Answer 2

QUESTION:-

explain the lines "There was a pious stillness and humour in each of them which on the one hand delighted me and on the other frightened me."

ANSWER:-

• In the story "The Summer of the Beautiful, White Horse." written by William Saroyan the above lines meant that the narrator was both afraid and fascinated by the whole situation which resulted in him directing these words. Here, both the horse and Mourad were so quiet and steady that it was almost humorous. The narrator was similarly drawn to the horse and Mourad as he was frightened of the possible outcomes of his act.

• "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse" is a short story which is written by William Saroyan and was published within the collection My Name is Aram. It gives an account of the story of two boys named Aram and Mourad, who belong to a very low fictional tribe called the Garoghlanian tribe and it is an intriguing adventure story of two poor Armenian boys.
