Essay On Watership Down

540 Words3 Pages

I have been reading Watership Down for a few weeks and it turned out to be about a lot of different things. Fiver is a small rabbit that can tell when things are going to happen and if they would be good or bad. He foresees great danger to the warren so he tells the Chief Rabbit, who doesn’t believe him. Hazel decides that the must leave the warren so he recruits two of his friends, Dandelion and Blackberry, and Pipkin, a friend of Fiver. The rabbits come to a field where they believe they can stay, but it is already inhabited by a group of rabbits, who let the travelers stay. They decide to leave and Strawberry goes with them. Hazel is badly injured and thought to be dead. Hazel and Blackberry travel to Efrafa to find some does. Meanwhile, Bigwig faces Woundwort in a battle, and defeats him.

If I had to pick a rabbit that I could relate to, I think i would be most like Blackberry. …show more content…

It has so much detail and is very nicely put together. I have never thought that rabbits would be so vicious. I thought that the book looked pretty boring when I saw it, but it turned out to be one of my favorite books. I didn’t like the part where Hazel almost died or when they were at the river in the beginning. My favorite part was when Fiver found out Hazel was alive. I also liked when Captain Holly came to Watership Down.

When I was was told to pick a part in the movie, I chose to watch the part of the movie where Captain Holly comes to Watership Down. It was very different from the book. When Captain Holly came to Watership Down in the book, the other rabbits found him at the bottom of the hill. In the movie, he ran in the warren to find Bigwig and the others. Also, when Holly was telling them what happened at the old warren in the book, he said that the men put poisonous gas in the warren so it would make the rabbits run out and die. In the movie, the men fill the holes with dirt so it will suffocate the

    The story and the characters really stood out to me. They really expressed themselves and the setting in the story was very cool to learn about. I enjoyed the pictures in the book because they guide the reader into the setting and the time period in the book. I recommend this book to people who are interested in learning about World War II and people who are interested in biographies and survival stories. One of my favorite quotes from the book was “A lifetime of glory is worth a moment of pain.”

    Another difference is that the book is much more gruesome than the movie. In the movie when Pawley sneaks out, Waller whips his back a few times. That is a very painful punishment but compared to the book it isn't that bad. In the book when Pawley didn't make it back in time Waller let the dogs have him.

    In the book Of Mice And Men, compared to the movie was a little different but also very similar. Something I was glad to see stay in the movie as well as the book was, the dream farm. One of my favorite parts from Of Mice And Men, was when Lennie got to pick out his puppy from Slim. A very sad part of the book and movie is when Lennie kills Curley 's wife, after that you just kind of know something bad is about to happen. Then, it happens and George finds Lennie and instead of the guys finding him and torturing him George makes a bold move and shoots Lennie.

  • Cheswick Book Vs Movie Analysis

    917 Words  | 4 Pages

    I believe that the reason the film version is so different from the novel version is because the producer did not envision it adapting well to screen play very well. Also if every detail in the book was put into the movie, it would be over 4 hours long to really capture it all. The producers knew they needed to keep their viewers attention somehow and playing a 4 hour movie with many lulls in it would have been a disaster. Instead they decided to take the biggest points in the book and place them back to back in order to keep the audience 's attention. There were many differences in the film from the book but three of the biggest ones are Cheswick’s death, the nurse with an imperfection and the point of view the movie was shot in compared to the book.

I must admit I am not a heavy reader, initially I was not excited but after I grooved myself into the book I found it it to be very entertaining. I enjoyed most aspects from The Boys In The Boat but the thing I liked most was the relationships between the characters. The characters were dedicated, persistent, and hard working.

    924 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of my favorite things about this book is that it is based on a true crime and at the end of the book there is the kid’s poem about Christopher which is very touching. The book had many good parts to it. The only thing I didn’t like about this is that it actually was based on a true story, and it’s sad to learn that the nice kid was murdered. Another favorite part of mine was when Doc, Hunger, Mildred, Squib and Hazel went on a mission to dump a barrel of animal poop on a guy’s car, which Doc and Hunger did all the work and they even dumped some inside the car. “Now, let’s shake it.

    I was disappointed with the movie because of how many things they changed. If they made the movie more similar to the book, it would’ve been much better. They tried too hard to make a good movie and they strayed away from the main points of the book. Something informative I learned from the book is how badly slaves were treated. They didn’t really show that in the movie.

This was taken place before the Civil War, when slavery was still legal. When Huck Finn and Jim meet, even though Jim is a slave, they connect immediately. Their friendship grows stronger and stronger as the novel continues, it got to the point where Jim was not only a friend, but a father figure to Huck.

    It was slightly confusing at times, and the plot would be somewhat boring at times. Most of the characters were developed well, but some characters were confusing and seemed all over the place. The conflict, however, was very true to life, as elephant poachers do exist, and it’s apparent that the author did her research. The ending was quite bittersweet, as Date Bed had died by the time the family found her, and makes the reader unsure whether the elephants did end up making it to the Safe Place after all. There is also a lot of in-depth analysis required to fully understand the book, else the reader may get quite lost in the plot.
