Watership Down Analysis

Hazel’s lack of stature led to his hlessil wondering whether or not he was in charge at times. Bigwig often assumed lesser leadership positions and possibly could have declared himself the warren leader since there was no rabbit of comparable size in their traveling warren. He had certain qualities that all the rabbits looked up to, particularly size, strength, and former experience in an owsla. Oddly, Hazel never really challenged any rabbits asking if Bigwig was their leader when they brought the idea up. Had Claudius been presented with a similar situation in the human world, he probably would have secretly murdering even seeming slightly mutinous. Hazel just let the idea die out possibly because he knew the rabbits relied on him so much. It was most likely that Hazel was able to deduce that Bigwig did not want to become the chief rabbit since he enjoyed being part of the scouting parties and other similar owsla

He is also always up for a risk even if it means that he is risking himself but he will not let others get harmed or left behind. He is always going to be confident by going someplace where he doesn't know what he is going to find. They left the original warren because Fiver says he can see into the future, he says something bad is going to happen soon so a couple of the rabbits leave and they gather more rabbits along the way. “‘Fiver and I will be leaving the warren tonight,’ he said deliberately. ‘I don't know exactly where we shall go, but we’ll take anyone who is willing to come with us’” (page 14). Hazel is strong and brave and is willing to go anywhere to help his friends from not being harmed by anything that they may come across. Being brave really helps the leader be a better leader than they already are because they are confident enough to do what is needed although it may scare them. Although Hazel got injured because of the men that came to kill and hurt the rabbits, he still powered through the pain and was a great leader even while he was hurt. Hazel was strong even when he go hurt from running away from the men and falling into a hole that he couldn't get out of. When Hazel was missing because he was in the woods and injured his friends were looking for him because they need him around for them to be safe. Hazel is great at doing what is needed like finding food to survive and helping others get where they need to be. Hazel is always super supportive, for example when they were at the new warren one day the went outside and they found an injured bird and Hazel demanded that they help him and make him get better. Hazel told all of the other rabbits to find food for the bird Kehaar. “‘I believe it's starving,’ said Hazel. ‘We'd better feed it. Bigwig, go and get some worms or something. There's a good fellow’” (page 181) Hazel is being a leader here because he is telling Bigwig to go

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

The short story The Boat by Alistair MacLeod is narrated by a man who comes from a fishing family. His mother’s side of the family has forever lived and worked by the sea and continues this tradition. The narrator’s father always wanted to be an academic, but worked by the sea to support his family. The parents’ characters seem to clash in many aspect of their lives and this is very evident in the passage.

Hazel and General Woundwort are contrastive leaders because they acquire power differently. Hazel assumes power through respect. He earns the respect of the rabbits in his warren, lending them to establish Hazel as leader. The respect of the warren is earned when Hazel leads the rabbits across the common, even while they are all exhausted. The rabbits are so impressed, Blackberry says “Oh, Hazel...you're what I call a Chief Rabbit!” (57). The Chief Rabbit is the leader of the warren. This title often belongs to the strongest of the rabbits, but Hazel is not

In the short story, “The Boat” by Alistair Macleod, symbolism is used to represent an abstract idea. The boat, being a major symbol of the story was the way of life for the family. As the story goes on, the boat starts to make the family feel confined giving them a choice to leave or stay with the boat. There were symbols that impacted the story that had connection towards the boat. Chain bracelets, the father’s clothes, the books that the father read are all symbols that tied to the boat. The father's chain bracelets and clothes represent the father feeling trapped as a fisherman since he never changes out of them. We find out more about the characters and their personal connection with the boat and the other symbols and what it means to them. The family starts to fall apart due to the kids learning about the father’s books leading to them moving away from home. Symbolism is used when one thing is meant to represent something else adding meaning and emotion to the story which is well represented throughout the story.

leaders is how each character uses a different method and style of leadership. As a leader Hazel uses rabbits strengths to accomplish goals. Hazel looks for a group to send to Efrafa, even though he wants to go but decides to send Holly instead because he is more fit for the job. Hazel tells the group, “I knew you wouldn’t let me go. I’m not the right fellow anyway-Holly is. He knows everything about moving in the open and he’ll be able to talk when he gets there”(195). This shows Hazel is willing to sacrifice what he wants for the best interest of the warren. General Woundwort in contrast, is obsessed with power and keeps his warren on lockdown at all times.

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

In society, there are often people who acquire strong leadership qualities and understand what it means to be a favorable leader. Other times, there are people who have strong qualities to lead, but they do not understand how to be a favorable leader and create a safe and comfortable environment for those following them. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the characters of Ralph and Jack arise as two different leaders who bear strong characteristics and they both seek power on the island. The boys become leaders in their own ways, creating individual environments that prioritize different matters, all while trying to work towards their rescue off the island.

Watership Down, by Richard Adams, tells a story from the view point of a herd of rabbits.

He reaches his objective, though he is shot. To be the ideal chief, one must be confident in oneself and in one’s warren like El-ahrairah, as Hazel becomes throughout the

Throughout history, there have been many systems of government that have been created, and have revolutionised todays modern forms of government. Democracy, Monarchy, Dictatorship, Theocracy, and Anarchy all use various, unique techniques on how to run a civilization. Each of them require different leadership traits in order for it to work properly.

A good leader is someone who cares about everyone. They are loyal, and listens to everyone’s ideas. They are smart, strong, and can make tough decisions. A good leader could fight, but a better leader can choose not to. In the Lord of the Flies, a novel by William Golding, is about a boy named Ralph who wanted to get rescued and made leadership choices based on that, but another boy named Jack who prevented rescue by splitting the group up and turning survival into a game. Ralph and Jack were meant to be in the same novel because Golding wanted to show how the wrong leadership can go wrong, and on what leader you follow can be an effect on how you survive.
