1. I have read The Horse and His Boy before, but it was at least 3 years ago. I recently read it in an English class, and so much more popped out at me!
2. Aslan. Definitely Aslan. The more I read the Narnia books, the more I want to meet Him.
3. I have never really ridden a horse (i have but my aunt lead it), so I'm sure the horse might tell me that I'm a terrible rider (just like Shasta for the first part of the book). But it still would be an AWESOME experience!
4. This book is really different from modern books. Still, it has a great plot line and the story fits perfectly with the other books in the series. Some parts are a bit confusing, but overall, I prefer it to modern books.
5. I love this book! It's exciting and very well written. I love that Aslan is always near and plays a role in the entire book, though I wish He was in it more. I also love the fact that Rabadash (probably spelled wrong) is defeated in the end. It reminds me that good always triumphs evil in the end.
Very interesting, Dragon! I would enjoy riding a talking horse as long as it wanted me to ride it. Could be quite awkward if the horse didn't want me up there! I agree with you on Bree, he was funny and his advice was priceless. I loved the concept of a horse teaching a boy how to ride.
I just remembered a cool fact about the horse and his boy: There was a mention of Shasta aka Cor's brother Corin Thunder-Fist, in "The silver chair", which was the book written before the horse and his boy
1. I have never actually read "Horse and his boy", but I have listened to the audio books and "focus on the family's" radio vison like a million times, and I always seem to find a part of the story I don't remember very well or have completely forgotten.
2. I have to say I like Bree the best, because he's funny and he says exactly what I think a horse would say if it were doing what Bree was doing.
3. I think it would be cool to ride a talking horse because the horse would be able to tell you how to improve your riding technique better then any riding instructor ever could (no offence to any riding instructors who might read this)
4. The writing style used to write the horse and his boy is different from modern writing styles because it uses big and sometimes challenging words, but in most modern books those words are often simplified.
5. The horse and his boy is one of the most interesting books in the series, and even though it was one of the last books written in the series, C.S. Lewis did a very good job tying it in with the rest of the books.
Thanks! 😊
Your so right Cats
