In Zora Neale Hurtson’s ethnography, Tell My Horse (1938), she uses her research and field notes from her year in the Caribbean islands to study how the political atmosphere and culture tie into the religion of Vodoun. Being one of the first in her field to study this religion, Hurston hoped to expand research upon the subtle nuances within the African diaspora and increase the people of Caribbean’s acceptance of their African identity. In doing so, Hurtson found her research discouraged the idea of Pancaribbeanism and diminished stereotypes of Vodoun being a religion based upon only evil possession and pagan sacrifice.

“I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I'd always known. That all courage was a form of constancy. That it was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily.” (Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses) Humans are fallen, they have a tendency to be self centered and for one to take themselves out of their own body and see themselves, in the way they think and process images and words is

Every human to exists on earth experiences a moment in their life when they have felt immense despair, sorrow, or hopelessness. Whether it is from bereavement, depression, abuse, or trauma, the bitter feelings accompanied by those instances can quickly take over one’s life and suddenly, one becomes buried in dark emotions.

The book “Blood Red Horse” by K. M. Grant is a historic fiction novel set in England and Palestine during King Richard’s Crusades. I especially enjoyed this book because it colorfully retold the story of the Christians struggles to take back the city from the Muslims that were holding the city and disrespecting the sacred pieces of the Christian religion, such as the Jewish temples. The plot is very exciting and keeps the reader enthralled with every turn of the page because of the vivid details and exiting action the author masterfully tells.

You came into my life so many years ago. A friend and a confidante, being there to share my happiness and my sorrow. A pony that stood 13 and half hands high, a character that made me smile. Your hair shone so bright, white in colour with dapples dazzling to the human eye. Your mane and tail matched the brilliance of your coat, white as snow and soft to touch beneath my hand. Memories of rubbing my face against your neck, inhaling the aroma of your skin, enticing you to bend your head towards me, blowing softly through your nostrils, inviting me to stay and caress you with gentle flowing strokes across your body.

This story was definitely a thriller. In this book we meet a man named Zane. He was a present who did not live the best life. He was a poor man with zero income who had a habit of gambling.

I woke to the sound of my sister, Eos, making food in the kitchen. My cat, Lilac, was laying in the sun in the windowsill. “Morning Lilac.” I said softly. She looked towards at the sound of my voice and meowed. “What is it, girl?” I ask, getting up and walking to the window. Outside, I saw a large bird laying on the ground. The bird was pure white, but I noticed the tip of one wing was red. I went into the kitchen and told Eos. “It might be hurt. Let me get a first aid kit and I’ll meet you outside.” She told me. I hurried outside near the bird. I was afraid to get close in case it might attack me. I hope Eos hurries, I thought in my head. Just as I was about to go and get my sister, she came out,

D.H. lawrence was a writer during the early 1900’s. His writing was very controversial and sometimes his success was even overseen from the controversy. “Lawrence's writings are characterized by spontaneity, vividness, and intensity of feeling. Like many other modernist writers, he sharply criticized industrial society while trying to imagine a new, more authentic basis for modern life”(Winter). One of Lawrence's most known writings is The Rocking-Horse Winner which supplies his audience with three important messages.

“The Rocking Horse Winner” a short story written by D.H Lawrence that follows the short and tragic life of a boy named Paul, who assumes he has amazing luck after realizing he can predict racehorse winners by furiously riding his rocking horse until he reaches a trance-like state. Unfortunately, as his family takes advantage of his gift and starts gaining more money, Paul’s luck begins to kill him. Literally. Throughout the story, there are several themes evident, such as wealth, life, conscious, existence, luck, family, and greed. The conflicts displayed are man vs man, man vs self, and man vs. society. The rocking horse has become an obsession for Paul and the potential benefits it would have on his family, ultimately not knowing the actual harm it will cause.
