  • A Horse: Macdonald's Theodicy in at the Back of the North Wind
    32 Stott This is (Not) a Horse: MacDonald’s Theodicy in At the Back of the North Wind G. St. John Stott I George MacDonald insisted in his essay “The Fantastic Imagination” that the meaning of a work should be evident to its readers. He did not mean by this that there was only one meaning to a text, or that the author’s intent in writing was privileged, but that if a reader could not make any sense of what was written and the author had to step in, something had gone wrong. Under such circumstances commentary was a mistake. As he noted, using a simple analogy, “[I]f I cannot draw a horse, I will not write THIS IS A HORSE under what I foolishly meant for one” (LP xii). We might remember this when we read in At the Back of the North Wind (1871) a conversation between what might (or might not be) two cab horses: Diamond and Ruby. It is a puzzling scene which MacDonald refuses to make clear. Cab horse conversations can be easy to understand. In Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty (1877), a work that was perhaps written as a response to At the Back of the North Wind,1 the eponymous Beauty discusses with Captain (a former army horse) the latter’s experiences in the Crimea: I said, ‘I have heard people talk about war as if it was a very fine thing.’ ‘Ah!’ said he, ‘I should think they never saw it. No doubt it is very fine when there is no enemy, when it is just exercise and parade and sham fight.

  • Main Idea Worksheets | Black Beauty
    Name: ___________________________________ Finding the Main Idea Black Beauty In 1877, Anna Sewell wrote Black Beauty. In the story, Black Beauty, a black horse, tells of his life among many masters. In this passage, Black Beauty tells of his time as a horse that pulls a cab in London. 45. Jerry’s New Year For some people Christmas and the New Year are very merry times; but for cabmen and cabmen’s horses it is no holiday, though it may be a harvest. There are so many parties, balls, and places of amusement open that the work is hard and often late. Sometimes driver and horse have to wait for hours in the rain or frost, shivering with the cold, while the merry people within are dancing away to the music. I wonder if the beautiful ladies ever think of the weary cabman waiting on his box, and his patient beast standing, till his legs get stiff with cold.

    “Must Reads” are, as their name suggests, books you must read. They’re books that have stood the test of time or have enthralled MUST READS good readers as soon as they hit the bookstands. They’re books that are an essential part of a well-rounded, classical education, and 2020-2021 they’re books we believe in here at SLOCA.

Below, Trimester 1 books are listed in the first column, Trimester 2 in the second column, etc. However, please think of this list as fluid depending on your child’s reading ability and maturity. Many of these books would also make great read-alouds for the entire family. After all, as author C.S.
