Post B Week 2 OUT CHASING HORSES
Out Chasing Horses has been a really sad book so far. First Jon and Trond go out chasing horses, which means they steal horses and ride them for a while. It's cool because they are like those cowboys on TV, one of them scares the horses, and the other hangs from a branch of a tree. When the horses run underneath him, he drops and lans on a horse. Unfortunately, it looked easier than it truly was and Trond gets hurts when he hits the horse, and then gets bucked off. That's not the sad part though. After Jon and Trond have done this, the go climb a tree. There is a tiny birds nest, which they look at for a while. Trond comments on how precious life is, and how lucky these birds will be when they have grown and are able to fly away and live thier lives. This affects Jon in a way Trond could not have anticipated, and Jon is hurt and crumbles the nest, and lets it drop from the tree. What Trond didn't know is that earlier that day, Jon had returned from his favourite pastime, hunting, and set his gun down on the table and left to bathe in the river. His younger brothers, who idolized him, went to the table and found the gun, and begun to play than they are hunting, just like thier older brother Jon. Not knowing the gun was not locked, Lars jokingly pulls the trigger, accidentally killing his brother.
