The Cowboy
I liked this story even though I was confused at some parts. It wasn't like the other stories we've read. It was more about following the everyday life of man who worked on a farm for an old man and an old woman. I wonder why the old woman was so mean? Maybe it was because she used to be beautiful, but now she was not. After the old woman died, I figured the old man would be happy and feel freed, but to my surprise he didn't. I guess since his sister was his only family he felt lonely. Luckily, he and the handy man formed a close relationship over the years. Was there something more that these people did on their farm besides heard cattle? I was kind of confused here.

I enjoyed seeing what a real Cowboy's life was about. Also I think that even though she was mean he still deeply cared for his sister. I also think that she was mean becouse she was older and in pain alot.
ReplyDeleteThats a good point. It was good to see what regular cowboy life was like w/o the indians, outlaws, and treasure hunting. Simple is good.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised how people miss family when they're gone-- even if the relationship wasn't good. I've seen it many times.
