Book that you may want to read

Watership Down
by Richard Adams
I read this book when I was in the 8th grade because it was for a grade. I really don't like reading so I'm surpised I got through this book. Anyways, this book isn't that bad. It has to do about talking rabbits. The main characters of the story are Hazel and his brother Fiver. The story begins in their home, Sandleford Warren. The rabbits were living at peace but one day Fiver had a vision that something terrible would happen to their home. He told his brother, Hazel, and they went to tell the Chief Rabbit that they should leave as soon as possible. Fiver's warning wasn't listened to by the Chief Rabbit so Fiver, Hazel, Pipkin, Dandelion, Hawkbit, Bigwig, Blackberry, Buckthorn, Speedwell, Acorn, and Silver depart on a journey to find a new home. All of them are male rabbits. They encounter many obstacles on the way. One of them was that some of the rabbits were taken as prisoners to Efrafa. They managed to escape and they took female rabbits and other rabbits along with them. The chief rabbit of Efrata wasn't too happy about this so he went after them with his patrol. There was a battle between the Efrafans and the good rabbits. The good rabbits kick the Efrafans butt big time. In the end they make their own warren and it has many rabbits. In case you're wondering the vision that Fiver had did come true and all the rabbits, except for two, that stayed behind at Sandleford Warren died. Well I guess that's it.

Siblings

I have a big family. I have five siblings and with me it makes six kids total. Of the five, two are boys and the other three are girls. Only one of them is older than me. My older sister likes bugging me a lot but it's nothing compared to my four younger siblings. They really know how to annoy me. The smallest of the family is seven years old and she bugs me a lot. I know she sees me like her role model but sometimes she needs to know when to give me time to myself. One thing that she does a lot is take my things without asking for them. Both of my brothers may be younger than me but they too like to bug me. Having that many siblings has it's positives and negatives. Neither of them is the same. They each have their own characteristics that makes them who they are. Even though they get on my nerves sometimes, they are still my siblings. I'm always there when they need me. I love them no matter what.
