The Wolf: A Short Narrative Essay

George’s story “Wounded Wolf” and my research can show similarity and differences between wolves and humans.

We could assume that every wolf was once a man. At the beginning Carter explains how wolves are “carnivore incarnate and he’s cunning and ferocious”, but yet she also explains how “melancholy” a wolf can be because “the beasts would love to be less beastly if only they knew how” (110, 112).

They would try to outsmart the officers to their advantage. This was a way to adapt to difficult correction officers. One other adaptation is to have associates not friends. This is for mostly self-preservation in the prison. There is a code of convicts which states ?...do no favors and request none? (Carceral, 2004, pp. 122). Adhere to the code is expected of most long term prisoners.

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

In your own words how would you describe a wolf? Probably as a vicious, bloodthirsty kill. Well in Farley Mowat’s book he aims to change that view. The book Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat was published in 1963. The book is the story of when he, Farley Mowat, goes into the Northern Canadian Plains to study wolves. While he is there he discovers that wolves aren’t as savage and bloodthirsty as everyone seems to think. In his book he uses emotion, facts and trust to persuade us that the wolves aren't bloodthirsty and savage as everyone seems to think.

"Yes, alpha, have a safe trip.” I hanged up the phone. After hearing about the girl, I was antsy throughout my whole meeting. My wolf wanted to go home right aways so as soon as the conference was done I made it back to my territory. When I reached the pack house everybody was outside having a cookout. The kids were playing while the grownups watched over them.

The common perspective of a wolf is a terrorist who kills innocent people and commits horrible crimes, however, horrific actions such as these are not the only things that can classify someone as a wolf. A wolf does not have to physically harm others in order to earn that title. It is not uncommon to be hurting emotionally and it has the potential to cause physical harm when taken too far. I believe that those who hurt innocent people emotionally are just as wolfly as those who physically harm others. Tim O’Brien’s novel, “The Things They Carried” is a unique novel composed of many short stories, all of which have the ability to be taken as individual short stories, or can be put together to form one long novel. These short stories focus on war, the real truth, the emotional truth, and the lies. There are many instances where the narrator, Tim O’Brien (not to be confused with the author), proves himself to be an extremely wolfly man through these stories. He illustrates, time and time again, his wolfly characteristics such as betrayal of his friends, manipulation of his readers’ emotions, and sheer fabrication of horrible stories.

Thoughts are not the only things Arnold and the wolf have in common. Arnold is said to look like Bob Dylan with “his unshaven face, his big white teeth” (Tierce and Crafton 221) The wolf also had large teeth.

When you think of the wolf do you think of a blood thirsty, savage killer? Let me show you the misconceptions that has deceived you for so long. Farley Mowat, the author of Never Cry Wolf, which was published in 1663, is a biologist that was sent to the subarctic Barren Lands. He was sent there by the by the Canadian government to study the wolf and to investigate why the cariboo numbers were plundering in other words the lupine project. The wolves were the first suspect of the crime. As he spends his time in the tundra the author shines light on how the wolves aren't so vicious after all. The real ones to blame were the trappers and trophy hunters. Mowat uses logos, pathos, and ethos to inform the reader that wolves aren't the blood thirsty killers they have been thought to be for so long.

I picked the wolf because it resembles courage, strength, loyalty, freedom of spirit, and discipline.

The wolf yelped when the slug tore through his left shoulder, and tried to run away, but couldn’t. He fell to the ground, and then started trying to get back up. Charity ran over to the wolf, then stopped and stared in awe as he started changing from a wolf into a man!

The wolf was once a much slandered animal. In the western world, people feared and hated wolves, and this legacy is reflected in stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In these popular children's tales the wolf is made out to be a prowler and a killer of livestock and people. There is some basis for The Boy Who Cried Wolf, for wolves have killed cattle and sheep. But what of Little Red Riding Hood? There are no records of wolves killing humans in Canada or the United States. Yet, when wolves were spotted near rural communities, fear used to grip the populace, but over time this has become less prevalent.

The men all erupted into laughter. “We aren’t hunting no deer tonight, boy. We are going to keep the town safe tonight by decreasing the wolf population.”

The ranchers wanted Lobo gone as he was patrolling the pasture where the cattle ate and ran. Each day the ranchers noticed that they were losing cattle and they knew which animal was responsible for this. The ranchers thought they could outsmart Lobo and put out traps where they could catch him and end the distress caused to the
