Status Updates From Black Beauty

Part of a reading challenge with friends.
Has been made into a movie. I love the story and have always wanted to read the book.

Also a B book for Jan.
And is a book about horses. My goal is to include as many horse books as I can for my reading challenges this year.

“Your master never taught you a truer thing,” said John. “There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham—all a sham, James, and it won't stand when things come to be turned inside out and put down for what they are.”

I was willing to work, and ready to work hard too; but to be tormented for nothing but their fancies angered me. What right had they to make me suffer like that?

I like this a lot so far. Very interesting and well written. Having trouble with coming up with stuff to talk about in class thought so I hope something more complex happens so I can ask a question about it.
