Firestar: Character Analysis
Hunting parties and patrols to organized. Enemies from the three other Clans to keep out of your territory. A whole Clan’s safety and happiness is on your shoulders. Firestar, from Warriors Book 6, The Darkest Hour, has to face all of this on that he’s Clan Leader. Throughout the book, Firestar scared and worried if he can save ThunderClan in their darkest hour.
Firestar started his worrying from the moment he became leader. As he received a dream from StarClan granting him his nine lives, each life received gave him extreme pain. Halfway through receiving his lives, he felt scared that he might not even make it through the dream. He was worried that he wouldn’t be worthy to be leader.
Another event where Firestar was scared in the book was when he saw that his reflection in the stream was a lion. He was scared half to death. The book says “Startled, Firestar leaped backwards. He let out a yowl as he collided with a tree and stumbled into the dead leaves among its roots.” It was a sign from StarClan, but he was clearly scared.
Also, Firestar get worried and scared when he leads his Clan into battle with BloodClan. He is afraid that he is leading his noble cats into the paws of death. As Clan leader, he knows that he will have to see a few of his cats die, but he just isn’t ready for it.
When he losses a life is an example of a time he was worried and scared in the book. He was worried that he would not return to the battle to serve his fellow cats to drive BloodClan out of the forest.
Throughout the book, Firestar deals with the worrying and fear that comes with the Clan leader title. He has to faces what no other cat in ThunderClan has to face. But with his Clan beside him, he continues through his struggles, being worried and scared.
I like your analysis; it sounds like Firestar. But you only showed his worried side. You didn't say how brave he was. You could still add that. If you do, be sure to give some of the many examples. In your first sentence, you said, "Hunting parties and patrols to organized." Did you mean "to be organized" or "to organize"? Either way, you should probably fix that. I do think that you did a good job of stretching out how he was worried into 6 paragraphs. :)
