7.) In the novel, a main character that disliked another character in the story was Rawlins. He loathed the young kid Belvins, who accompanied John Grady and Rawlins on their journey to Mexico. Rawlins was not a fan of Belvin’s because he was simply threatened by him, and he believed that Belvins was all trouble. He had a bigger horse, more ambition, and could do many things better than Rawlins even though he was so much younger. For example, in one particular scene, Rawlins is talking about how good of a “shot” he has. Belvins commented on Rawlins claim stating that he has a great shot, in fact the best one in town. Flustered after hearing enough from Belvins, Rawlins asks him to prove his shot by shooting a hole through his wallet.

All the Pretty Horses borrows heavily from the American Western genre. The novel, in both form and feeling, evokes classic Western themes and tropes. John Grady Cole, the protagonist and archetypal cowboy character, brings a gritty independence typical to the genre. However, All the Pretty Horses achieves more than a Western thematically. The novel aims not to just explore the genre, but also to transcend it, reverse it, and break it, using ironic staging and imagery. In this way, All the Pretty Horses provides a deep commentary on manhood, fate, and history, contrasting the heroes of Western legends with those of reality.

I have ridden numerous horses in my life, some more pleasant than others. The truth is, there’s no such thing as a perfect horse. There are, however, many different kinds of horses. Now when I say different kinds, I’m not talking about breeds or purposes or colors. I’m talking about horses with different personalities. That’s right. Horses with different personalities, but they’re personalities. Horses have different attitudes and characteristics just like people. There are bossy people, sensitive people, overachievers, etc. Just like people, some horses are easier or more pleasant to deal with than others.

The most important person in the book would have to be in my opinion Ponyboy Curtis. Because when Johnny and Ponyboy got jumped, Johnny had to defend himself and kill Bob or else Bob would drown Ponyboy, so when Johnny killed Bob it was because of self-defending Ponyboy. Also he is an important character because he is Darry’s and Sodapop’s kid brother and Darry is always yelling at him and not letting him do some things that Pony wants to do and Pony doesn’t use his head sometimes so he gets hurt or into bad situations and Darry one night caught Pony at 2am coming home because he fell asleep in the lot so Darry got mad and hit him and then Pony ran out and then him and Johnny ran away, but then got jumped by the Soc’s, that’s the night when

The main characters of this novel are Logan, Henry, John, and Shep. These characters had played a very big role in this book and had played them really well. Logan is a teenage boy who has blue pale eyes, and black hair. He is a very calm person. I know this because, in this novel on page 12 it states, “Mom alerts Mr.Stone and he sits up in his chair, probably embarrassed at being caught in such a relaxed state. Mr.Gains shuts the door and it takes everything in me not to press my ear against it”. Henry on the other side has a way different personality. Henry has pale brown eyes with a hint of blond hair. Henry is the bravest of all the character in this novel. I know this because, in this novel on page 44 it states, “sorry I didn't know anyone was in here.” My stomach

There are so many main characters because the book was about all ten guests. I think the most important character is the murderer himself who is given a better description in the end of the book. Justice Wargrave also known as U.N. Owen. Wargrave was accused of sending Edward Seton to his death because he found him guilty in court while 9 out of 10 said he was innocent. He grew up with the lust to kill, and he used the law as a way to send guilty people to their death without
