Mouse Games - Summary

Okay, I’m really struggling with themes, even for the stories that establish a tenet  of the code. This one is for code three: ‘prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.’ And ‘ food ’ was the best I could come up with. If you have a better option, let me know in the comments. Here is the summary essay for the short story , Mouse Games from the guidebook , Code of the Clans . The main theme in the short story, Mouse Games is food. Resources are important for both individuals and groups. They need to be used carefully. No resource is more important than food. The main characters, Diftkit and Fallowkit take a mouse from the freshkill pile to play with. It is the last piece of freshkill, and their game makes it unfit to eat. Most of the Clan scolds the kits for this waste of food. This is the main focus of the story. Let me know what you thought of this one in the comments below, and do tell me if you enjoyed it.

Onestar's Confession Summary Paragraph

I have been going through the book Essay Writing Made Easy , and it suggested I try to write a single-paragraph summary of the last book I read. That’s the super edition of Onestar’s Confession .   One paragraph is hard, but I gave it a shot. I had to try and reword it to trim it down and take a little out. Anyway, the resulting summary paragraph is below. The book follows Onestar’s life from kithood, setting up and focusing on decisions he feels guilty about. He feels he fails a kittypet turned warrior friend, Brushpaw. He does not tell his Clanborn mate, that he had another mate once, a kitypet. When his kittypoet mate births his kit, he abandons them after promising to go back for them. All of this comes out at the end, showing how guilt can impact someone's life, and others' impression of them. Let me know how you think I did in the comments below. Did you like it? I’ll start again on my usual summary essays next week. Keep on reading. Alice B Hutley

Hunting Fish! - Summary

For those whove been keeping up with this blog , you know that I was looking forward to reading this short story again. I love the ones that show each of the tennants of the warrior code in practice after they’re established. Reading this one though, I realsied it’s really hard to pin down a theme. I think this will be a common occurence as so may of them rely on the story of the tennant being created. They’re dealing with that exact code and not an indiviual theme as such. I found something, though. I think it might come up a bit in the further short stories in this book supporting each tennant. We’ll have to see I guess. Here’s the summary essay for the short story Hunting Fish ! from the guidebook Code of the Clans . You can see what I came up with.
