Hi, I'm Oyuqui! I´m going to reply to question # f.
ResponderEliminarDid you expect a different ending to this story?
Yes, I expect a different ending, I think that the protagonist will be the winners of the competition because they deserve it after all the effort they put in. But with the situation of cheating, the ending was good because no need no have winners or losers, just the effort they put into training until the competition.

Hi, I'm Doménica Mandich, I'm going to reply to question #2.
ResponderEliminarI think that horses do convey a feeling of peace. They are noble and kind creatures that seem like they can understand everything they hear and have a look that seems as if they look straight into your soul.
Hi, I'm Dayanara! I´m going to reply to question # 3.
ResponderEliminarNo, he wasn't. His way of teaching was not good. It was terrible. Even though they eventually learned to swim, his teaching could have been better, considering they did not know how to swim previously.
Hi, I'm Paulette Guerrero! I´m going to reply to question# b
ResponderEliminarHorses can transmit peace, they are even used for therapies, in the book we can see the change of attitude in Nails, since after spending time with the horse he became more friendly.
Hi, I'm Margarita! I'm going to reply question b). Nails had a transformation in himself when he started to visit the horses because they are wonderful animals. I think that the horses transmit a feeling of peace because when I was a child, I rode a horse and I felt exactly like Nails.
ResponderEliminarHi, I'm Andrés Alcívar! I´m going to reply to question # 6. I was expecting an ending in wich the Hawkwood team would win the competition, but in the moment I saw that teams were cheating, I thought the end was good because there weren't any winners o losers, and it encouraged children to be better and sincere for the next tetrathlon.

ResponderEliminarI've never seen a horse in person but there are beautiful pictures and drawing with them that transmit peace.
