You have read passages from the novels The Georges and the Jewels and Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse. Both were written in the first-person point of view. Write an essay in which you compare the way the authors use the first-person point of view to develop the characters.

Be sure to cite specific examples from both passages.

Both stories are below! :D

In this essay I will talk about the passages from the Georges and the Jewels and Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse. These two passages talk about horses riding and teaching in a scenic matter and in a first person view of the trainer and the horse.

With the the first passage (the Georges and the Jewels) they develope the characters by the way they enter the scene, actions they committed and how they talk to the other characters. You can tell the dad is very passionate about horse riding, wise and has been doing this for quite some time. He's wise and passionate because of the talk he has with Abby in paragraphs 8,9 and 10. He is also done it for a long time with the evidence "I started riding when I was 3 and started helping my dad train the horses when I was 8...". Abby is a child that doubts herself in her ability to train this certain, thinking its impossible. Hou can tell it has bucked her multiple times when she depicts the situation of when you get bucked perfectly and switched into a situation she was in herself. You can see that in these lines: "...you might lie there, as i did, with the wind knocked out of you and you think about how nice it would be to not get back on, because that horse is just dedicated to bucking you off. So that what I did..." This lassage describes characters in a less obvious way. Now on to the next passage.

In the second passage depicts less of the characteristics but more of the experience of the specific character. The horse mentioned in the story is a younger male horse who debates on whether the horse back riding industry is good or bad throughout the passage. He talks as if he is talking in past tense or telling a story. He develops throughout the passage by giving cons then debunking them with pros. At first the horse seems to think that horse back riding is bad but then he changes his mind as seen in: "...and under your chin and no way in the world you can get rid if that nasty hard thing; it is very bad. Yes, very bad. Or atleast I thought so..." The "Master" is described as a gentle and kind person. He was nice to the horse and placed stuff on and "in" the horse quite nicely and less rough. You can see this in: ",what with the nice oats, and what with my masters pats, nice words and gentle ways..." This passage described characters by how they talk and treat other characters. Now I'm going to compare the two and close out the essay

These two passages describe characters in similar and different ways. As we can tell they both describe the characters by dialogue and how other people talk about them. Black Beauty is in the perspective of a horse so the impression of people is different than of a human. In the G.A.T.J they talk more about the father and daughters relationship and how the father knows alot about the horses. That is the end of the essay and how Black Beauty and the G.A.T.J compare in terms of character development.

I hope this helps.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

the answer is "the man who came here yesterday was selling magazines."
