//__**Into The Wild**__// //**By:Kyle Burkey**// //One day a young pet cat called Rusty who ventured into the forest and was ambushed by a young clan cat called Graypaw. Graypaw's mentor Lionheart and ThunderClan's leader Bluestar watch them fight and make up. Then Bluestar asked Rusty if he wanted to join ThunderClan. Do he went back home to think about it and the next day he went to Thunderclan and got a new name and started a new life to work towards a warrior.// __Into The Wild By Erin Hunter__ //is a book I can relate to because what Rusty did was give up a life where you can just sit around and nothing or work to things that you did and not somebody else, but you did it. This relates to me because when I started Kindergarten I gave up a life where I could just lie in bed all day and do nothing but I gave that life up for something where I had to work hard to get things also I decided if this was what I wanted to do and where I wanted to do it.// //**I met nice and mean people and I also made new friends that I new I could stick with for the rest of my life.**// //Next,// //**when Rusty got to ThunderClan he was pretty shy but he was brave to try something new.**// //He is met nicly and meanly. For example, in the book he is challenged by Longtail, this is how it happened: Rusty flattened his ears, narrowed his eyes, hissing, he leaped through the startled cats to fling himself onto his tormentor. Longtail was completely unprepared for Rusty's attack. He staggered side ways, losing his footing on the hard baked earth. Filled with rage and desperate to prove himself, Rusty dug his claws deep into the tabby cat's fur and sank in his teeth. There was no subtle rituals of swiping and boxing preceeded in this fight. The two cats were locked in a screaming, writhing tussle that flipped and somersaulted around the clearing at the heart of the camp. The other cats cats had to spring out of the way to avoid the whirlwind of fur. As Rusty scratched and struggled, he was suddenly aware that he felt no fear, only pure exhiliration.Through the roaring of the blood in his ears, he felt his collar tighten around his neck. Longtail had gripped it between his teeth and and was tugging, and tugging hard.Rusty felt a terrible pressure at his throat. Unable to breathe, he started to panic. He writhed and twisted, but each only made the pressure worse. Retching and gulping for air, he summoned up all his strength and tried to pull away from Longtail's grip. He And suddenly, with a loud snap, he was free.Longtail tumbled away from him.At once, Bluestar leaped down fron the highrock and silenced them all with a thunderous caterwaul. Rusty saw his collar mangled in Longtail's mouth.Rusty had a cut above his eye and bothh were in blood. Bluestar took the collar and said “The newcomer is welcome, starclan has spoke it's approval by taking his collar”. I can relate to this because I was met nicly and meanly to.But he always tried to be friends with Longtail still after that battle.// //Also, I believe Rusty is brave because he joined ThunderClan and gave up a good life for a challenging one and he wanted a hard life, plus he took on a challenge to live in the wild. Also even though he was insulted he always did his best though to work. I also believe he is confident because he believes// //**you can do anything if you set your mind to it.**// //He also believed he could fight Longtail and he challenged the clan was cats.Plus he made new friends and that was brave because he was and outcast.// //Plus, Rusty is also an outcast because the other cats don't believe in him and he lived as a kittypet for a little bit but the other cats don't care about it// //**even though you should always care about the present.**// //Also he dosn't have any warrior blood so even more cats make fun of him. Plus he dosn't have much friends.But he always tried to make more friends and he ended up being friends with everybody at the end.// //To conclude, Rusty is very brave and outcast but will do anything he believes he can do and he will// //**help others at any cost**// //even if he gets hurt. Also he forgives anybody who makes fun of him because of his past or is just being mean to him plus I would have him as a friend anyday because he is so loy al and nice and he never tells a sercret. I think that the big lesson in this book is to forgive others and always be truthful and always be nice no// //__**MATTER WHAT!!!**__//
