Upon arriving in Manitouwadge, and playing some hockey with the Moose team, Saul recaptures a piece of him, that the residential school had repressed. Saul was thrilled upon hearing “‘Welcome to the Moose.’ Virgil thumped [Saul] on the back, and they all rattled the blades of their sticks on the ice… I was a Moose.” (106) The fact that he was free, and had found a community of his own helped his spirit to rebuild the damage that was done to it. Ensuing the maturing of Saul; along with the complete loss of his identity, he returns to the Moose, where he reflects back on his mistakes, but looks to the future smiling. Virgil helps him realise who Saul’s friends are and that they are always there for him. When they were playing a long-past due hockey game, Virgil “smiled and tapped [Saul’s] stick with his. ‘Together.’ he said. ‘Like we shoulda all along.’ I smiled.” (221) By accepting his past and readying himself for his future, Saul eliminates the regret, which was holding back a big piece of who he is. Finally, Saul returns to God’s Lake where he regains the main piece of his identity that was taken from him by St. Jerome’s- his identity as an Ojibway.

Indian Horse, written by Richard Wagamese tells the life story of a man named Saul Indian Horse and he describes his many years at residential school and how they affected his life. From the 1870s to the mid-1990s Indian residential schools were put in place to “civilize” the Indian child; the primary goal of residential schools was to take the Indian out of the child. Richard Wagamese’s, Indian Horse sheds light on the different horrors that aboriginal children were forced to endure while at residential school. Aboriginal children were severely physically abused, psychologically abused, and girls as well as boys were forced to perform physically demanding and often dangerous tasks during their time at these institutions

Comprehending an excerpt of Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese leads me to feel various negative emotions that can be classified into three major feelings which involve fury, agitation, and sorrow. With a ridiculous reason that they were Aboriginals, numerous children got forced into residential schools and were sacrificed to add such a disgraceful history of Canada. The first emotion I felt was fury in the scene when the boy who opposed to change his family name was beaten by the supervisor “until he collapsed” (46). I thought this behavior was cruel enough to be considered as a child abuse and deserve criticism to use violence against kids. Additionally, the part where the author described the “rare unsupervised time” generated most agitation.

Horses are from the taxonomic group Equidae. If the horse is in the subspecies Caballus they are consider to be domesticated. People began to domesticate horses around 4000 B.C. They domesticated them meaning that they trained them to become closely associated with humans, they would be completely different from what they were in the wild (unapproachable). The only remaining true wild horse, that has never been domesticated is close to becoming extinct. Which happens to be the Przewalski horse. Most horses have a life span of 25-30 years and can have gestation period on average of 320-370 days.

Recently, I bought my very first horse. It wasn’t the very first horse that I had ever had before, but she was the very first one that I purchased all by myself. I spent so much time looking for the perfect prospect that had great racing bloodlines, a good mind, great conformation, and aged four or five years old. I wanted a mare that I could start on barrels this summer, then breed while I am away at college. I finally ended my search in Illinois. I bought a five year old bay mare that was bred very nicely, had a kind eye, and a sweet personality. She hadn’t been ridden much since she was broke as a two year old, but I fell in love with her sweet disposition. Even though she didn’t know very much, she didn’t have a mean bone in her body, which

When I was a little girl I always wanted a horse. Finally when I was ten I got my first horse. Dad surprised me with her. Her name is Penelope. I was really excited when I got Penelope. It took us awhile to name her. My dad picked Penelope and Alec and I agreed it was a good name.

I don’t know if capture the author’s meaning since it has different interpretations. I look forward to reading my classmates' answers to see what they came up with.

The Arabian horse breed is very unique and talented. They can do many different sports, which many of the sports they do are similar to the Quarter horse and Thoroughbred. These sports include: horse racing, English and western pleasure, cutting and reining, jumping, and dressage. The Arabian has an interesting body style which makes them better at certain things (Arabian Horse Association, 2018).

Most people see horses as sweet, gentle animals that give pony rides at the state fair, but the power and agility that won wars is often left unrealized. Since horses are no longer needed for survival we often underestimate their capabilities. The fastest horses today (thoroughbreds) and the endurance horses (Arabians) both originated from Egyptian stock. Basically, the Egyptians bred fast horses with incredible stamina. These horses could run 35+ mph and could pull up to 6 times their body weight. When horses began pulling chariots for war, armies could travel farther, faster, and more efficiently. Soldiers in chariots remained safer than those marching on two feet and had clearer shots at oncoming enemies. Two horses at full speed

In the story “The Horse and His Boy” by C.S. Lewis, there is a clear theme that is shown many times throughout the story through examples and author’s craft in this fantasy world. The story follows pre-teen boy Shasta who, in a desperate attempt to escape his father selling him to a cruel slave owner, teams up with a talking horse to journey to the free-land of Narnia, but they have to travel through the Harsh land of Calormen, and they team up with other escapees along the way. The theme is laid out as sometimes having to work with different, challenging people is required to reaching a goal.

Cast members such as Abdelhakim Rachi and Abdelilah Rachid helped display a truly unpredictable plot line revolving around the ways in which the suicide bombers of Casablanca in 2003 came to be.
