The Summer of the beuatiful White Horse
In the short story, "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse" by Willian Saroyan one of the main characters Mourad stole a white horse and invited his cousin Aram to ride with him. The problem was Aram didn't know the horse had been stolen. Aram grew with an honest family so he didn't like that Mourad had stolen the horse. There were many vocabulary words for example, one of them was on page 4 and it was capricious, which means to have sudden change in mood or behaviour. The word capricious was a good word to decribe when Aram found out about the horse but then found it had been stolen by mourad. Another vocabulary word was on page 3 and it was pious, and that means to be religious. The setting, was on a summer day at 4 in the morning. Mourad woke Aram up just to show him the horse. Another setting was their home town that they no longer live in and its Armenia, Aram and his family never had a permenant home so as of the current living spot they live in San Joaquin valley. There was no offical dialouge that used quotation marks because the story was in first point of view. Aram was telling us the story . The protaganist in this short story was Aram. He had no idea the horse was stolen, so if they were to get introuble it wouldn't be his fault, but at the same part he did ride the horse so he would've had part in the stolen horse, even though he didn't steal the horse.
