Book Review of Clever Rabbit is the main character. The other characters are five wolves. Clever was surrounded by the wolves who wanted to eat him. He asked them if they wanted to his dance. The little wold was curious to see the ranbit ance The Rabbit sang the wolves danced with him until thet became dizzy. Clever Rabbit tricked them and run away.

The trickster character appears in many cultural mythologies across the world and across the span of time. Despite the individual personalities of a trickster being unique across time and cultures there are unchanging characteristics belonging only to tricksters, which still appear in our modern day media. A wonderful example of a modern day trickster, who has lived within our society for the past 85 years, would be Bugs Bunny. Bugs has undergone a few minor changes within his personality and outward appearance throughout his life, yet he is recognizable to the current three generations living within our society today. Bugs is a fearless, creative, and sassy individual who is able to break barriers, not only between generations but also

John Marsden’s and Shaun Tan’s epic picture book, “The Rabbits”, is an allegorical fable about colonisation, told from the perspective of the natives. An unseen narrator describes the coming of ‘rabbits’ in the most minimal detail, an encounter that is at first friendly and curious, but later darkens as it becomes apparent that the visitors are actually invaders. My chosen image (above), embodies the overall style of the book which is deliberately sparse and strange. Both text and image conveys an overall sense of bewilderment and anxiety as native numbat-like creatures witness the environmental devastation under the wheels of a strange new culture, represented by the rabbits.

Rabbit Proof Fence has been published both as a book and as a movie. Being a reader or a viewer entirely changes our point of view on the story. As a reader, we get descriptive insight on the situations and emotions of the characters. We are then able to re-create these visually using our imagination and have endless freedom doing so. As a viewer, our creativity is somewhat restricted. We do not imagine the characters’ physical appearance, the locations or the overall situations in the same way as in a book. These elements are already given to us. Throughout this essay I will be exploring how the music and the filming creates a contrast between reading the book with elaborate descriptions.

The book Watership Down by Richard Adams, is a story that was once told to his children and has been put into a novel. The book shows us the ups and downs during a journey of many rabbits. These rabbits talk in their own language and embark on a crazy journey to a new land. Sandleford is the current home of the rabbits and their journey will take them to Cowslips Warren, there part time home. We will focus on life in Sandleford, the life in Cowslips Warren and the individual rabbits who chose to go on this journey together.

Discuss the symbolism and motifs in the ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’. What do they represent and how do they contribute to the story?

I found both women stories remarkable so I decided to write about both. Did you know that a person could have ninty-two personalities? Well the first woman I am introducing is a remarkable story of someone who did. Her name is Truddi Chase. Truddi Chase was born on February 22,1935 near Rochester, NY. During the time of her childhood, she was physically and sexually abused. It makes me wonder if the abuse was the cause of her Multiple Personality Disorders. Sometimes tragic events lead people to lose themselves. In spite of everything, she seemed to have made it out alright. Truddi began an author. One of her books in particular was When Rabbit Howls. It was about her experiences with having multiple personalities. She also appeared on Oprah where she told her life's story. I find that inspring because not a lot of people can say that. Many people drown in their despair but she chose the latter.

This book tells the story about Rutherford Calhoun. He is a newly freed slave and finds himself in New Orleans. This is where he meets Isadora, a sweet and loving school teacher. She soon falls in love with him and wants to help him. She talks about marrying him and it scares him. He tells her that he will never get married. Rutherford meets Squib at a bar and learns that he is a cook on board a slave boat. He gets on board and they allow him to stay. The rest of the book tells the story of what it was like on board. The boat carries 40 Allmuseri tribes people from Africa who are treated poorly. Their culture is taken from them along with everything else. The slaves plan a revolt against the captain, and they gain control of the boat. Bad weather, destroyed the boat and everyone is thrown into the ocean. Rutherford and a few others are rescued by another ship. He soon find out the Isadora is on board. Because of his long journey at sea, he is a changed man. Isadora and Rutherford get back together, and live

The main protagonist in John Updike’s Rabbit, Run, Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, struggles at grappling with the responsibilities expected of him as an adult and losing his youth to a world who he believes greatly devalues it. Rabbit’s reckless sense of youth is what makes it so easy for him to float in and out of a sort of responsible consciousness; when you are young, little holds you down except your own self-control. Rabbit lacks this sort of grounded-ness, he spends much of his time floating above reality. Rabbit spends a majority of the novel bent on retaining his youth, on transcending his adult responsibilities and moving throughout the world at a pace that is only set by himself. His life revolves around no influences but his own, everything and everyone else is trivial or “other”. This concept of “othering” relates almost intrinsically to the concept of youth in regards to Rabbit; he alienates everyone he comes in contact with, ultimately creating tensions surrounding his own ability to have empathy for the “other”, a struggle which is constantly at

    The success of any group is determined by those who lead it. In Watership Down by Richard Adams, a band of rabbits leave their warren when one of them feels that danger is coming. They encounter several struggles before they settle down and create the Watership warren. An attempt to extract does from another warren called Efrafa starts a rivalry between the two groups, lead by Hazel and General Woundwort respectively. Hazel and Woundwort are two vastly different leaders.

The movie, Rabbit Proof Fence, directed by Phillip Noyce, tells the story about three young aboriginals girls’ name, Molly, Daisy, and Gracie, who were taken away from their families and homes to be brought up in white society. The girls are related; two sisters and a cousin. The story reveals the struggles the girls encounters while trying to run away from Moore River, which is a settlement camp where half-caste native (children with both white and Native parents) children are educated on how to live with white population. The girls are taught to become servants, and they are prohibited from using any other language but English. The settlement camp where these girls are held is far away from their home, which separates them from their

First of all, from lines 14 to 22, this paragraph with the anthropomorphic approach, it describes the city filled with night fog at dusk, giving a sense of decadence. Secondly, the author used anaesthetized patients to describe the sky, and the yellow mist like a lazy cat, showing his mood of hesitation and the distance between him and others; moreover, the weather caused by industrial pollution surrounded him to make him feel oppressed.

As we see Rabbit Angstrom struggle to keep apace with his given life, we are meant to see the social milieu that he lives in. Readers do get an acute sense of time and place, but what of it? Not that all fiction should strive for the Meaning of Life, but the feeling you get after reading 'Rabbit, Run' is that of caffeine rush which you know will fade. And it does.

The main aim of this paper is to analyse the theme of Tadpoles and For Heidi with Blue Hair through the images that are employed by Fleur Adcock. The main aim of the researcher is to analyse the different types of images used by the poet and how it helps the reader to understand the theme of the poems.
