Grace and Pilgrim (Sung Jun)
I would like to comment about Grace and Pilgrim. Now, I am reading Chapter 7 of this book. In Chapter 7, Grace and Tom Booker are closer and Pilgrim is getting better. "Being closer between Grace and Tom" and "Pilgrim is getting better" mean that they are healing the damage in their minds. All of us have some problems or damages in our minds. They might be big or not. However, not all of us can recognize them, or we don't face ourselves, or we hide in the corner of our minds. It is not right. All the problems and wounds in our minds, we are able to face by ourselves.
Grace made up her mind talking about the accident and told Tom the details of it, and Pilgrim tried walking around by Tom. This is facing, recognizing and realizing the process of healing their problems and wounded minds. I found out an important thing. It is different for each of us to deal with our problems and worrying. Grace is getting over her wounded mind by herself, but Pilgrim is solving his problems supported by Tom's supervision. If Pilgrim stayed at the stable with the other horses, I wonder if he solve the problems by himself.
In conclusion, because there is absolutely a difference between humans and animals, there is going to be a difference in the process of healing and solving each one's problems. Of course, I have not read all of the book and don't know the end of the story. However, I can believe that they would each be in the process of healing, and can run in the green fields near Choteau together. Grace is on Pilgrim's back.
