"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.

  1. Marilyn, this sounds more like a Contrast and Contradiction to me - not an Aha Moment. Why do you think White Fang's mother acted this way? What does this show you about the conflict or characters?
