Horse Ride

The book this chapter talks about eustace's horse ride across the country which he makes with Susan and Judson. This is a real chance for Eustace to reach for freedom and I think that it is a very majestic undertaking and that it has been a great source of relief for him and is brother. i think that the coolest and weirdest part of the trip is when he fights with Peter Rabbit in order to gain dominance ofver him. i also think that it is a stupid stereotype for him to ride his horse into the ocean just becasue he got in the oceam. Now his horse is all wet and will be freaked out by the ocean when he could have just gotten of the horse and run in himself.

Apprentices

Eustace holds his pprentices to the highest standards. This is because he wants to train them to be like him even though they cannot possibly hold up to his unussually high standards. The apprentices come to the camp epecting to have a fun learning experiecne and Eustace thinks that they do not come enough to work. He ends up firing quite a few of them but personally i would not mind being his apprentice if i had nothing better to do. It would be a horrbile thing to try and do while one was busy but if I could devote my life to it then I would be happy to work 12 hour work days with a man that can saw through his fingers and still work. That was pretty hardcore with the chainsaw.

turtle island

Turtle island is the land that eustace establishes for himself in the farthest corners of North Carolina. This place allows Eustace to get away from the feeling of loss that he gets whenever he inhabits a wilderness that he does not own that gets destroyed. This makes it so that he is able to keep his own place that he can call his own. It enables I'm to have his own retreat and the fact that he is surrounded by genuinely American people only increases the value of the land. It is a gateway for Eustace not only to find a quite place for himself but also to make a gateway for the American people to find a way to leave their own lives and commune with nature. I like the book so far!

Discrimination

Discrimination is a prevalent topic in today's society and thus it creates minority groups that go after the same types of goals that slaves such as Linda went after in the times of slavery. Some of the groups that struggle through the same things are people that are coming from places that are unfamiliar and foreign to us as americans. Foreigners are discriminated against in a basic mindset that some americans think they are just different and strange. However all of these groups are fighting for an end to discrimination just as Linda did.
