A Warren Like Watership Down

This is my first blog for my world literature class,

and hopefully I'll be able to get the hang of it. But

for now, I'm going to write about my first

independent reading book, Watership Down, by

Richard Adams. Its a fictional tale of a group of 

rabbits who set out to find a new warren, after

the destruction of their original warren is foretold

by Fiver. A young rabbit possessing oracular

powers.  Led by Hazel, Fivers brother, the rabbits 

cross unknown territories to find their dream home.

Away from man and predators alike.  But there's 

plenty of adventure and danger to be had. Rival

warrens, mans' traps, weasels and foxes, and more.

In the end, the rabbits have fought hard to defend 

their promised land on Watership Down, and succeed

in forging a new and perfect society of their own

I checked out this book this past Friday. And finished

it  the very next day. It was an interesting read, that

I was completely captivated with. Previously, I had

watched the animated movie very closely based on the

book. I watched it once again after finishing the book

to compared how close the movie followed the actual

storyline. I was not disappointed in this. As well as the

movie, I'd also watched the animated children's show

for Watership Down. While still fun and entertaining,

it turned out to be a sugar coated  retelling of Adam's

work.  A majority of the same events from the book

were involved, along with other twists, characters, and

events made to suit children. Nonetheless, I enjoyed

it. All three versions of this writing are very intriguing,

and i recommend the book to anyone.
