Hazel has a strong identity in the story, she has much self-confidence and is not afraid of letting everyone know that she is the best, “Now some people like to act like things come easy to them, won’t let on that they practice. Not me. I’ll high-prance down 34th street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong even if it does get my mother uptight.” p. 1 ll. 29-31. Thus her strong and proud personality, she still loves and protects Raymond and is not afraid of showing this either. At the end of the story Hazel’s view on other people changes, when she sees Raymond running parallel with her at the May Day race in his own unique style. She realizes that everyone is not just who she sees them to be, that there are more to people than you can

In the novel Watership Down by Richard Adams, the lapine vocabulary is used as the language between the rabbits. For instance the word Flayrah is used to mean unusually good for, e.g. lettuce. This is important to the plot because it plays into what the rabbits will do for Flayrah. Also it differentiates between food that is mediocre and food that’s worth venturing into human land and fighting for. “Well, the man's gone by and Cowslip and I thought the flayrah ought not to lie about for long.

As hopeful and notable Hazels advancements in the warren are, Hazel has companions to assist him to become a better leader. All the previous chief rabbits in Watership Down were unfriendly and unfair, but with the navigation of his comrades, Hazel does his best to provide a more inclusive environment for the other rabbits in the warren. Hazel realizes that Holly possesses knowledge, experience and instincts that will be valuable on the rabbits’ long journey to Efrafra and he admits this by saying, “’I’m not the right fellow anyway -- Holly is’” (Adams 195). Hazel shows a considerable amount of faith in Holly by allowing him to lead the group on the adventure to Efrafra. His act of handing over the reins and letting Holly have so much control, shows that Hazel wants the best for the group and displays his forward-looking ideals. Hazel knows and trusts Fiver more than anyone

Hazel grace is a dynamic character because she changes throughout the story. In the beginning, Hazel doesn’t want to get close to Augustus, because she was afraid he is going to be shattered when she dies. But towards the ending, hazel finds out it doesn’t matter if you die in the middle of a relationship, it’s about the moments you spend together. A quote in the book, on page 214, “Only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn’t unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn’t want to.”

This goes on for a while and animals keep going away and little rabbit keeps questioning it. But soon, all the animals there were gone, taken away by the Terrible Things. All except the white rabbits. And when the Terrible Things get the rabbits, little rabbit hid and soon ran off to tell other animals in the forest about the Terrible Things. When the Terrible Things were taking away the groups of animals,the other groups did nothing to stop it.

First of all, Hazel’s rabbits are influenced by a “disguise plan” that E-ahrairah uses to steal the lettuce from the king and the rabbits includes it into a plan that the rabbits make in the Efrafa warren. In the Efrafa warren, Bigwig disguises as another rabbit to get into

The depiction of Hazel's Essex parallels to Hazel's distraught state: he progressing in finding himself but not without a difficult struggle. On the first drive after

This means that if the move was a bad decision he could possibly lose his power. Threarah is willing to risk the lives of his entire warren to safely retain power; he is so caught up in being power hungry that Fiver’s vision eventually becomes true and the whole warren is killed. As our first example of a power-crazy leader, this quickly shows the reader the social hierarchy of the rabbits as well as the extent they’re willing to do to maintain it. The next chief rabbit that leads in his own interest is Woundwort, chief rabbit of the Efrafa warren. After having both of his parents killed at an early age, Woundwort constructed this warren to stay under the radar from any human contact.

“To be honest, I don’t know, Mr. Lawrence. All these stuffed rabbits suddenly gone overnight.” I had been called over with other residents of the neighborhood around the pier, who were at risk of also being harmed. Early that morning, the police had found the storage room suddenly void of the many stuffed rabbits it had possessed the previous day.

Both Hazel and General Woundwort have contrasting ways of taking on their role as a leader. Part way through the book, Hazel and his companions are going on a long journey from their old warren. They are trying to get to open fields that they can rest and settle into for a little while. Most of the rabbits have become tired and discouraged, including Hazel. Hazel is trying to keep his friends going, including one named Hlao-roo that they call Pipkin. Hazel begins to lose hope as the journey seems to go endlessly. Hazel’s exhaustion is shown in the book when the author explains, “‘Not far now, Hlao-roo, not far now,’ he kept muttering, until he realized that what he said had become meaningless, a mere refrain”(56). However, something none of them expected happens; they came upon the fields they were searching for. From this discovering, Blackberry says,

“There isn’t any danger here, at this moment. but it’s coming-it’s coming Oh hazel look! The field! It’s covered with blood!” (Adams 21). Fiver being the groups clairvoyant advises hazel throughout his journey until death. Some rabbits may have been sceptical of his ability but hazel always believed, Leading them out of the warren to their destination. Fiver, in his stature changes much more than other rabbits causing his inquisitive but sinister outlook, his whole way he acts is a physical representation of humanity.

At the beginning of the story Hazel mentions that his brother Fiver “can often tell when there’s anything bad about, and [he has] found him right again and again,” (Adams 11), but it isn’t until about halfway through the book when they realize that Fiver is reliably predicting what is to come. There is a moment when right before the rabbits from Sandleford warren enter into

Hazel throughout the story shows immense leadership by being compassionate and caring, and always doing what's best for the rabbits and their well being. Early in the story, Hazel noticed and kept watch on a smaller rabbit named Pipkin. Pipkin was one of the smallest rabbits in the Sandleford warren and became very scared easily. Going with Fiver and Hazel was a tough decision for him because he knew he was small and it would be tough for him to keep up. Hazel mentored and helped Pipkin throughout the the journey and gave Pipkin hope. Through Hazel’s compassion and mentorship, he was able to encourage others to persevere through the tough times.
