In our world, we are often separated by ridiculous things. By our gender, the color of our skin, our religions. We can even be divided by who we love and how we choose to present ourselves. Despite all the little things that divide, there is one thing that everyone knows well: what it’s like to be a human being. According to the novel “Indian Horse” by Richard Wagamese, being human means living through bad experiences, and good ones. The main character Saul was known for going through both highs and lows during the book, staying true to what person’s life is like, whether they’ve gone through experiences similar to Saul’s or not. Furthermore, the novel also proves that humans cannot be perfect. Humans make mistakes! The purpose though, is to learn from each mistake made. That is the main source of Saul being a dynamic character: he learnt from his mistakes and eventually grew wiser. Wisdom, most of the time, is gained with age and experience. We are meant to share our wisdoms in hopes of others not making the same mistakes. Being human means knowing other’s perspectives. Everybody’s lives are meant to be “dynamic”. Humans are able to feel and because of this, they have the ability to change. Perhaps for the better, sometimes for the worst. Saul went experienced changing into both. In the darkest times of his life, he turned to alcohol and what seemed to be depression. He became less passionate about his hockey career. Towards the end of the novel though, he acknowledged his pain as an attempt to heal. This, I believe, can show us lots about the human condition.
