of Cormac McCarthy's novel - All the Pretty Horses, reflects the significance and variance of roles that horses play in this coming-of-age story, as they relate to John Grady Cole who is the focus of the novel. The horse, which was the social foundation of Western American culture then, is described as an economical and practical asset to the boys - John Grady and Lacey Rawlins. However, the author also describes horses' abstract qualities using idyllic and impassioned diction, depicting them as animals of a highly advanced spiritual nature, similar to humans in some ways. John Grady has an intimate relationship with all horses and understands the world of horses extraordinarily well. On his journey from Texas to Mexico, he learns that the world of men is very different from that of horses and is forced to rethink about the relationship between humans and horses. John discovers that his preconceived notions about men and human society are false. He finds that they do not live in a romantic world, as he had believed. Therefore, the title that McCarthy has chosen is ironic and symbolizes the change that John experiences. The author uses the title to represent John's initial perspective on the world, which turns out to be the opposite later on.…

    Salva ran into many obstacles; pain- emotional and physical. However, his biggest obstacle was losing his friends and family. At the beginning of Salva’s story, Salva’s emotions were so wired by the worry for his family that he could not understand a soldier’s motions and mistook them to be the signal for death. This shows how difficult losing family was to Salva and how it affected his life. Shortly after this situation, Salva underwent the death of his friend Marial. The author describes this like so, “Salva shook with terror inside and out. He clung to Uncle like a baby or a little boy, hanging on to his hand or shirttail when he could, never letting Uncle get farther than an arm’s length away. He looked around constantly: every movement in the go: every movement in the grass was a lion stalking, every stillness a lion waiting to spring,’’ (pg.40). This excerpt shows Salva’s fear caused by losing his only friend on the journey. His fear was so great, that Uncle had to practically drag him forward. This also shows Sava’s dependence on his family and friends and the impact their loss had on him. Linda Sue Park describes this mutualism well to the point, “If it hadn’t been for Uncle, Salva might have gone crazy with fear,” (pg.…
