Film clip - All the Pretty Horses "Sixteen Horses in Four Days"
Discussion over pages 97-110
Consider:
- What unusual techniques does John Grady use to break the horses?
- What might the wild horses symbolize or represent in this section?
- What parallels exist between Don Hector's ranch and the one JG has lost?
- How are the horses and their "transformation" described?
- What is significant about our "mystery girl"? How does she alter John Grady's world "in the space of a single heartbeat"?
- What instances of religious imagery do you see, and why might this imagery be significant?
HW: Read and be prepared to discuss pages 110-131 for tomorrow. Review the rhetorical analysis passage on page 123. Think about your This I Believe essay topic: it's time to focus!
