He owned a “Tung”, or a pitchfork, and used it for farming. When the vermin came to attack him, he had it with him, and he used it as his weapon. This was the first time he had fought someone else and released his Bloodwrath. Bloodwrath is the anger in battle that most warrior badgers have when the fighting starts. Gorath had used his Bloodwrath before to move enormous boulders after being told he couldn’t do it, as well as using it to take down trees that were in the way. Trisscar Swordmaid, Triss’ full name, uses the Sword of Martin the Warrior.

Gorath escapes from the vermin with help from a Redwall creature that was also captured. The two make it to Redwall and learn of another foe, the Brown rats. Gorath kills some of the Brownrats with the help of his Redwall allies, but most of the Brownrats escape. The terror is thought to be all gone, but when they return from the battle, a water vole that had been used by Vizka Longtooth, stole the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior. Three Redwall heroes set out to reclaim the valuable weapon, when they are captured. Once the trio figures out who has the sword, the Redwallers expertly take down the guards left to monitor them and start to follow the trail of current holders of the sword of Martin the Warrior. They take it back, and join back up with Gorath who had been encircled on a plateau. Gorath had met two other badgers, a young female named Salixa and her old mentor Tabura. Salixa and Gorath have fallen in love and now are together on top of the plateau ready for anything. Right as the vermin under Vizka Longtooth and the Brownrats (who have teamed up at this point) are about to massacre Gorath’s force consisting of mostly shrews, the vole who first helped Gorath escape from the vermin appears with the rest of the Redwallers. They win the day, and Gorath travels with Salixa to become Badger Lord, in charge of Salamandastron and

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in 1818 about the scientist Victor Frankenstein who committed sin-filled crimes of pride for his own personal benefit, but redeems himself by confession. Shelley wrote this novel for the sole purpose to warn “all men make mistakes, But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repair the evil; the only crime is pride” Man should not play God and should apologize for his mistakes committed. In the work, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley drives Dr. Victor Frankenstein to pursue morally wrong, selfish, and prideful crimes that eventually lead to his redemption; however, not without compromising his life, the lives of others, and his immortal soul.
In Pearl Tull’s old age, she starts to lose her sight until she is completely unable to see. Pearl may be the only one within Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant who has gone literally blind, but many of the characters are just as blind emotionally. Throughout Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, many characters are too absorbed in their own problems and self-pity to notice the problems of the people around them. Almost all of the characters don’t realize how much their actions may have affected someone else, or are oblivious to the fact they did anything at all. When taking a closer look at the story, it could be said that Pearl Tull is the reason behind all of her family’s problems. Pearl is blind not only literally—in her old age—but metaphorically

The lack of acceptance is shown when David and Sophie are playing in the water and another boy sees Sophie's footprints that showcase her extra toe. After that, Sophie is forced to flee to the badlands for her own safety. David is mortified at this and asks why can’t they just cut off the toe in order to protect Sophie.```Mrs. Wender, if it's just Sophie's toes, couldn't you have cut them off when she was a little baby? I don't expect it would have hurt her much then, and nobody need have known.``` This shows how intolerant this society of Waknuk is by David suggesting to cut off toes in order to save a baby. David’s Father is very strict on the enforcement of the religious intolerance. For this reason, Sophie's parents do not want David and Sophie to spend any time together because of the extremist action that Joseph Stern would take if he found out Sophie had six toes.

“They were pleading with me to save them, silently promising that they could offer me more fun....You could throw away an entire cow more quietly. I then carefully put the fish eyes into my pocket and went into the house” ( page 3 paragraph 5,6). This shows how David came to grow the attachment to the pair of fish eyes that his father told him to throw away otherwise there would be consequences and he would have to eat a bowl of fish eye soup. Another quote is “When I lowered, this foul article of clothing would come to rest directly on my brother’s pillow. A second dreadful sock was rigged so that it could be pulled across his pillow”.(page 1 paragraph 6). This part shows how David got his revenge back on his brother because he was constantly pranking him every time in his sleep so the consequence was that David
