Reading Response Day 1

living in Randolph, Vermont but now the setting is in Springfield, Massachusetts. It reminds me of the book, Black Beauty because they describe it in the same way they do in Black Beauty.
 * 1) 1 Today I started reading the book __Justin Morgan Had A Horse__. The characters started off


 * 1) 2 I started reading Justin Morgan Had a Horse Today. Joel (the little boy) and Mr.Morgan ( Joel's teacher) are in Springfield, Massachusetts. Mr.Morgan is trying to buy a horse from Mr .Bean. This book reminds me of the book King of the wind, because nobody wants the baby horse in king of the wind, because he is all scrawny and puney and is a grunt, and so is the horse in this book, bub.

Extra Comments: In the begining of the book when the farmer yells, "Great Jumping Jehoshaphat!", the word 'Jehoshaphat', do you know what that means? Abbi: okay.

check out this website, it explains all! []

Reading Response Day 3

is Bub the pony. He is so sweet and kind. I would say that he is sort of helpless because he is very young. I don't think I strongly have a least favorite character. But if I had to pick one it would be Mister Goss. On page 47 (chapter 5) in my book, it says at the end, Grudgingly Mister goss said, "Howdy." But he did not smile or nod. He ignored the colts completly. I thought that was pretty mean; Considering that I love horses!
 * 1) 1 I just finished reading day #3 of the book Justin Morgan Had a Horse. My favorite character in the book

He is a small little pony who loves people, he is is worth a small amount of money and is worthless. And I guess that's why I like him. I don't strongly dislike anybody in this book. But if I had to pick a least favorite character it would be Mister Goss. He has no respect for any type of animal (ecspecily horses) and wants Mister Justin Morgan to move out, because he is a man and should have his own home, and a family by now. Mister Goss is trying to take as much of Joel's mind off of horses as he can and trying to get him a job, even though he is only 10 or 11 years old.
 * 1) 2 I read day 3 today. My favorite character is Bub the pony. He is cute and kind and funny.

Extra Comments: Why did mister morgan sell Ebineser? Mrs.Rowe: Abbi, I loved the way you sited what Mr. Goss said directly from your book! I agree, he sounds pretty crabby, how can you not smile or be happy to see a baby horse?? Abbi: Saige, I had that question too in my book. My guess is because Mister Morgan did not have enough room in the barn. Abbi: Mrs Rowe. I agree with you on that. I know I would smile and be happy to see a baby horse!

Reading Response Day 5

is about a character named Mister Morgan and he owns 2 horses. One of their names is Ebineser. The other is Bub. Bub was sort of thin when I firsted started the book. But now he is a full grown horse and he is very strong. Ebineser is just like Bub, only he was more muscular when he was a colt. On page 68 in my book, where it says,"How can someone buy such a little horse?" that reminds me of the non-fiction picture book I read just recently. It was called __A Friend For Einstein, the__ __Smallest Horse in the World__ it was about the smallest horse in the world that was no bigger than a cereal box when he was first born.
 * 1) 1 Today, I just ended on page 95 of my day #5 reading. I'll asure you it was really good! Anyway, so far the book

Then he took little bub in a race. And bub won it by 1/4 a mile. news spread like wild fire that the little horse was stronger than two ox and faster than a throughbred. ( a throughbred is a race horse.) They had never seen a breed like this before so they started to call it the Morgan horse after Mr. Morgan.
 * 1) 2 Mr. Morgan bought a horse named Ebineezer and got a free horse named Bub. Mr. Morgan sold Ebineezer and asked Joel if he would train bub. Joel said yes. When bub way fully trained a person asked Mr. Morgan if he could rent bub. Mr. morgan said sure. The person took little bub in a pulling contest and bub was stronger than two ox!

Extra Comments: Saige, a throughbred isn't //always// a race horse. They can be used for many different things. Not always racing. The person that you mentioned in your summary was Ezra Fisk. I

Reading Response Day 7

responses, this book reminds me of the book, __black beauty.__ The reason of this is because most of the characters are the same, and both of the owners are very strict the horses. A text to to self connection is when my mom was going to buy me a horse and the owners of the horse were very strict and mean. So my mom didn't want me to have a horse that was mean and agressive! So we went to this place called __Equitate__ and luckly we got a horse.
