The Red Pony

Gitano's tragedy is that he is without a home and unwelcome in the place where he was born. From the text, we can infer that when he left the ranch, he did so to take his own life. His life, and the life of the old unwanted horse, Easter. In Easter, the old man sees something that he also sees in himself...... the tragedy of becoming old and useless.

As for the second part of your question...... chapter or section please?
