Answer and Explanation:

In the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Shelley, the speaker recounts the story told by a traveler, who found the ruins of what was once a kingdom. Among the ruins was the statue of a king, Ozymandias, and the inscription, "Look on my works, ye Mighty and despair!" The line shows how arrogant Ozymandias was. He did not seem to consider his own frailty as a human being, much less the possibility of his kingdom being destroyed in the future. It is quite ironical to read such boastful words when all there is around is in ruins. Nothing is left besides the words themselves. Even their meaning is lost.

Explanation:

The characters are very relatable when you get down to it. An outsider who joins a group and winds up becoming an essential part of that group. That's Fireheart. Someone who winds up falling in love with someone they're not supposed to and winds up joining his children in their mothers original home town. That's Graystripe. Someone who used to not care for the new kid eventually growing to be friends with them, love them, and have kids with them. That's Sandstorm and Fireheart. Someone whose mother disowned them after discovering an illness/disorder and that individual struggling to find acceptance but eventually finding that acceptance. That's Crookedstar. I'm sure many people have been through those or similar situations, and that's not even all the ones I could list.
