I chose this book because I wanted a feel of different genres of books. This book is very unique in how it utilizes talking cats in a fantasy setting. This book features many different characters which have very crazy names. Some examples of these names are Skeletonfur and Dovewing. A very enticing and interesting moment is when Lionblaze says, "Hurry! Call a medicine cat, Firestar is losing another life!"(Page 31). This was a very huge moment because I wasn't aware that clan leaders had multiple lives. This book also supports the rumor that cats have 9 lives.
This is a map of the location in which the clans live. The cats refer to the humans as Twolegs because we walk on 2 legs. This map id very important because we need to know the location of the cats to really understand this book. The Gathering Island is a very important location in the map because it is where the clan meeting is held to discuss issues or changes that need to occur to make life peaceful and happy for all of the clans. Sadly, these clans always have problems with food and territorial markings, this leads to fights breaking out between the clans.
The most important line in my book so far takes place in chapter 12 where Jayfeather says, " Firestar's dead!" This is very important because after this scene, war takes place between all 4 of the clans because the Thunderclan declared war on all of the clans if they didn't speak up and tell the clan who murdered Firestar. I'm very surprised that Firestar died because he was a very privileged leader and had a great reputation. He was also a symbol of anti-clan war. Sadly, after this event occured, that's exactly what happened.
Sai,
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog post, and I liked the detailed descriptions that you gave. That sounds like a good series with plenty of twists and turns. I'll have to try it out sometime. Good job on your blog post this week, and I look forward to hearing from you again in the future.

This sounds like a very peculiar book. I agree with you that this book seems very interesting to read because it adds to the fantasy genre by using talking animals. I found some of the names quite humorous because they were created out of two objects. The only thing I don't like about this post is that you give away what seems like a major spoiler in the last paragraph. Great job on this blog post!
