Warrior Cats Essays

This is the last short story in the Warriors Field Guide: Secrets of the Clans. I immensely enjoy the legends of the great cats. They are some of my favourite short stories out of this guidebook. This particular short story is also one of the longer ones in the Warrior Cat guidebooks.  So, to satisfy our curiosity, let's dive into the final story from the original Warriors guidebook and see what depth it contains. I am delighted to be able to share this with you. The central theme in How LeopardClan Won The River is deceit. Some people use deceit to trick others into doing things they would otherwise not attempt. The fallout of the deceived actions can be a source of guilt, causing the deceiver to give up more than if they had been truthful. In the short story, the leaders of LionClan and TigerClan deceive by not mentioning Rage's mate, Fury, when telling Fleetfoot about the boar. Fleetfoot may not have tried to attack the boar if she had known. Because of their guilt, the le...

  Hey. I’m back.   I did put an update on my Patreon about why I haven’t been posting for so long, and there’ll be more information in my July Newsletter . The short answer is, due to health issues (and an error in a hospital’s system increasing wait times), I have been off my ADHD medication. That caused issues whenever I was doing activities alone, like writing and typing.   I seem to be well now, so my doctor and I will be seeing how things go. Posting might be a little up and down, but I’ll try to stay on track. This means I’m aiming for at least weekly updates to this blog again too! Australia has Medicare, so operations and doctor visits are affordable. But if you check out my Patreon in the sidebar, it would be much appreciated. The lowest tier is only $2, and gets you early access to blog posts among other things. Anyway, without any further ado, here’s the summary essay for the final short story from Secrets of the Clans , How TigerClan Got Their Stripes . ...

You've probably heard that a thesaurus is your greatest tool as a writer. It can stop you from using the same words too often. It can enhance the impact of your text be refining your meaning. It can also help you change the way your different characters speak from each other. You should, however, be careful with the synonyms you choose. If you choose the wrong one, you can completely change the meaning behind a line or paragraph. A good rule of thumb is to keep a dictionary handy along with your thesaurus to double-check any words you don't commonly use. Below I've started to rewrite the first book in the Warrior Cats series, Into The Wild, replacing every word with synonyms that exist in the Apple Dictionary. This can easily show the ridiculousness of going overboard with your thesaurus, especially when you aren't being mindful of the synonyms you choose (It's also fun to do!). Fighters The Predictions Start Into The Uknown Introduction Fifty per cent of a satellit...

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about My Only Hope. It's the story about Daisy leaving to find the Clans. In the books, this action brings the new role of a permanent queen to ThunderClan: someone who keeps the nursery reading for any new queens and helps them care for their kits. This is somewhat interesting, but she isn't a character I feel very engaged in in the main series. Her focus in this short story is actually more interesting.  You can tell by how young Daisy describes Floss's kits as being that they aren't going to a new home. When a series is focused on cats as the prominent 'people', it makes this awful to think of. It's not that big of a deal compared to some other short stories, though. Daisy's struggle isn't as interesting as most, and when you don't know Floss's kits at all, there are none of the feelings you get with almost every other death in Warriors. It has good points and does bring up emotions, but…yeah. I...

Stoneteller is the Healer of The Tribe of Rushing Water . He has the role of both a leader and medicine cat, neither of which he seems to be doing here. He’s the only one who can guide the Tribe , and he’s desperate. And this desperation is reflected in the rest of the Tribe . Whenever you’re in a role where others look to you for guidance you’ve got to be mindful of keeping emotions that are unhelpful in check. Desperate people make rash decisions or are completely devoid of any sort of energy to do anything. Sharptooth attacking the Tribe is bad, but I think Stoneteller’s state of mind is doing just as much harm to them. When those who look up to you sense strong emotions coming from you, they often reflect them. Their collective desperation is self-destructive here. Though maybe I’m being too hard on him. It is a terrifying situation, being stalked day and night. What do you guys think? The summary essay for The Coming of The Silver Cat is below. The main theme that The ...
