Lessons

In my opinion Red is trying to teach Thomas that most people these days are not trustworthy unless you have known them for a while. Even with Red, because he knows is a great rider and he doesn’t want Thomas to be a hero or get in the spot light, so he makes him lose purposely so he can make money off him.

With the quote about fighting with people, I think he is trying to teach him that there is always going to be someone bigger than you, and some people are unpredictable and could hurt him severely. Also, that instead of wasting his energy on fighting, he should put it into riding the horses because he actually has a great chance at beating the horses since he quite an experienced rider.

Trust is very important. I think Red is partially right because people have completely lost the desire to help other people. Now days everyone uses other peoples trust to take advantage of them. I think you should get to know people really well and make sure they are honest in all of their doings.

I agree with the First quote, which was, “ To be trusted is a greater gift than to be loved”, because to trust someone is a lot more of a challenge than to be loved, because when you love someone you are supposed to overlook all of the bad stuff. Yet its a lot different when your trying to trust someone, if that person has screwed a lot of people over, your not going to be able to look over all that and trust them.
