Friendship Quotes in War Horse Page 1
(Chapter.Paragraph)
| Quote #1 Next to me, old Zoey leaned over her door to try to touch me, but our noses could not quite meet. |
Zoey is Joey's first friend, but they're not exactly BFFs. What is it about Zoey and Joey that make them less compatible than, say, Joey and Topthorn?
| Quote #2 "Come to think if it, we have a lot in common, you and I." (5.5) |
While on leave, Captain Nicholls tells the ladies what he has in common with a horse. But seriously, folks, out of all the soldiers Joey could have been paired with, Nicholls is the best. Strong but sensitive—he's a perfect match for Joey.
| Quote #3 [Topthorn] was the first horse I had ever come across that I felt could challenge me for strength, but there was also a kindness in his eye that held no threat for me. (5.18) |
Where Zoey was old and kind, Topthorn is young, vigorous, and strong. Horses love to work, so it's only natural that Joey would be attracted to some friendly competition.
