Horse Ride across the Country

Eustace created this challenge in order for him and his brother to become closer. Eustace wanted to make it across the country by Easter and experience it all with his brother. I thought this was a pretty interesting idea, and unlike chris McCandless, I think Eustace knew exactly what he was getting himself into. On his journey he buy s a horse his prize possession, Hobo. hobo seems to have a lot of characteristics of Eustace but I think the more interesting possession he has is his mule, Peter Rabbit. When the previous owner warns Eustace that he can not be tamed, he buys him anyways. Throughout the chapter it is a constant struggle with the stubborn animal and trying to tame him. There is one point in the book where he actually starts hitting the mule  because the mule kicked Eustace's brother in the face. When he broke out and Peter Rabbit and Eustace got into it I found it to be a bit funny and not the sort of thing Eustace would have done. That was the thing I believed to be the most interesting of this chapter.
