Horses of the Night

1.It is possible to be both gentle and ruthless at the same time, because Vanessa put the sattle gently back on the shelf, but ruthlessly aswell because as she was doing it, she pprobably thought of Chris, and how he said he had horses, but they are not like the horses he describes.

2. Chris is a character to sympathize with because he had grown up in the north, and had to leave, because his father died. He then had to live a hard life with Grandfather conner, always being put down because of his upbringing, and his parents.

3. Vanessa is a dynamic character. She ages and grows throughout the text. In the beginning she does not want Chris to even come, but becomes dependant on him, as her friend. She in the end, does not want Chris to leave, and is upset when he does.
4. The saddle is a symbol, because when Vanessa and Chris had spoken, he told her about his horses,. When she arrived at his home, she came to foind, that yes he had horses, but not the kind of horses he explained.
