Watership Down Conclusion
In Watership Down, a group of rabbits consisting of ,Hazel, Fiver, and their companions travel away in the search of a new warren. On their journey, Hazel and the rabbits he brought went through many troubles including, crossing a river and Cowslip’s warren, a warren that was surrounded by snares, until they reach the down. Though they had found their home they wouldn’t keep it for long if they didn’t find does. Kehaar, a gull they found at the down, told them how to find does. They traveled to a farm and Efrafa,a warren with a controlling dictator,getting does from both.They got home, but the general, Woundwort, was after them. In the end Woundwort was attacked by a dog, but they never found his body, and it ended happily. Watership Down had many characters mentioned, but I am most like Blackberry. Blackberry and I have many common traits, we are creative, loyal, calm, and always thinking on our feet. here are some other examples why Blackberry and I are alike. When crossing the river, Blackberry pushed …show more content…
These parts in the story is what I like. In the end the rabbits had a place to live for years to come. It had no harm from humans and there was plenty of food. Also, Kehaar got to go back to his home after helping the rabbits. Although there were many good things these are parts I didn’t like. When Bigwig almost dies in a snare at Cowslip’s warren. I also didn’t like when Cowslip’s rabbits attacked Captain Holly and Bluebell. Many parts were good and some bad, but the book was amazing.
Bigwig is an important character in the novel. He is strong, loyal, but doesn’t always listen. I can compare him to another character from a television show. Kai, from the show LEGO Ninjago; Masters of Spinjitzu. They both have done things that prove them alike. In the novel, Bigwig runs out and distracts the fox without Hazel’s consent. In Ninjago, Kai runs off without his leader’s consent. Kai and Bigwig are very

    I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the characters, especially Harlen Bigbear. Harlen came across as a sort of ‘trickster', but a likable one. He was gentle, caring, and harmless in his own right. Will, the protagonist, was very likable as well. However, his character only evolved for me as a result of Harlen's unconditional and relentless friendship with him. In short, Will's character would've lacked without the likeness of a Harlen Bigbear. The character naming was also very ingenious. The Oldpersons, Prettywomans, baby South Wing, and others…

    In 1988 Taylor Branch produced a mammoth first volume of a trilogy on the American Civil Rights Movement. Branch hoped to capture the essence of the movement through who he believed to be the epitome of the movement itself— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Branch’s stated purpose in writing Parting the Waters is quite clear. He says on page xii “My purpose is to write a history of the civil rights movement out of the conviction from which it was made, namely that truth requires a maximum effort to see through the eyes of strangers, foreigners, and enemies. I hope to sustain my thesis that King’s life is the best and most important metaphor for American history in the watershed postwar years.”…

    In the speech delivered at the Harvard Book Store Nicholas Carr, an American writer interested mainly in technology and business, presented his new book “The Shallows. What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains”. The writer explained also the main thesis of his work, which seems to be the following: Using the Internet has an impact on our brain and the way it is functioning. His arguments, not against the Internet in general, but against overusing it, are the result of his personal experience as well as the scientific studies on the topic.…

    I am Miranda Baker, however I’m like no one. I have a hard time relating to anyone, I’m quite a unique person. If I had to choose a character to relate to, I would relate to Doodle’s older brother from The Scarlet Ibis.

    I think this book was one of the best books I have read. It’s funny, has action, and is serious at moments. It was written really well and kept me entertained the whole time reading it. The only thing I would change is at the end of the book it ends to fast and doesn’t really explain everything I was thinking of. Other than that it was an awesome book.…

    Have you ever found a character, maybe in a tv show, or book, that you can relate to the most (especially by a landslide)? Some people could say yes to the moon and back, while some people have never related that much to a character in their life. For me, I’m more of the former, and I found a character to relate to in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; Scout Finch. To explain, Scout and I take longer than others to understand things, which could cause frustration in others (mainly peers), and we’re both put under at least some pressure to be more “lady-like”. There’s other similarities too, but they’re either not as significant or I couldn’t find as much quotes to support them.…

    Not being seen is also another one of his fears throughout the duration of the novel. At many points during the novel he is called “Mike” instead of his correct name; Bryant also cites Crites’ analysis of the importance of names. Without calling Bigger by his proper name, his identity is disregarded, because his name is a reflection of himself (264-265). This is just one of the many factors that drove Bigger to turning his fear and hurt feelings into violence against everyone and what made him become a…

    They had just been through some adventures and challenges, a few of them very dangerous and almost life threatening, to bring back some does to their warren to complete their new home. Their warren finally had both bucks and does and they were all living comfortably together. They were even expecting a litter or two soon. They couldn't have asked for anything more. "The Story of Rowsby Woof and the Fairy Wogdog" was about how El-ahrairah was able to trick Rowsby Woof, the dog, to leave his master's house so that El-ahrairah could sneak into his home to eat the lettuces his master had brought inside to thaw out. This story was told to the rabbits just in time because General Woundwort and some of his Owsla rabbits had come for revenge. General Woundwort was from the Erfrafa warren where Hazel had taken the does. General Woundwort was not happy at all; he wanted to have all the does returned, along with Big Wig who tricked them, and Blackavar who escaped with the does. "The Story of Rowsby Woof and the Fairy Wogdog" reminded Hazel that they also had a dog, at Nuthanger Farm, nearby that they could trick to benefit them. Hazel, Dandelion, and Blackberry risk their lives leaving the warren that had been surrounded by General Woundwort and his Owsla rabbits to trick the dog to follow them back to…
