My favorite question was : How does the fight scene contribute to John Grady Cole’s development into the typical Western hero?

The western cowboy character reveals himself through John Grady after the cafeteria assassin tries to kill him. Although he did not want to kill the assassin, John Grady showed his ability to handle whatever comes at him, just like a western cowboy should be able to. Under discretion, he takes out his opponent with the convenient knife that he previously purchased.

All I have to say is wow. It makes me mad that the Mexicans wouldnt believe that it was Blevin's horse and that he didn't want to kill anyone, he just wanted his horse and gun back ! And then they kill him ! Ugh so unfair. I bet Grady and Rawlins are going to be really sad, even though they thought he was a burden on them from the first day they met. I hope they both get freed and saved. The author never fails to include tons of details for every scene though ! Good job to him.

This story is much more interesting now ! I love hearing all the stories about breaking the horses because their my favorite animal >:) and it is a lot easier to read now that we've gotten more into the story. I'm excited to see where the girl and J.C.'s relationship goes, but I bet poor Rawlins will get jealous and feel left out ! It'll probably cause problems with the girls family and John Grady and Rawlin's jobs too. Oh yeah, and where the heck did Blevin's go ?!
