The Black Stallion Ledgened
The book the black stallion legend is about a boy by the name of Alec Ramsey and his horse "the black", Alec and the black go out west because one of Alec's best friend's Pam dies in a horrible car crash. In a moment of madness Alec sets his horse free in to the desert. Then dazed and heartsick, Alec wanders aimlessly until he collapses. A young native American boy by the name of Alph rescues him from death. Alph also recounts a prophecy. According to a local legend, a rider on a big black horse will protect the tribe from danger. When Alec and the black reunited, it looked like the legend had come to life. Alec while on his way into the desert his truck breaks down and is to ride the black through the very unpredictable desert. While riding through the desert, tired and thirsty and alone with no other humans because Alph had left him, Alec and the black run into a mob of the "loco brothers" who are people of Alph's people and Alec's, strung out on crazy weeds, covering their bodies with white powder and living in a dream world of their own making. The loco brothers attack Alec and the black almost killing them. My favorite character in the book is Alec because he was not afraid of the loco brothers and he did protect the native American village from danger(the loco brothers). My favorite part in the book was when Alec and the black ran into the loco brothers, and they tried to kill them but did not succeed(ha ha). My least favorite part in the book was when Pam died because it was sad, and Alec and Pam were really good friends.

I liked the book a lot because it had a lot of action like what happened with the loco brothers. I would recommend this book to someone who likes fictional books and likes an adventure in a book.

    I thought the book was really good. I found that the book moved at a fast pace. None of the parts were too long or too boring. I liked how the author made it interesting by giving Brian many problems he had to face. The part where he gets rescued by the fur buyer was very cool to read. If I were placed in his situation, I probably would not survive. Even though Brian faced many difficulties and got discouraged, he never gave up. He was determined to survive no matter what crossed his path. I need to be just as determined to find solutions to problems I face and think rationally about…

    I didn’t personally like the book I thought it wasn’t very exciting. Maybe if the book was more exciting or had more twist or turns it would be more enjoyable. It did change my attitude about boys being smarter than girls but even when Calpurnia was talk all science to her brother he had no idea what she was talking about. I probably would not recommend this book unless you're more into having the same idea throughout the whole…

    One thing I loved about the book is the characters. Everybody has an identity that they will have to live by to cover their real one. Every half-blood has ADHD and is dyslexic because they need for fighting skill and understanding The Greek language.For example,like Chiron,he's supposed to be Mr.Bummer, a Latin teacher in a motorized wheelchair, but his real identity is a centaur, half man, and half horse. Another thing that I like was the…

    The movie and the book Like Water for Chocolate are both well written. I enjoyed the book because it had a different layout than the other books we have read thus far. The film was an asset to see because it followed the book so well that it gave you more ideas about things that you might not have totally understood while reading it. This is the first Spanish movie that has had such a positive effect on the book which makes the movie that much more amazing.…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    In my honest opinion I did not like this book and I do not recommend it. The story itself is magnificent but the fact that it is 100% based off of the movie makes it pointless to read. They could have thrown in more deadly obstacles to face and made it worth reading. Overall it had more weaknesses than strengths. Strengths I can give is that if you haven’t seen the movie, then the book could definitely give you exactly what you’ve missed out on. It is a great story and is more than your average adventure tale. Reading it really does make you feel like you were a kid again, running around and being creative.…

    One of my favorite characters was Josh, since he is one of the only characters that seems to act of his own free will, ignoring the attitudes and beliefs of those around him, and giving the appearance of being free from the restraints of the racial inequality that surround the African-Americans in the story. Josh would rather die than be subservient and treated like an animal. I at first found this admirable but was later sad to read that his hatred got the…

    What I like about this novel is that it’s not like a novel that I have read before. I first want to remark that I like the time frame of the novel taking place during the Second World War and in the setting of New Mexico. I enjoy how the novel begins about a young boy who is conflicted with the pressures of parent opposed expectations. Needless to say, Antonio the main character has to grow up to be a man on his own without some kind of guidance from brothers who are away at war during the early chapters. However I like how Ultima becomes a mentor and supporting important character in his life. I also like some of the characters introduced throughout the novel such as of course Ultima, but also Narcisco. Although my enjoyment of the friendly…
