Warrior Cats Essays

It took me a while to prepare this for posting. Sorry about that, guys. I really like this story. I like all the mythologies about the great cats , actually, but this one and the idea of tigers having stripes from shadows are really good. The main theme in How Snakes Came to The Forest is understanding your enemy. Many people know that understanding their enemy will help them to win a fight against them. Some people may forget or disregard what they know through overconfidence in their skills. No matter how good your natural skills are, you should never underestimate your enemy. Sunpelt already knew ‘snakes are cunning and will outwit us every time’, but believed his abilities would allow him to subdue Mouthclaw. She ends up tricking him with a wish she grants in return for her life. The main character in this short story, from Warriors Field Guide: Secrets of the Clans , is the protagonist, Sunpelt. Sunpelt is introduced to the reader in the first sentence of the first paragraph o...

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...

Sorry for disappearing with no warning for a few months. I don’t really have an excuse, just needed a break. Anyway. Still going through the short stories of the prophecies in the guidebook Warriors Field Guide: Secrets of the Clans . Up to Darkness, air, Water, and sky will come Together and Shake the Forest to its Roots .  Honestly, as far as prophecies go, this one seemed pretty bland to me. It didn't grab me like any of the others, but the point of the short story wasn’t the prophecy itself. I guess it was interesting enough in that respect. Here is what I came up with for the summary essay for the short story Darkness, air, Water, and skin will come Together and Shake the Forest to its Roots . The main theme in Darkness, air, Water, and sky will come Together and Shake the Forest to its Roots is trust. Brambleclaw and the rest of the Clan cats trust in StarClan, and its cryptic prophecies. Brambleclaw follows Bluestar's message that she gives to him in a dream. It is...

This prophecy , I feel, has the most impact. Not just the warning itself, but what it foretells. I want to talk about the effect of the prophecy itself first, though.   When I first read this on the back of The Darkest Hour , I could not begin to fathom what it meant. I just knew it was not good. That last line: " And blood will rule the forest !" Hearing that is terrifying. It's not a prophecy quickly forgot. For the character, also it has a huge impact. The scene of the hill of bones dripping with blood just drew it home.  From memory, Firestar doesn't even see Bluestar . He can't turn away from the hill of bones and only hears her voice. The fear he must have felt being given such a dire prophecy . Part of it clearly refers to Tigerstar , whom he was already worried about. The state it must have left him in. Having something like that weighing over you. Firestar was the only one who had that experience and knew the most among the living cats. It takes a...

Now we're at the section in Warriors Field Guide: Secrets of the Clans on prophecies . I always loved the books' prophecies , signally how they were often written in large print on the back cover above the blurb. Learning the prophecy long before the characters meant I had plenty of time to guess its meaning. This was always fun to me. And them being cryptic. To me, the prophecies felt like riddles (which I also love to tell and solve).  Although, I know many people hated this about the prophecies from what I've seen from videos on YouTube and comments in forums. Couldn't StarClan be clearer? What's the point of prophecies if the cats don't understand them until they come true? But what are your thoughts on them? Prophecies , like them or hate them, they're a part of life in Warriors . Let's see what the characters' stories about them have to say. Here's the summary essay on the first one, Fire Alone can Save our Clan . The central...

The theme of A Forbidden Love is a common one. Love is strong. And it’s true, there are few things that can overcome it. The problem with most media is it perpetuates this idea to an extreme. Has anyone else grown tired of hearing ‘ Love can conquer anything’. When consuming media that says this, I concede that it is trumped by little. But it can’t ‘conquer anything’. That’s one thing I love about Warriors . It doesn’t show a slightly more perfect world, especially for the sake of pushing a theme or idea. Crowfeather and Leafpool ’s love is doomed to failure from the start. We all know this. Even the characters know and acknowledge it. Despite their attempts to do anything to be together, it’s shown to be impossible in the main arc . That’s not what this short story 's about though. It’s about love ’s strength. So it ends with a determination to be together no matter what. The main theme in A Forbidden Love is love. Love is a powerful emotion, and, as such, is difficult ...
