The Battle Of War Among The Packs

            For years, wolves have been falsely accused for crimes in stories, myths, and life. In Never Cry Wolf, author Farley Mowat demonstrates how even though wolves are mistakenly stereotyped as evil; people don’t know anything without evidence. Farley Mowat takes a trip to Churchill, Canada, to study Arctic wolves for the Canadian Wildlife Service. He is studying the Arctic wolves because he needs to prove that the wolves are killing all the migrating caribou. During the entire book, he witnesses and experiences, new journeys about wolves and Eskimos, throughout his time in the tundra. Mowat learns over time, how wolves are mischaracterized from who they

The pack cannot grow up around humans as a consequence of their parents being ostracized by the local farmers. Similarly, their parents have, themselves, ostracized the local wolves. The pack’s parents are werewolves, or at least a breed of them, and their condition skips a generation making the girls physically humans. Considering that the girls are physically humans, they cannot stay around the other wolves being as they cannot keep up with them. Additionally, the pack does not speak ‘wolf’ or even ‘human,’ but instead a slab-tonged pidgin, inflected with frequent howls. This makes it so that the girls can barely talk and what they can speak is all but completely indecipherable. In other words, the pack comes from what seem like nothing, but they make the best of it and eventually graduate from St.

In the excerpt “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves” by Karen Russell the narrator speaks as a half wolf half human mind set. She discusses the improvements and difficulties of living in captivity after being free and wild their entire lives. There are three (3) main characters, Mirabella (youngest), Claudette who is the middle child of the three (3) sisters, and last but certainly not least, Jeanette. These girls are few of an entire “pack” of half human half wolf. The pack is referred to as a whole throughout the duration of this excerpt. They experience difficulty in the transition of the “wolf-identity” into more of a “human-identity”. This short story exemplifies how the difficulty of change after being exposed to ones “tradition” for so long differs for each “person” wolf or not.

What do you think of wolves? Do you think they’re blood-thirsty killers, or do you think they are rather friendly animals? In the book, Never Cry Wolf, (1963) the author, Farley Mowat, writes about his excursion to the sub arctic Barren Lands of Canada to study how wolves act and how the community is being affected by the wolves. The people of Churchill lead Mowat to believe the wolves are something that they aren’t, which is a blood-thirsty killer. Mowat then uses the rhetorical strategy Pathos throughout the book to show you how he personifies the wolves and how fear is all in our minds.

The purpose of writing the article Wolf Wars was to inform the reader about new situations in the west. The reason is to inform the reader of what problems wolves have been causing. In the article, the Author explains of how wolves became endangered and then flourished once more.

By the time the cubs were ready to hunt, she had only just mastered the ability to move gracefully on all fours and was by no means silent. Her communication was awkward as well. The babblings and cooings she arrived with had left within a few months, but her barks and howls lacked the inflection and urgency of the others in the pack. By the time the second litter came around, she had found an accepted place within the pack: Not the Omega, too many of them still regarded her as a pup for that, but not truly treated like a pup either - she knew too much, tried too hard. In all honestly, they didn’t know what to do with her, this child who was not a part of them but who was tolerated. She participated in hunts (so she thought) and in return could eat with the Omega, her hands pulling at the flesh so as not to get too close. When the fifth litter was born, The Alpha and the pack went hunting. In a tragic turn of events, the Alpha was injured and died shortly afterwards. They dragged the carcass back towards the den, leaving her behind. Disjointed howls filled the air as they mourned his death, which turned into a battle for who would be the next Alpha. The girl cared little for who would be in charge; she clung to the dead wolfs neck, howling and crying, having lost her second father. An old song hummed through her lips without a thought, bringing comfort. A few members of the

In the novel Maximum Ride written by James Patterson an important theme/idea conveyed in the text is the importance of family and friends. This fighter “flock” of kids is, for all intents and purposes, a group of test tube babies. They were born out of a science lab and have no idea who their parents are (or if they even have parents), and do not know if there are others that share their avian gene (they are 98% human and 2% bird) This is worthwhile learning about because when something bad happens you have people around you to help and guide you. The way they explain trying to find their real parents encourages you to love your parents more and that you should take them being by your side for granted because some people don't even have parents.

I remember the smell, the sounds, the taste of blood. I remember seeing my comrades fall beside me, the sting of the cuts. The numbness as I fell alongside them, the sadness, the tears. The price of war, I believe my father said that to me before he died. I remember being lifted and carried, I remember a laugh. Then I felt my mind slowly becoming numb, and soon my mind was consumed by the darkness. Like a wildfire it spread from the farthest of places, destroying everything in its’ path. It was over, the war was lost, hope gone; at least until today….

From my room,I had smelt and sensed that rain was about to  arrive and had scurried outside before the drops commenced.Sweet anticipation formed inside as I awaited the blissful raindrops to pelt me on my face and body.The wind rose higher and grew frighteningly violent,swirling throwing rocks and gravel into the air.The thin

However, with the toughest and most cunning former alpha now dead, vampires think it's safe to declare war on the pack. Carrie is strong though and can handle anything an enemy throws at her -- it doesn't take long for the vampires to retreat, knowing this is no war they can win. Not wanting to lose, they align with a powerful coven that too wants the wolf pack out of Dallas. (The witches and vampires want them gone because the pack runs the city; not much goes on without the wolves knowing.) This coven cooks up a spell to banish any and all werewolf (triggered and untriggered) from Dallas. Much like the spell in TVD, they can't cross the city line. When this happens they head to New Orleans where their sister pack is; The Crescents. Hayley and the pack welcome them with open arms and offer to help them find a way to return home. Carrie and Hayley become quick friends and for now, they agree to merge the two packs into one. Both woman remain alphas and both are very respected by each

A long piercing howl shatters the quiet night of a northern forest. The howl grows into a chorus of yelps and barks, and the valley echoes to the chilling sound. The leader of the pack starts the noise, while other pack members, as well as other wolf packs, join in (O’Toole 22). Among wolves, communication is a very highly developed skill. For instance, the howl of the pack leader has many different meanings.
