Rabbit's foot

In the downs of a small farm, two rabbits are getting ready to flee their warren in an effort to escape the dangers of men come to kill them. Richard Adam’s Watership Down follows these two rabbits - named Hazel and Fiver - as they gather a following and make their way across the farmland to safety. The band of misfits looks to Hazel for guidance, and he leads them to their haven. A warren is established atop the hills where the rabbits are safe and sound. However, the need to keep the warren going strives the rabbits to continue exploring and find does in other warrens. They meet the Efrafa warren on their journey. This warren is lead General Woundwort, and immediately the two parties are at odds. One of the most noticeable differences is between the leaders of the two warrens: Hazel and General Woundwort. Both Hazel and General Woundwort are cunning in their own right, however the leaders use their wits in different ways; Hazel uses his wit for the betterment of his people, while General Woundwort uses his to control and oppress his people. One prominent contrast between General Woundwort and Hazel is how they rise to become the leaders of their warrens. In the beginning, Hazel’s “warren” did not have a leader. However, a group needs a leader (or, according to the rabbits, a warren needs a Chief Rabbit). Hazel proves himself worthy when the Owsla, or rabbit police, come to arrest some of the rabbits trying to leave. After a fight breaks out, Hazel steps forward to protect…

I noticed that when walking it was hard to distinguish the changes in my foot pressure but when I was standing still I did have an interesting observation. I found that I prefer positions where my weight is rested almost entirely on one side of a foot. I was told previously by my foot doctor that I have functional equinus, and was given orthotics to wear in my shoes. Functional equinus is when you do not properly rotate your ankle for movement so the orthotic was supposed to help encourage…

Form fitting boots that perfectly fit can be very comfortable and can easily snug around your foot (each boot should conform to each foot as they are both different).

26 bones, 33 joints and just over 120 muscles, our feet are a pretty small part of the body but are the very thing that moves it around, so why do we not concern ourselves more with the consequences of damaging our feet with poorly fitted shoes? Not only can wearing ill fitting shoes affect our feet, it can also cause permanent, precarious problems to our bodies and with up to 80% of the adult population suffering from some form of foot problem it is shocking that this problem is not glaringly…

in the top of the stump to go eat lunch and it bounced off the stump and landed on my foot. It left a big scar on my left big toe. It didn’t hurt but blood was rushing out like crazy. And all I could think was “why doesn’t it hurt.” At 10:00 in the morning on Mother’s day my mom said “let's plan out our day.” The first thing she said was “let's rake the leaves.” “But I think we should do something else for your special day.” I replied. (Really, I just didn’t want to.) She said “we can after we…
