Watership Down

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!!!
