Intense/emotional moments
Okay, I'm rediscovering my Ani-love at the moment and have to post here more often to satisfy it :)
I have another question for my fellow community members and Animorphs lovers:
If you had to name three of the most intense/emotional moments in the books, which ones would you pick and why?
3 of my favourites are:
The Rachel/Jake talk in the hospital in book #22
Okay, I don't even know why I picked this particular scene, because the whole book was pretty intense. But it was the first time someone put in words how Rachel got affected by the war and I liked the way Rachel reacted to what Jake had to say. I mean, she could have cried or something like that, but that's just not Rachel. Also I liked how she pointed out that Jake wouldn't have been able to go back to his old self either. Obviously we saw that in the last book, but I think even if Rachel and Tom had survived he would have been severely damaged (like everyone in a way), because he was a leader in a war at such young age and had to make so many life-and-death decisions.
The Tobias/Rachel talk in her room in book #23
There's so much emotion in this scene. And it shows so nicely how much Rachel cares about Tobias and how important she and the whole group are for him. Although he is a bird and thus isolated from his species, he had a feeling of belonging for the first time in his life ever. And of course he was afraid he would lose his friends if he became permanently human again.
I still wish he would have returned to being human at the end of the war, though. I never fully understood his decision to stay a bird. Okay, so he lost Rachel which was the worst that could happen to him and it probably ripped his heart out. But with the introduction of Loren, who really seemed to care about him, it just didn't make that much sense. (I hate that she was completely abandoned in the last book.) On the other hand I'm also having a hard time imagining birdboy without his wings. So maybe it was for the best. Sorry for rambling, but I wanted to get that off my chest.
The Cassie/Jake kiss in #26.
I liked how it was described (at least we got more than "She kissed me") and how it basically led to the success of the whole mission because the kiss was then stored in the minds of the howlers, who thus found out what love is.
Okay, that's just three of the moments that come to my mind. Feel free to share yours.
