Grammar check and sentence structure... etc. check, (This is an book review) : My initial impression of War Horse by Michael Morpurgo was a war-fiction novel plotted during the first World-War (1914), based on warfare, duty, language and communication and friendship theme.

It begins with a unique bond between a little pony called Joey and a youthful man called Albert, who tames and raises him to be a farm horse. When they are separated, the novel follows the remarkable journey of the horse as he moves through the war, transforming the lives of those he meets, the British battalions, German soldiers, a French farmer and his granddaughter named “Emilie. The novel arrives at its most emotional moment in the story, Joey discovering himself injured and alone in “No-man’s-land,” he is found by the British and is taken to their vet canvas. There, Joey is reunited with Albert, who has enlisted in the military as a veterinarian to find Joey. Albert nurses Joey back to shape. The war finishes.

Explanation:

One of the kids who came to the farm from Birmingham, a boy called Billy, the teachers warned me that he had a stammer and told me not to ask him direct questions because it would terrify him if he had to be made to speak because he doesn’t speak...I came in the last evening into the yard behind this big Victorian house where they all live, and there he was, Billy, standing in his slippers by the stable door and the lantern above his head, talking. Talking, talking, talking, to the horse. And the horse, Hebe, had her head just over the top of the stable, and she was listening; that’s what I noticed, that the ears were going, and I knew she knew that she had to stay there whilst this went on, because this kid wanted to talk, and the horse wanted to listen—this was a two way thing...I went and got the teachers, and brought them up through the vegetable garden, and we stood there in the shadows, and we listened to Billy talking, and they were completely amazed how this child who couldn’t get a word out—the words were simply flowing. All the fear had gone, and there was something about the intimacy of this relationship, the trust building up between boy and horse, that I found enormously moving, and I thought: Well yes, you could write a story about the First World War through the eyes of a horse, and yes, the horse didn't understand every word, but she knew it was important for her to stand there and be there for this child.

Hope this helps

Have a nice day

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
