In the story, Watership Down, the rabbits tell stories about a trickster rabbit named El-ahrairah and the rabbits have a parallel action between the stories. The story is about few rabbits who leave their warren because one of the rabbits feels that there is danger near them and they decide to go far away from their home. The rabbits tell stories at times when something big or bad is happening. The stories are all about a past rabbit, El-ahrairah who tricks other rabbits to do good things for his warren and to collect food. Many of the plans that the rabbits make are similar to the tricks that El-ahrairah does. In Watership Down, a rabbit named Dandelion tells stories about El-ahrairah and Hazel’s rabbits are influenced by the stories to make plans that relate to El-ahrairah’s tricks.

I have since heard the book and its message described as fascistic, provocative, irresponsible, unpalatable. This it may well be. Yet I found reading his book to be an amazingly sobering and dispiriting affair. One can really drink up the spirit of a man in reading his prose, and I fear Heinlein to be not someone with whom I want to share a beer or be friends. I read later that he was a career military officer who developed tuberculosis and was invalided out of the fleet to a literary career. There hangs about this book a severe and cynical air of wounded world-weariness, as if life is a dreary and dangerous affair requiring toughness and discipline to survive. He nearly models Sparta in his apotheosis of rigorous military training as

The love story between two different teenagers that come from completely different worlds is the most remarkable. The Notebook is about two young teenagers who fell head over heels with each other. They got separated by Allie’s upper-class parents who insist that Noah isn’t right for her. But that obstacle didn’t stop these two young lovers from being together even if it took years. This beautiful tale has a special meaning to an older gentleman who regularly reads the timeless love story to his aging wife to help her remember what they went through and that the story that he’s reading to her was their love story. The story he reads follows two young
