Significance
This book tells a tale of rabbits who take a big risk to save thier lives and start anew. Fiver is a rabbit with an uncanny knack for knowing when something bad is going to happen. Fiver has sensed that a very dangerous time aproaches for his warren (a village of rabbits basicly) and has warned all who will listen that they must leave as soon as possible or else they will all die.
Perspective
This book is told in the third person and will sometimes but rarely focus on a person other than Hazel(Main Charater)
Evidence
Not many people believe fiver at first but after steering the group clear from danger several times, they all trust fiver with thier lives.
Connection
Fiver was a young rabbit and was not very believeable at one point in time nobody believed something fiver said even after he had proven he could be trusted. He was right in the end and nobody doubted him ever after that. If some one has never steered you wrong before, why stop believing them?
Supposition
This is an amazing book and is too much to be described in one review. As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said, "Everyone who can read English should read it." I will admit that this book was a little had for me to get into at first, but once I was in it there was no getting me out of it. If you like adventure tales with animals as the main character, you must read this book!!!

Significance
This book is about four english childeren about to go to a boarding school, when they find themselves in Narnia, a land familiar to them, but different this time. It is about 1000 years since the last time Narnia has seen them and a lot has changed in that time.
Perspective
The entire story is always being told in the third person due to there being four main characters.
Evidence
Lucy thought she saw aslan at one point in time but nobody else did but she ended up being right anyway and this helps the other childeren to start believing her more often.
Connection
One of Prince Caspains best soldiers is a mouse. None of the enemy think that he is a threat and that is what gets them killed. Never underestimate someone because of hieght wieght or mussele, and look for friends in everyone not descriminating because of a lack in a certain area.
Supposition
This is the fourth book in a series of seven. If you don't read one of the first two books, this book will probably not make sense, but once you have been introduced to the Narnia series this is a really great book.

Perspective

Supposition
This story is absolutely hillarious and Douglas Adams created it just perfectly. If you like sci-fi and comedy this is the perfect book for you. It's sequals were fantastic as well. The restraunt at the end of the universe; Life, The universe and everything, So long and thanks for all the fish and, Mostly Harmless
