When this act had been done, the other rabbits had a new admiration of Hazel. This new admiration was brought upon, when he had to choose to leave injured rabbits behind he refused and thought of idea to help them across, Hazel has shown himself as a competent, caring, and wise leader.

Hazel and his group decided to leave after Bigwig got caught in a wire. The man would feed the rabbits so they would become big and healthy; then the man would kill them. After many days of travel, Hazel and the others came to Watership Down, which was an excellent place for a warren. The soil was perfect, and enemies could be spotted from many miles away. Here they dug a burrows where the rabbits were happy.

The sparrows and the Guerrilla Union of Shrews had more than enough animals to defeat the rats. Cluny had mortally wounded Abbot Mortimor and he was dying.

All of those things happened and Matthias and Cornflower had a baby named Mattimeo. Kevin Frasier 4/17/05

Because of their connection to man, Richard Adams exposes animals like cats and dogs, which are man’s possessions, in a distasteful way. All in all, Richard Adams has a very negative view when it comes to man: human development and their creatures.

The title of this book is Watership Down, and it was written by Richard Adams. The story is about a group of rabbits who run away from their warren, or their pack, after learning that their lives were in danger. These rabbits listen to the forewarning of one inferior rabbit with big powers, this rabbit can predict the future. After hearing the forewarning of the aforementioned rabbit, Fiver, the group runs away from their warren, with Fiver’s brother, Hazel, as their chief on a perilous journey. As they went on this journey a major theme through the book was deception.

Hazel who is Fiver's slightly larger brother leads the pack of rabbits into a field where he believes they can live. When they get there they find out that there is already a group of rabbits living there but they let the travelers stay with them. Fiver being the smart one again warns them not to join the new warren, but once again no one listens to them again. Discovering they need more female rabbits to mate with. Two of the survivors at the warren tell of the horrible poisoning occurring out there.

Adams gives an account of their flight from their comfort zone, to desperate measures, in which includes a rabbit habitat that is infested with rabbit traps. During these times, Dandelion, who is the swiftest rabbit out of pack, is often cued to provide inspiration for his fellow bunnies with stories about El-ahrairah, who is the rabbits' prototypical figure.

Lewis gambled his life and the lives of his crew for the United States when he explored western North America. The explorers experienced not only bad weather but also attacks from Indians. Although taking these risks was very dangerous, had they not be taken western North America may have never been discovered, and all of the rabbits on Watership Down would have died at Sandleford. Hazel led the rabbits of Watership Down to become allies with other animals, much like Lewis became friends with Touissant Charbonneau and his wife Sacagawea. The first animal that Hazel became friends with was a small mouse.
