- Acorn, you dog-eared, dung-faced disgrace to a gamekeeper's gibbet!
- you bunch of mole-snouted, muck-raking, hutch hearted sheep ticks!
- you look like the end of a rat's tail left in a trap!
Imagine some chicken insults. What would a broody chicken call someone?
- those long-tailed, mud-furred, disgraceful rabbits!
- Goldie, you disgrace of a turkey's feather!
- are you deaf, you long-eared, short sighted, featherless weirdos!!!!!
How does Bigwig's leadership style compare with Hazel's? What makes the rabbits follow directions from Bigwig? And from Hazel?
They listen to Bigwig because of his fighting techniques. he will actually push them. If they refuse he will insult the fur off of their bodies.
They follow Hazel because he is calm and thoughtful about his decisions. They know that if they refuse he won't force them but he says, "Okay, you want to go back. Go ahead. Do you think you can face the lemming alone? Think you can face the dog alone?"
Bigwig's authority comes from his strength. Because he is the strongest. He was once a member of the Owsla and so they respect him.
Hazel's authority comes from his brain. He is the most clever.
