Okay why does everyone hate her. I kinda hate her and I don't know why.

Because she was whiny?
Because she was hypocritical?
Because she had all this strange insight as an anomaly that others lacked?
Because she was foolishly naive, recklessly optimistic and yet obviously favored for it?


Or who knows, maybe we're all just a little racist and can't stand that she's the darkest one in the group? ::)
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

I think people relate to Rachel more than Cassie. They prefer Rachel kicking Ass to Cassie kissing Ass in her love everyone thing. I mean, she was kinda lame a few times.

I can't relate to Rachel at all and I don't see how the average reader could.  Not too many people I know would take a suicide mission happily or stab someone with a fork.

I can sort of relate to rachel, but not as much as tobias, ax, cassie, or david (yes I said david).

Why did you think she was hypocritical, RYTX?
This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?  Is this darkness in you, too?  Have you passed through this night?

That is exactly it! Doesn't KA know the darkies are supposed to die first? The only two that really cared for Cassie were the scitzo chick and the Jew![/SARCASM]

^Lovely :P


Anyway, maybe hypocrisy isn't the right would for it, but constantly saying, "this is wrong, I hate this, we can't do this" and then doing it anyway. Dude!! There are ways around the fight. Hate is a strong word, and a strong emotion. It's like brocolli. You don't hate brocolli, the only person I've ever seen truly hate brocolli is stewie griffin. You may not like it, you may seek it off your plate, you may whine about having to eat it. But you do anyway, and there is no real sense of hate for it. Where was I? Oh, yeah. Plus she tries to give, this Animorphs life stuff, it isn't for me. Bull-schivick, I give five point to Aftran for nailing her on that one. That's not something you give up.

Anyhoo, hypocritic may not be the best word in this example, but it falls on the right line

I'd like to think that I'm an average reader (not sure what other type of reader I could be) and I can relate to her a bit. More empathize than relate though. Not too many people I know would be brave and selfless enough to take a suicide mission to save the world.

you hate cassie more than the auxilaries? do you hate cassie that much?

Because as far as I'm concerned, Cassie is to blame for Rachel's Death.
If She hadn't prevented Jake from killing Tom, the Yeerks wouldn't have gotten the Efascil Device.
And, to quote the "things the animorphs would never say" topic, I get tired of her tree-hugging bull****.

I cast blame more on Eric than Cassie for Rachel's death. Her job was to make sure Tom wasn't taken. That the Yeerk didn't get away. If the Blade Ship was shot down, Rachel may have not been needed.

Of course, this goes back to there being several ways of writing the ending to realistically allow all the main characters we all know and love to live through the war. And have reasonably normal lives afterwards.

But I also hold it against Cassie for giving the box to the Yeerks. The general idea of letting Yeerks become nothlits to escape the war was an ok idea, but unconditionally giving the escafil device to them was stupid.

I didn't list the auxilaries in my first post, but I'd probably tie them with Cassie. I didn't really know enough about them to strongly like or dislike them. I might have even put them above Cassie, just because I didn't have any negative feelings against them.

David would be below Cassie, though.

Well, Erek not being able to shoot down the blade ship might have been accidental, but Cassie's choice was an entirely concious decision.

nothing, to an extent. Cassie's biggest crime was preventing Jake from killing Tom

Could people explain that scene in The Ultimate for me?

Explain how, Tom got ahold of the box and they couldn't steal the box without killing him.
