Question

Why was mourad considered mad by everyone?( The Summer of the beautiful White horse)

Answer 1

Hello friend,
- Mourad came to his cousin's house at 4:00 a.m., tapped on his cousin's  window, and woke up his cousin, just to boast that he stole a horse. "My cousin Mourad, who was considered  crazy by everybody who knew him except me, came to my house at four in the morning and woke me up by tapping on the window of my room." (p. 1)

- Mourad's insane obsession with horses eventually led him to a point where he actually stole a horse. "It was true, then. Hehad  stolen the horse." (p. 3)

-  Mourad sings at random events. "My cousin Mourad, who was considered one off the craziest members of our family, began to sing. I mean, he began to roar." (p. 3)

- The author constantly states throughout the book that the majority of the people that knew Mourad thought that he was ludicrous. "Every family has a crazy streak in it somewhere, and my cousin Mourad was considered the natural inheritor of the crazy streak  in our tribe." (p.  3)

- He was caught talking with a bird. "He was sitting under a peach tree, repairing the hurt wing of a young robin, which could not fly. He was talking to the bird." (p. 8)
