My Book Letter

Warriors... May not sound interesting to a variety of people, or many think cats aren't interesting. No, this series is not foolish housecat stories.... This, is forest cats, that fight for survival, who hunt everyday. Four clans live side by side in seperate territories. Many skirmishes keep the cats apart.

Erin Hunter, the author, creates a very fantastic mood to her books. My mind can always visualize the the sounds, textures, voices, kind of day, and wind. Erin makes it sound more exiting.

Some people think that this series would be calm, because of the cats. No, this series has lots of action. Erin Hunter doesn't just have one piece of action, but she takes another one and joines them together. In one book,she had a murderous leader, and brought in a fierce cat to ally. Instead, the fierce cat killed the leader. Every chapter, Erin starts with some interesting hook.
The message that I think Erin Hunter is trying to tell, is to never give up, and never lose faith. These cats go through hard winters, and tough battles, but never give up. They see or do bad things, buts never lose faith in eachother. The cats do not have everything, like we do, but have pride in what they have, because it is all that they can live with.
Something to question about Warriors is, why have so much drama. My quick answer to that was: Erin Hunter has a lot of drama because she wants the reader to always be hooked. What kind of genre is this? Well, when Erin Hunter makes the cats speak, at the end of it, she puts a cat speech. (meow, mew, purr) But... cat battles, and clans, would not typicly happen. So, the book might be normal fiction/action. Why cats? Erin Hunter seems to love cats. That name might be a pseudonim. What is the typical life of the clans? Hunting, patrolling borders, skirmishing, eating prey, and sleeping.

Thank you for reading my reading response to: Warriors.
Hoped you enjoyed it.
