Personal Experience An Accident and a Cowboy, The Horse...

Prologue Some people might come up to me every now and then and ask me if I am alright now, and some who don’t know me ask what happened. They have heard about me on the news, but have not heard all the details. I am used to the constant questioning, though, as much of it has died off now. I have been counting, exactly four months since the day my life turned around. I am much better now. I actually am all better. My life is exactly the same as before the incident. I am still living with my family, I go to the same school, I still have all my pets, and most importantly I and my horse, Cowboy, are perfectly healthy again.

I saddled my horse up and, as I usually do, put a bucket and a water bottle on the side of the saddle, just in case I ever got lost. I thought I never would, but I strapped it on anyway. In the bucket was a couple of snacks for me and some snacks for Cowboy. I was even almost positive nothing would ever go wrong. But, was I wrong? I jumped on him and walked down the hill onto the road. Instead of turning right for the main road, I turned left, for some change. On the left side, it is more rural and open with many trees. There is not a lot of paved road. There are many houses, but once you get to a certain point, you wont see them anymore. As I was starting to ride, I saw a very tight and mysterious trail. I pulled Cowboy into the trail and I started to run him. To m y surprise, he bolted, faster than ever, and before I could pull the rein to stop him, he turned a turn I have never imagined or seen. I looked behind me, quivering with fear of where I was. I could still see some of the main road, where a car was passing at the time. I tightly turned him around, sure of myself I would get back to the mainroad. We started towards the main road, when Cowboy spooked.

With this in mind, we may ask ourselves why the impression of reality is so much more vivid in a film than it is in a photograph—as so many writers have observed, and as each of us may verify in his own experience. An answer immediately suggests itself: It is movement (one of the greatest differences, doubtless the greatest, between still photography and the movies) that produces the strong impression of reality.
