                              1. horse whisperers were not needed and villagers drove them out of farms
                                1. A horse whisperer controls the behaviour of horses by using natural techniques and builds up a relationship with them over time
                                  1. Farming started to become more industrialised
                                    1. the trade became associated with evil witchcraft
                                      1. the horse whisperer took revenge and left the area but misses the horses
                                      2. my ideas
                                        1. I think that the horse whisperer is a lonely character who simply wants to fit back into society's old ways
                                          1. they just want acceptance and to be able to look after the horses, who seem to be their only friends
                                          2. DOES THE TREATMENT OF THE HORSE WHISPERERS REMIND YOU OF ANY OTHER SITUATIONS?
                                            1. This poem suggests that religion could change peoples opinions of each other, for example the people changed to thinking that these people were using witchcraft and made them leave the village
                                              1. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE POEM SUGGESTS ABOUT RELIGION?
                                              2. I think they changed their minds because of new ways of farming that people were bringing into the world and soon they were not needed so people made them redundant
