Follow The Rabbit Proof Fence Analysis

During the summer vacation, I gladly came across “Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence” and "War Horse"; two inspiring, and heart warming books. Both managing to prove that hope and resilience can get you through the obstacles and struggles that you face in life. Despite the great portrayal of characters and the exquisite delivery of themes by both authors, I have managed to conclude that “Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence" was the highlight of my summer reading.

It made it much more interesting as it showed a different and more precise perspective of the things happening around the horse, whether it was the nature or a different character. This made it somewhat confusing at first as no one is really used to reading a book in this narrative as you wouldn’t be quite sure who is referred to; the horse, or its owner, who is also a main character. As you get the hang of reading in this unique narrative, you find it more pleasing as it is different. Doris Pilkington, did not fail in a certain matter, but just didn’t take narrating the story to a new out of the ordinary level. She was simply narrating the girls’ lives in third person, as any other author usually would. Both texts were similar when it came to ideas, but “War Horse”’s narration definitely grabbed my
