N2  - "Poor Blossom: The Story of a Horse" by Edith Carrington is a fictional account written in the late 19th century. The story is narrated from the perspective of Blossom, a horse, and chronicles his life journey from his early days in a kind farm setting to his varied experiences under different masters in urban life. The story explores themes of kindness, cruelty, and the struggle of the horse as a sentient creature within human society.  At the start of the tale, Blossom reminisces about his idyllic beginnings on a farm where he learned valuable lessons from his mother about the human-animal relationship. The narrative shifts as he learns about the complexities of life with humans, including the cruelty of their kind. We are introduced to other horses, like Rip, providing a glimpse into their dynamics and aspirations. Blossom’s early innocent play transitions into a realization of his future labor and subservience as he prepares to be broken in for service. This opening sets the stage for Blossom's subsequent trials, creating a poignant contrast between his naive youth and the harsh realities of life as a working horse in society.
