Warrior Cats Essays

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 ...

Flight from BloodClan had one of those moments I just love to see in Warriors : when a wild cat, including Clan cats , see that twolegs aren’t all bad.   ‘From the way he cradled her as they went back inside, I could tell he would take care of her. I don’t know why I felt so sure we could trust him, but I did.’ Pg 144-145.  Don’t get me wrong. I love reading about the cats living their lives away from twolegs. Scenes like this just give me a warm fuzzy feeling, and a part of me’s saying, ‘See, we’re just like you,’ or ‘We do care.’ What do you think of these scenes in Warriors ? Do you like them, dislike them, or not really feel either way strongly? It felt great to do this short story . For one thing, it’s one of the few times we get to see BloodClan , and the difference in their dynamic to the Clans is interesting to read about. Other than this, I only recall The Darkest Hour from The Prophecies Begin and The Rise of Scourge manga. The second is that writing the sum...

I don’t have much to say on this one. Not Just About Herbs is a sweet short story to me, but doesn’t bring up much thought. The only thing I can say is that I wish we could all be Leafpool : we find our passion , and get to pursue it as a career. Unfortunately, life is rarely so kind. Not much else so, here is the summary essay for Not Just About Herbs . The main theme in Not Just About Herbs is purpose. In life we find something that is important to us. We cannot imagine us not doing it, or working towards it. For each individual, this thing is their purpose.Leafpool knew she wanted to be a medicine cat when she was a kit. Her sister understands how important this is to her. Her experiences in this role are described with mingled amazement and seriousness, conveying the importance she gives this task to the reader. Someones purpose can be a hobby, job, or an interest, but it it is always important to the individual. The main character in the short story is the protagonist, Lea...

I've talked about what I think of the prophecies in the stories before . I've said how I know some people find them annoying because they are cryptic and don't seem to help the characters. I also said how I enjoyed trying to guess at their meaning myself. That's within the world of the stories themselves, though. I think I've finally cracked it. The prophecies are meant to be like this. They're cryptic, confusing, and sometimes aren't understood until they come to pass…because they're a metaphor for life experiences . I was thinking about how cryptic the prophecies are. This one was probably one of the ones you would be least likely to guess the answer to. The characters never guess the meaning, though. Do they even do anything? Wait. In the short story Before There is Peace, Blood Will Spill Blood, And The Lake Will Run Red Leafpool asks what could she do about it. The prophecies do affect them. The cats act in ways they probably wouldn'...
