I managed to get the Newsletter up, before ten. I’d already committed to staying up to get more done though. It was basically a speed run of everything tonight.

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. The main theme in the short story, Hunting Fish!, from the guidebook Code of the Clans is nature. Nature refers to the traits or apptitudes for skills a person is born with.

Finders Keepers - Summary

I’m enjoying reviewing the reasons for the warrior code again. And the next short story in this book after this one is one of the ones that shows a code in practice. Those ones are always a fun read. I got a fair bit done today too, so this post should be up very early. If you’re a paid member , you would have access the moment it went up. Here is the summary essay for the short story Finders Keepers , from the guidebook Code of the Clans . The main theme in the short story, Finders Keepers, is seperation. It looks maily at the borders between the Clans. There is a dipute over when they can be crossed. StarClan shows that the Clans are always seperate, evern when right next to each other.

Finders Keepers, from the guidebook Code of the Clans, is told from the point of view of Stonesta...

Belonging Essay

Oh, wow. That took a while. Next time I write a full essay , I’ll need to make sure I’m almost a whole week ahead. Maybe more, depending on the texts. If you appreciate the fact that I stayed up to finish this, please let me know in the comments. Anyway. One of the texts was one I wanted to use in Year 12 for my belonging essay assessment, but as it was part of a series, the teacher was worried I wouldn’t be able to separate it from the other books. Hollyleaf’s Story has a lot of information from the rest of the series in flashbacks, but I’m not looking at more than what is mentioned in those flashbacks and in the present. So, below is my first draft of my thesis essay on belonging . Having a sense of belonging is important for many reasons, including mental health and self-image. There are many things that can impact one’s sense of belonging, however. If a person cannot find a sense of belonging in their day-to-day or current environment, they may seek it elsewhere. They will ...

The Dawn of The Clans - Summary Essay

  Okay, so I’d written part of this essay before my break. I finished it last week.   Unfortunately, I was a little ill on Sunday and Monday. I’m getting this blog up this week, and hopefully can start on next week’s post too.   I’ve got a slightly longer essay planned for next week. It’ll be a full one rather than a summary essay . I will definitely need to put in some solid time to get it ready on time. Anyway, I’m glad to finally have this essay finished. And hooray! We’re onto Code of the Clans for our short stories now. I hope you are enjoying these again, and if you are, please leave a comment. It really motivates me. The main theme of the short story The Dawn of The Clans is chaos. The chaos in the story is created by a lack of borders, which is fine for a few cats, but remains the case when cats keep coming into the woodland, as it’s ‘good territory for the cats.’ pg 1. Scarcity of prey means chaos leads to large battles. One battle seems to include all ...
