Commentary On The Book 'By Ulrich's Wolves'

One of the strongest literary images I experienced was while reading from Of Wolves and Men by Barry Holston Lopez.While reading the story Barry Holston Lopez was describing what the wolf looked like, he said:"The wolf weighs ninety-four pounds and stands thirty inches at the shoulder. His feet are enormous, leaving prints in the mud along a creek". In my opinion, Barry Holston Lopez did an astounding job describing what the wolf looked like. One of the reasons this was so memorable was because for me it was so easy to imagine what the wolf looked like due to of how well Barry Holston Lopez explained it in such detail. This really contributed to the main idea of the text because it helped you experience the story so much

In conclusion, this curious bodies were not individuals, there were wolves. I don’t know what exactly happened, but they had perhaps died against the wolves since both were the interlopers interloping on the wolves’ territory. Even if the wolves have plagued the men, they will die as of this dangerous weather. Just one thing that could have happened was that if manhood could get on time, to save both Ulrich and Georg. The story of two vicious enemies who had finally turned into friends. The story in which the wolves’ territory was trespassed by the interlopers Georg and

In addition to this, the author’s use of syntax also emphasizes these deep emotions. When the protagonist hangs a sheet by the fire to dry, it “steamed…like a burning scrim standing in the wilderness where celebrants of some sacred passion had been carried off by rival sects”. The protagonist falls asleep, “palms up…like some dozing penitent”. When he imagines the wolf’s body, he sees her “running in the mountains” with “all nations of the possible world ordained by God” running with her. All of these religious and spiritual references help express the somber mood and reflect the deep sadness the protagonist feels, as well as the wonder he feels at these imaginings of this wolf’s

From the book: I was walking in a cemetery, among stiffened corpses, logs of wood. Not a cry of distress, not a groan, nothing but a mass agony, in silence. No one asked anyone else for help. You died because you had to die. There was no fuss. In every stiffened corpse I saw myself. And soon I should not even see them; I should be one of them-a matter of hours.

Metamorphoses of the Werewolf is a book that charts the evolution, growth and changes of werewolf stories “from Antiquity Throughout the Renaissance.” Each chapter focuses on a tale or set of myths in different time periods, and analyzes them, comparing and contrasting, as well as theorizing the meaning behind them based on textual evidence, mainly from church and court documents. Through this method, Ms. Sconduto points out direct correlations between werewolves and the belief systems of the churches in power.

Georg turns his bloody face slightly to try to see what Ulrich was doing. Georg could only see a blur of red because of all the blood his his eyes. He did not want to say anything to Ulrich, just incase he distracted him during this life or death situation. Ulrich has the shotgun in his hand, with a swift body motion to turn and face the wolves when still stuck under the beech tree. He aims at the closest wolf first, with a slight pull on the trigger the first bullet fires out of the gun. The shell from the

The wolf stopped just inches away from Todrick. Suddenly sirens erupted around the corner and swarmed around Todrick and the wolf. The wolf quickly turned his attention to the cars that screeched to a stop. Men in padded uniforms stepped out with weapons that ordinary police officers didn’t carry around. Todrick got up quickly, “Sir step away we have animal control here ready to put this beast down.” Todrick quickly stepped in front of the wolf, unaware of how close he was until he felt the hot breath down his back. “Wait, don’t shoot!” Todrick called out holding up both of his hands. “I know this is all out of the ordinary

Both Ulrich and Georg begin screaming together for their men to help them: “Help! Someone help us! Quick! Vicious wolves are about to attack! Help! Please!”

“You fat moron,” “You aren’t good for diddly” (Arp 94). Being told these words over and over again, a person eventually becomes discouraged and insecure. In Tobias Wolff’s story, “Hunters in the Snow,” main character, Tub is emotionally abused throughout the story. Tub’s two friends, Frank and Kenny haggle him about his personal appearance and sensitivity as he struggles throughout the story. Frustration and insecurities lead him to the conflict that he always tries to avoid. The emotional abuse causes Tub to be illogical and sensitive, but then eventually pushes him to become inconsiderate and self centered.

Throughout American history, there have been unrelenting efforts to force Native American peoples to surrender their tribal existence, national sovereignty, land ownership, tribal land relations, and indigenous tribal religions by turning to western ideals of the Christian religion. Black Elk Speaks by John G. Neihardt is a literary text of considerable significance especially on American culture and religion that tries to examine how Native Americans reconcile their sentiments regarding these unrelenting forces. The book’s main character, Black Elk, a Lakota holy man who is raised in the Lakota Sioux nation’s Oglala band, uses his visions to prescribe solutions for his people. He witnesses various events that shape his life such as the massacre at Wounded Knee and the Ghost Dance. Black Elk is an uncharacteristic member of the Sioux nation, particularly due to his youthful visions and final emergence as the Sioux medicine man with healing and prophetic powers. His great experiences give a deep insight into how the Sioux related with nature. By the time Black Elk is interviewed by John Neihhardt, he is in the twilight years of his life. He is risking a lot by revealing some sacred details about his life to a white man. However, he feels compelled so that he can preserve his sacred visions and thinking for posterity. He uses detailed symbolism as well as instructions passed down

Why do people follow others? Is it because they find it easy, is it because of the way they were raised or is it because of the nature of people. I find it strange to see people who choose their beliefs based on what others believe instead of finding a way to justify their beliefs. The story “” displays this conundrum with the image of two families whose leaders hate one another only because of a dispute that happened generation ago. The story describes how one another lived their whole lives wanting one another dead. This example is all too common in today's world with people who follow would do what someone famous would say for no reason, or how people follow the beliefs of their parents without justifying

According to the National Restaurant Association survey from 2014 ‘nose to tail’ eating is among top 25 table service trends. “The modern nose-to-tail trend emerged about a decade ago with Chef Fergus Henderson’s book “The Whole Beast: Nose-to-Tail Eating.” The book was released in 2004 and it got a lot of attention. The author explained how to use various animal parts in cooking, especially those that were rarely used and went to waste. According to Chef Rob Levitt, “it’s actually an age-old approach, where farmers would raise a pig, butcher it… and preserve it to last the whole winter, making use of every part.” There is certainly a connection between the ‘nose-to-tail cooking’ and sustainable practices. By using the whole animal we can eliminate waste, which contributes to sustainability. As Levitt says, “[a] farmer can’t raise a pork chop. A farmer can’t raise a leg of lamb. You have to raise a whole pig, a whole lamb.” Before the mass production, people used old techniques to produce food, where most people farmed and raised their own animals. They showed more appreciation for their food and didn’t waste as much. Historically, using the whole animal in cooking was not a food trend it was simply economical and there is nothing wrong with being thrifty.

The wolves started running towards them. Georg and Urich were scrambling to escape more than ever.
