    would you let me break him?”

    Ugly phrase!

    He looked at the crisp, crackling little pig lying on the blue platter with an apple in its mouth

    It’s interesting that Almanzo is looking at a version of “Lucy” his pig, cooked but doesn’t make the connection. Cognitive dissonance…

    Five hogs and a yearling beef were to be killed that day

    💔😣

    An Indian was running down the track behind the sulkies. He was running as fast as the horses

    🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 Something about Europeans and white Americans in that age exploiting anyone of colour…

    It struggled and slipped in his hands

    Fish suffocate out of water if they’re not immediately killed. Trawling has destroyed the oceans with hundreds of millions of fish and other ocean life being stored ALIVE in ice down in the trawlers’ cargo holds. It’s disgusting and cruel.

    He led the sheep to the stairs, and then step by step he tugged and boosted her upward. She bleated all the way, but he got her into the loft.

    That was really stupid. She could have hurt herself trying to come down (fallen/ broken her legs)

    The buyer talked about the expense of taking the colts to New York, and about the low prices there. He had to think of his profit. The best he could offer was $175

    James Wilder should not have sold the horses to this man. He was a bad character and who knows what he did to those poor horses…

  • fatimahj07has quoted2 years ago
    But he cracked it anyway; he liked to

    He wouldn’t do that with the horses so why do it with the young oxen? Idiot…

  • fatimahj07has quoted2 years ago
    Almanzo shouted, “Gee!” and cracked the whip with all his might, close beside Star’s head.

    That must be pretty annoying to the animals 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

  • fatimahj07has quoted2 years ago
    he could have had his way, he wouldn’t have taken a bath till spring

    Err gross…
