xiaojun's poetry

The night
getting deep
so quiet
perhaps the birds are resting too
the moonlight projecting the shadow of the tree on the curtain
I get up and open the curtain
inviting the moonlight come into the room
dripping on the bed
washing and comforting the dusted and the tired me softly
Oh!
I'm sleeping in mom's arms again

Consider this paragraph from pages 18-19:
Sometimes we’d ditch Don, and Carl and I would go riding on Jim and Digger—which wasn’t like riding on horses but more like sitting on two big tables that could move—off down the country roads. That sounds good, and looks good in those pictures that you see on calendars all the time where the kids are riding the horse under the big trees.
But the truth is the blackflies follow the horses, and so do deerflies. Clouds of them. And the bite like the very devil….

1. What does the narrator think about riding on the horses?

2. What did it mean when Carl and the narrator would “ditch” Don?

3. Why do you think the first word of the second paragraph starts with “but”?
He really does'nt like riding horse because so many blackflies biting, hurting and itching at same time.
