Post #2 of RedWall

In this part of the book, the antagonist camed Cluny is more thoroughly introduced. As a reader, I was able to get more of an idea about Cluny, and what type of person (rat) he is. He is good leader who is very persistent, endless, and very picky. Although he would be a favorable charater if hewas a good guy, because he is the evil rat who is trying to disrupt the peace of RedWall, he is impossible to be liked. The theme of the parts of the book, where it is told on Cluny's view, is curruption. Everything that Cluny has in charge of is currupted: from his base to every single one of his battle tactics. On the other hand, everything in RedWall is perfect. They never lost a single battle yet. When the rats had unfair advantage over the mice of RedWall, the mice just won. To make the matters worse, the mice oversaw every single tactic that were planned by Cluny, and successfully defended themselves from getting into any peril.

I personallydon't like these kinds of books where the good guys win without even breaking a sweat. I enjoy books in which the main characters struggles yet never gives up, and due to his determination, he either wins or loses.

RedWall by Brian Jacques

Right now, the feelings evoked by the book is very peaceful and happy. The main character Mathias has his life set. The village RedWall is a community in which everyone accepts one another. They don't have any prejudices toward others. One family, the Churchmouse family is very poor. However, instead of abandoning them of their social status, Mathias' dad tried to help them by secretly handing Mrs. Chuchmouse some food from the party that he hosted, in which everyone was invited. The theme of this book is peacefulness is good. Mathias dreamed of becomming a great warrior. However, his father discouraged Mathias of having such a dream, because he didn't want the village to go into a war again. He enjoyed the peace that he was experiencing in the village, and wanted to keep things that way. Later, an evil mouse named Cluny is introduced, who is the destroyer of the peace. Because of Cluny, the village suffers from the "darkness".
I am currently very fond of the main character Mathias. He is very loyal to his father. Even though his father makes him do errands, Mathias doesn't complain, and get straight to his work. In some ways, Mathias relates to me. I too am a great person, and would try to do anything that would satisfy my parents. Because Mathias is such a sweet child, his father Abott has nothing to say against him. One thing that I differ from Mathias is the way I treat my sister, and the way he treats his brother. I sometimes abuse my sister, and I think that I would need to fix this.
Overall, I believe that this book would be a great reading for my leasure times, and think that I would need to finish the rest of the trilogy after I'm finished reading.
