Resolution

Authors Note: This is a summery of the book, Moon of Two Dark Horses. If it is possible I would like this to be graded on improveing my body paragraphs by having clear transitions and topics.

Moon of Two Dark Horses is a book that follows Coshmoo, an Indian boy that is faced with many challenges. He must face challenges from his family, friends, and even British traders! Read the rest to find out more about his conflicts on this journey; Friendship/Betrayal, Tribal Worries, and Family Problems.

Coshmoo and Daniel have been best friends for a long time. But when war comes they are forced to split. Daniel is American and Coshmoo, Indian. So when the time came they had to go with their families, who were on opposite sides. Soon afterwards, Daniel believed that Coshmoo betrayed him by burning his land and cutting off his food supply. Of course he didn’t but this is what split them up the most.

With this, Coshmoo’s tribe is having large difficulties. This book has to do with much spiritual beliefs. On pages 50-55, a story is told about a crow and the ‘Great Creator’. Some in the tribe chose to not listen to thing like this and go to more practical options such as joining the King’s side.

On top of this, Coshmoo has Family problems/issues. He has jealousy towards his glorified cousin, Flying Wolf. To Coshmoo, he is a glory hog. Who also gives things to a girl he likes whose name is, White Fawn. Also, in his dreams, Coshmoo’s deceased father come to him in dreams as a sort of warning.

To sum it up, this time for him was tough. His friend felt betrayal, his family is making him go nuts, and he must pick a side for the war. In the end, Coshmoo joins the British with the rest of his tribe. Also sadly, he was killed when he scouted an area. His mother had these words to say of his bravery, ‘“Ten white men’s lives for the life of my beloved son. My Coshmoo.”’ Page 213. Were his conflicts resolved? In a way yes, in a way no. Yes for him being welcomed into a great new afterlife with no pain. No for nothing in his life being solved for others to hear.
