Tom Horn ( Industrail)

The movie is from the true story of Tom Horn (1901), is a cowboy. He was hired by John Cotler, member of the Association to protect the cows. He is good at rifle. He killed the cow theives. He fall in love with a your school teacher. Unfortunately, he was accused that he was killed young boy. But the real reason that he was teased by association member which unsatisfied him. But John believe that Tom is innocent. However he was sentenced to hang.

The main character is Tom Horn,a cowboy, honest and faith person. He like the hill. He keep his word. He such a great horse rider and gunshooter. He love to have the freedom.

From the movie, I realize that when people get into the industrail age, people mostly wearing suits. Not much of the people wearing cowboy clothes, however, they still riding horses and carring guns. Also, the way of hanging people is different, they developed to use the water system. The music in this movie is kind of folk and country music I saw they guitar and violin. Importantly, in the industrial age the cowboy seem to be in the second class people, they have to do work and become drunken. I wonder why Tom was sentenced to death because in reality he's not wrong, there should be some way to help him. (^0*!)

You are probably the tiniest girl in the class but you write BIG, very BIG. This is as good a blog as you have written.

Tom Horn really lived and really was a hero. He was one of the last big name cowboys. He ended up being found guilty on illegal charges and hung. Stupid and ignorant. The guys who hired him did not realize just how good and efficient killer he was. That must have really scared them into charging him with murder to get rid of him. He was too good and was causing people to look in their direction from the government.

Great job of blogging. Steve McQueen was dying of lung cancer in this movie. I could see that he was in a lot of pain and looked really bad throughout the movie. It fit Tom Horn who was at the end of his trail with no where to go.
