📖 Text Excerpt

Read the following passage from War Horse carefully before answering the questions.

"I cannot say that I looked forward to the war that was coming. Already I could see the change that the prospect of war had brought to the village. The men walked taller and were more serious than before. They talked in hushed, earnest tones on the village green. I watched my master, Albert's father, as he stood with the other farmers, and I could see the worry in his eyes. Albert himself seemed older somehow, as if the war had aged him before it had even begun. He would spend hours brushing me down and talking to me, telling me of his fears and his hopes."
