  Br'er Rabbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Br'er Rabbit is a fictional character, the hero of the Uncle Remus stories derived from African American folktales of the Southern United States.
Br'er Rabbit stories were written down by Robert Roosevelt, uncle of President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt.
While modern Americans generally pronounce the second 'r' in Br'er, the original pronunciation was "Bruh" or "Buh." When Joel Chandler Harris spelled "Br'er" with an 'er' at the end of the word, he was indicating the Southern pronunciation of the final 'er' as in "brothuh" (brother), sistuh (sister), or faa'muh (farmer).

 Rabbit Health -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Rabbits are distinguished from the related hares in that they are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless; many also live underground in burrows.
Rabbits are also well-known for their advanced breeding rate, another factor which differentiates them from hares; in theory, a doe can produce from three to seven live young per month, during the first half of the year, although a more common rate is half that.
Within ten years of the 1859 introduction, the original 24 rabbits had multiplied so much that 2 million a year could be shot or trapped without having any noticeable effect on the population size.

 Uncle Remus, Br'er Rabbit And Emotions
With the variety and frequency of emotional reactions that people have, there must be a method, a form, an organization to these emotions, lest these emotional reactions become chaotic and dangerous.
As an example, think about a rose plant, another metaphor for emotions, growing freely yet orderly on a trellis as opposed to roses growing in a bramble such as where Br'er Rabbit lived (Songs of the South, by J.H. Cox), a metaphor for an impossible emotional tangle.
Br'er Rabbit's rose bramble, the impossible thorny tangle, is what becomes of our emotions if we do not choose to the rules of physical and mental health and there are rules, or there will be disease.
