They left the original warren because Fiver says he can see into the future, he says something bad is going to happen soon so a couple of the rabbits leave and they gather more rabbits along the way. “‘Fiver and I will be leaving the warren tonight,’ he said deliberately. ‘I don't know exactly where we shall go, but we’ll take anyone who is willing to come with us’” (page 14). Hazel is strong and brave and is willing to go anywhere to help his friends from not being harmed by anything that they may come across. Being brave really helps the leader be a better leader than they already are because they are confident enough to do what is needed although it may scare them. Although Hazel got injured because of the men that came to kill and hurt the rabbits, he still powered through the pain and was a great leader even while he was hurt. Hazel was strong even when he go hurt from running away from the men and falling into a hole that he couldn't get out of. When Hazel was missing because he was in the woods and injured his friends were looking for him because they need him around for them to be safe. Hazel is great at doing what is needed like finding food to survive and helping others get where they need to be. Hazel is always super supportive, for example when they were at the new warren one day the went outside and they found an injured bird and Hazel demanded that they help him and make him get better. Hazel told all of the other rabbits to find food for the bird Kehaar. “‘I believe it's starving,’ said Hazel. ‘We'd better feed it. Bigwig, go and get some worms or something. There's a good fellow’” (page 181) Hazel is being a leader here because he is telling Bigwig to go

What a child sees when he or she is new to the world, and doesn’t know everything, effects their behavior, and outlook on their life ahead. This lens is illustrated in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" (Lee 30). Atticus Finch says these words to his daughter, Scout, after he elucidates to her why it is important to not be quick to judge a book by its cover .

Atticus Finch belongs to a very, very small minority. He is one of the very few human beings who does not hate Hitler. Of course, he does not like the universally hated historical figure, but merely dislikes him. This is a major theme of Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a beloved novel published in 1960. After reading the novel there were some moments and people that I found particularly enjoyable. My favorite part of the novel was when the children went to Boo Radley's house to try to get a look at him. In addition, Atticus Finch was my favorite character in the novel. In my opinion the book was very good. I felt that it really showed the thoughts and actions, both good and bad, of the people in the South during the time of the Great Depression. At some points it was sad and at others it was comical but overall it conveyed the message that it was trying to send and everyone could learn something from it.
