"White Fang"

The book "White Fang' is an interesting book that involves this wolf who got tamed. The cub was named White Fang for his fangs. He has been sold from his original owner to a different owner. His new owner was Beauty Smith and he got him for bottles of whisky. Beauty Smith made White Fang participate in dog fights. Every dog he fought he would either kill or was close to kill until he fought a bulldog named Cherokee. They split them up just in time before White Fang died.

In the book “White Fang” there was a Contrast and Contradiction. White Fang was always with his mother as a cub until she left. White Fang stayed with his owner once his mother left back into the wild. When his owner couldn't find any food they started killing animals for food so White Fang and the rest of the dogs ran away. While White Fang ran away he saw his mother and went up to her but she just backed away and hit him. His mother probably did this because she might not remember him because she left him when he was a cub. He later saw her again but this time instead of going up to her again he just left. This is different because as a cub he would always be by her and help her but this time he just left without trying to be with her. This tells us that he might be able to let go of people in his life that were important to him. Since his mother always raised him and protected him from the other mean dogs he was really attached to her. He was upset a little when she left but he was some what okay with it because he was with his new owner.

"The Devil's Arithmetic"

So far in the book "The Devil's Arithmetic" Hannah was enjoying her time with her family during one of her Jewish celebrations. In one of the traditions they have she has to open the door to Elijah. When she does she is brought back through time to live the life of her ancestor, Chaya, who she is named after. She experiences how terrible the conditions were in the Holocaust and how the concentration camps were. Right before Chaya was about to die she ends up back to her normal time in front of the door like how she was when she first time traveled.

One conflict in the book was when she time traveled to Poland. This conflict is self verse time. She doesn’t know what is happening and why it is happening. She’s not sure who the people are and what is going on. The next she’s fine with what’s going on, but she thinks she can’t lose her memory of her real self. Sadly, when she gets to the camp she forgets about her life, but remembers the facts of the Holocaust. Another conflict in the book is when one of the soldiers thinks the girls weren't working. This conflict is man verse man. He picked 3 out of the four girls Hannah was with. He picks every girl except for Hannah luckily, but unfortunately Rivka gets picked as one of the "chosen ones." While the three girls are leaving, Hannah goes up to Rivka and takes her ribbon. She puts it on herself and tells Rivka to run for her life. That means Hannah has to die in the concentration camp, but a second before she dies, she ends up back at home.

"White Fang"

I am reading this amazing book called "White Fang". So far "White Fang" is about how this she-wolf who kept killing Henry's dogs. Unfortunately only 2 of Henry's dogs survived out of 6. Later the she-wolf had a cub with old One-Eye. Old One-Eye later got killed by the lynx sadly. After old One-Eye died the she-wolf couldn't find any food besides the lynx's kitten. She killed the lynx's kitten so she can feed her cub and herself. The lynx was furious with the she-wolf so she went and attacked her. The she-wolf knew if she lost this fight her cub would end up dead, so she fought with all her might and won. That night they went to bed not starving.

Old One-Eye, the grey leader, and the young wolf were fighting over the she-wolf. Old One-Eye and the grey leader decided to team up and kill the young wolf. Later old One-Eye was left to fight the grey leader and he won the fight. The grey leader and the young wolf ended up dying and old One-Eye ended up with the she-wolf. Later when the lynx attacked the cub would have died if his mom didn't win the fight. If his mom lost he would have ended up dead like grey leader and young wolf. The fight with the lynx isn't the major climax in my opinion because it didn't really do that much damage because the lynx's didn't kill the she-wolf or her cub. I haven't got that far in the book to know the falling action unfortunately. I really like the book so far because it is really interesting. Its interesting because it has a lot of action between the wolves and its suspenseful because you never know if the cub is going to die or not. I think that maybe the cub will grow up with his mother because if the mother could win a fight with the lynx's then that proves she can protect her cub.

Holocaust

People who actually stood up for the Jewish were really brave because most people wouldn't do that. Most of the bystanders didn't step up because they're putting themselves and their family's at risk. Personally I wouldn't stand up because I would be putting my family in danger because the Nazi army was stronger than me. People would join the Nazi army only because they knew they wouldn't be killed because if they tried to protest they would most likely be dead.
