I think that Featehrs and Fools is about wars that start out of someone's head. By that I mean that wars just start by someone saying something that is not true. Like at first the first peacock said that the swans can swim and another peacock said how strange the swans should fly. Again the first peacock broke the silence and said they had great strength and he said that they could turn us out of our gardens and make us fly or force us to swim. And so the peacocks started gathering sharpen feathers. Then the swans heard the peacocks talking and started sharpening their feathers. And the war broke out.

I think the book had good illustrations. I think the artist used good contrast of hot and cold colors. And the brush strokes he uses are kind of smooth in some parts and rough in others. You can see how much detail he puts into the pictures. The animals have eyes, the peacocks have beautiful featehrs, the swans have kind of whitish yellow feathers. I think what the author meant in the end when the two birds became friends was that no mater how horrible the past is thair is alwase room for friendship.
