I was particularly drawn to Lopez's remarks after he saw the horse. He says, "I was not eager to move. The moment I did I would be back in the flow of tirne, the horse no longer quivering in the same way before me." (501 part 2) This drew my attention the most because it really gave me (the reader) a sense of Lopez's emotions from the horse. This descriptive wording by Lopez really showed how in awe he was by the experience. He was in awe of something so old and rare out in the world. It was something so great that it froze time for him. His mind was frozen by the precious image that laid before him.
I think a reason that this particular part of the narrative grasped my attention was because I could correlate to Lopez's emotions. Something so rare and precious from people who lived where we did so long ago would be amazing to me as well. His description of his thoughts and emotions at that time is something that many people will relate to in some sense or another. His words description of his emotions really showed the importance of the horse to him. It made his passage stronger by letting the reader know how amazing the specatacle was he saw.
