Monologue Of Fiver And Blackberry
Hazel, an outskirter at sandleford warren, with his brother, Fiver, went to go graze and came across a notice board, Fiver, being the psychic bunny he is, recieves a sign from frith himself, telling him that the warren is no longer a safe place and they must leave, quick. Hazel, knowing Fiver can’t take it being here, gathers up a gang of rabbits to up and leave, at first, it was quite easy going, until they made it to the enborne river, Bigwig or “Thlayli”, believes that the smaller rabbits should swim across like everyone else, Blackberry, knowing they can’t, comes up with the brilliant idea to float them across on a piece of floating wood. They keep going, morale low, finally make it to a beautiful field, even though it is not the place they were supposed to go, they stay, and meet another rabbit, Cowslip, and temporarily join his warren warren, unknowing of the danger hidden around the warren. Bigwig, thought dead because he was caught in a snare, aroused to find that when Fiver and a few others who went to get help, were ignored by Cowslip, and Bigwig …show more content…
The reason I think Blackberry is problem solving and smart ideas, Blackberry came up with the idea to use the piece of floating wood to get Fiver and Pipkin across the river. While one time, when me and my sister needed to get up a steep hill, I noticed a fallen tree that we could use as a ladder to get up. The reason I think I’m like Fiver is because it almost seems like I can tell something bad is going to happen, such as the time when there was a thunderstorm at my aunt’s house and i didn’t want her to go outside because of how bad the lightning was, and since I delayed her, it took her longer to get outside and right before she made it out, a large branch fell right in front of the door. Such as when Fiver knew something bad was going to happen to Hazel if he went to Nuthanger Farm To Get Haystack, Box Wood, Clover, and

    On an early weekday morning after Christmas, many inches of new snow had fallen. Seven-year old Annie Dillard met the boys’ ages eight, nine, and ten in front of her house on Lloyd Street, where they had snow nearly to the top of their boots. The two oldest boys were Mikey and Peter Fahey who lived near Dillard on Llyod Street. The tough kid Chickie Mc Bride was there and Billy, Paul, and Mackie Kean too from across Reynolds Street were the boys grew up. The group of kids wandered around their neighborhood looking for action, when they had found it on Reynolds Street. It was a chilly day that wintery morning with clouds afloat in the sky. As the cars drove down Reynolds Street, you could hear them coming from afar, by the clanking of the chains on their tires. As the cars drove past, the chains on the tires left different grove patterns through the fresh snow. Dillard and the boys began making perfectly shaped…

    Sandleford warren is the first location presented in the story. An Owsla, or group of strong and clever rabbits exercising the Chief Rabbit 's authority, governs the warren. The Owsla is rather military in character. When one of the rabbits, Fiver, comes across some prized Cowslip, the Owsla hurry over to confiscate it for themselves, saying, "Cowslips are for Owsla- don 't you know that? If you don 't, we can easily teach you" (Adams 14). The Chief Rabbit of Sandleford, Threarah, gained his position by strength, level-headedness, and a certain self-contained detachment. He resisted all ideas of mass emigration and enforced the complete isolation of the warren. The rabbits leave their warren in search of a new home not only because they believe Fiver when he tells them that something bad will happen to the warren, but also because the think they can make a better home somewhere else (Adams 24).…

He feels an attraction to blackberries such as with taste, touch, and appearance. That notion is supported throughout the poem. For example, line 7 states the following: "Lifting the stalks to my mouth, the ripest berries," illustrating his love for the taste of delectable fruits.…

    Although Rowena was very ill at a very young age, she managed to have happiness in her life because of animals that has helped her push through the tough times in her life and to help forget about her illness as the author states, “Why do the rabbits have to be killed? Because they were hers.” (Findley 17). This represents how animals throughout the novel had a significance influence on the characters especially Robert and Rowena and the relationship between them. While in Lethbridge, the BSM (Battery Sergeant Major) orders Robert that he must shoot the horse, where another innocent life is taken. He is scared as he “stood there with his trousers open leaning in above the toilet with his hand against the bulkhead. Nothing happened. His bladder, like his mouth, dried up” (Findley 64), shows how he was unable to urinate due to being too afraid. Robert is very anxious and struggles to aim at the horse, “Jesus; for Christ’s sake die. I need more light, he said. He was shaking; his voice of full anger” (Findley 68). As Robert kills the horse, he has an image of a falling chair reminding him of Rowena’s death. This affects Robert in the war where mistakes cannot be made, especially on the battlefield. In one of the scenes in the novel, Robert encounters a coyote in a valley where it start drinking water from the pond. It then turns directly to Robert, acknowledging him then entire time. This clearly proves the type of relationship Robert has with animals, as he is able to somewhat communicate with them. Most animals would rush towards a human being once seeing them in their sight. Roberts connection with animals throughout the novel is a key representation and how animals have impacted him positively and negatively. Each of the animals he encounters always reminds him of leaving home and how the death of sister was the sole reason he decided to enlist to…

    In To A Mouse, the poet Robert Burns sympathizes with the mouse, looking at the mouse’s plans, similar to a humans. The mouse had been collecting its nest for months, but taking just one blow to be shattered, much like a human’s dreams. The dreams take much preparing, but in the end, they too can ultimately shatter in one ‘blow’. This is what happens with Lennie and George’s dreams of owning their own land. “An live off the fatta lan’,” Lennie shouted “An’ have rabbits. Go on, George! Tell about what we’re gonna have in the garden and about the rabbits in the cages and about the rain in the winter and the stove, and how thick the cream is on the milk like you can hardly cut it. Tell about that George!”(p.14) ” Their dream was particularly simple, acquire a mere few acres of land and live there, contently for the rest of their lives. Eventually, like the mouse’s home, their dream was shattered all with one ‘blow’.…

    Every animal was happy to let the Terrible Things take the others, as long as it wasn’t them. “‘We don’t have feathers,’ the frogs said. ‘Nor we,’ said the squirrels. ‘Nor we,’ said the porcupines’” (Bunting 13-15). The other animals happily gave the Terribles Things what they wanted because it meant they themselves wouldn’t be taken. To justify the heartless betrayal of their fellow forest creatures, they made up excuses like “those birds were always noisy” (Bunting 26) or “those squirrels were greedy” (Bunting 48). Their willingness to give up their friends and keep quiet in order to save themselves was produced from the fear that if they were to protest, they would be the ones who would be captured. Each time the Terrible Things came back for more, the others readily handed them over without complaint or question. “‘We mustn’t ask,’ Big Rabbit said. ‘The Terrible Things don’t need a reason. Just be glad it wasn’t us they wanted” (Bunting 31-32). Through the animals’ submission to the Terrible Things and their requests, the animals were giving up their personal rights. Little Rabbit spoke up and questioned what the Terrible Things were doing and how it was fair, but he didn’t take executive action. Big Rabbit convinced Little Rabbit that there was nothing that they could do. “This time Little Rabbit didn’t ask why. By now he knew that the Terrible Things didn’t need a reason” (Bunting 89-90). Not speaking up and remaining docile for so long made Little Rabbit acquire the quality of learned helplessness. Stopping what the Terrible Things are doing is out of his control. “When they had all gone, Little Rabbit crept into the middle of the empty clearing. ‘I should have tried to help the other rabbits,’ he thought. ‘If only we creatures had stuck together, it could have been different’” (Bunting 112-114). When Little Rabbit is all alone, he realizes that if he and his…

    When Rainsford falls from the boat Connell describes Rainsford’s primal attempt for survival in animalistic terms stating that he “Doggedly… swam in that direction [of the Island] …with slow deliberate strokes” (Connell,3). Rainsford did not swim mechanically, nor artistically or even in a human fashion, in his desperation, he swam like a dog. Connell, by describing Rainsford’s swimming as dogged, shows that in dire circumstances, even the most rational and trained person, here characterized by Rainsford, resorts to animalistic behavior. This assertion becomes even stronger as the story goes on, when Zaroff finds Rainsford for the first time “The Cossack was the cat; [Rainsford] was the mouse. Then it was that Rainsford knew the full meaning of terror” (Connell, 12). Striving to survive, Rainsford thought of himself as a cornered animal, and behaved accordingly, he shows that once man is no longer the hunter but the hunted that we act just like prey by hiding, fleeing or scrambling away from our predator. Finishing his story with what he started, Connell shows that humans, just like jaguars “understand one thing--fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death."(Connel,1). One of the only consistencies we see in humans, is the fact that we will all fight or fly in due to fear. Rainsford, as the personification of humanity, fled his predator, which shows us that we truly…
