Stupid Critique of the Stupid Horse :P

 In the sample essay "The 'Stupid Horse" I found many interesting portions of it that grasped my attention. What i found was a great tool was how the writer would bring up the story of the horse, in order to ensure the relevance between the events in Arnold's life and how he confronts them to the theme of the story. Each certain event in Arnold's life correlated with a part in the story. They weren't any random event either, they were carefully chosen part that had similar plot to that of the horse story. The essay isn't a bunch of random events from the Arnold's life with sections from the story put throughout the story, it has a chronological flow to it so the reader isn't confused why the horse was nothing but bones before it even drowned and why Arnold was in Reardan before he had the talk with his math teacher. The work in this paper is very convincing because it has a well-organized structure to it with a very stern thesis that can be proven easily. The evidence that is grabbed from the book is great. It isn't portions of a quote on adds any unnecessary extra information to it. It might have some grammar or punctuation errors here and there but they aren't too major that it disrupts the flow of the essay.
