Write a compare and contrast essay about the three warrans

In Watership Down by Adams Richard, there are three different warrans Hazel and his rabbits go to. The first warran they meet on their flight from their endangered home is the warran of the snares. Rabbits there are given food daily by a human, but there are traps on the circumference of their warran they refuse to acknowledge. Upon leaving this warran, the rabbits start their own warran, one where living naturally and being kind reign. They soon discover the Efrafa warran, where the leader is cruel and overpowers the other rabbits. The three warrans repersent different forms of human government, all with different views about home and leadership. The rabbits in the warran of the

He is ruthless and belicose. Woundwort and the officers in his Owsla (strongest rabbits in a warren, the ruling clique.(Epilogue)) believe that home isn't about being happy or free, it's about being isolated from danger, no matter the cost. They abuse their rabbits, and control them completely. Technally, the rabbits in the Efrafan warran are safer than the ones in Hazel's warran or the warran of the snares, but they aren't in control of their own lives at all.

Granted, despite his cruel behaviour, General Woundwort keeps his rabbits safe. He severly punishes or kills them if they disobey him, but if you follow his rules, you are safe from all outside

They believe that home is a place where you can live naturally, and be free and safe. Hazel's rabbits faced many difficulties to get to Watership Down, where they built their new warran, but it was all worth it because they are free and happy. Bigwig, one of Hazel's rabbits, spends only a day in the Efrafan warran but is appaled and depressed by the lack of freedom there. He admires General Woundwort and respects his genuis, but is very wary of his temper and lack of humanity. The rabbits at Watership Down belive that a good leader is kind and cunning, and should listen to his teammates to decide what is best for all of them. Hazel is all of these. Many times he defeats the problem using his brain, and only fights as a last resort. Hazel doesn't make decisons by himself, but consults several rabbits before deciding on what to do. Hazel is a clever mix of a cunning and kind leader, and a strong and tough leader. Hazel leads his rabbits with a very democrate-like
