Stiles is accustomed to being forgotten. He's always been in the shadows. He doesn’t mind, is comfortable there, even. He’s used to being forgotten, but being left behind never stops hurting.
He thinks the first person to leave him is his mother, and he knows it’s not fair to blame her for leaving him but it feels so much like abandonment that he almost doesn’t feel guilty. His mother, who names him some unpronounceable name and tells him that she isn’t going anywhere, who always seems to know when he’s had a nightmare and is ready with a glass of warm milk before he can think to ask for it. His mother who looks so frail on her hospital bed that Stiles is afraid she’ll fall to pieces right in front of him.
(Small pieces, he thinks. She’ll crumble to tiny pieces that will scatter across the floor and stain the pristine white sheets that she lies on.)

He wanders for months. Goes here and there and sometimes he visits his Dad and watches him drown himself in alcohol, and if the dead could feel guilty he would. Months after Stiles dies, he sees somebody lovely.
A wolf. Stiles' first love. Before Scott, before everything.
The wolf's blue eyes glow in the darkness, and he sobs, pounding the ground and screaming. He’s just as beautiful as he was the day he broke Stiles’ heart.
The howling subsides, and the broken voice of somebody Stiles once knew whispers, "I came back. Nobody told me you were dead, nobody told me. I never forgot you. I loved you"
It’s a quiet admission, one that sounds like its clawed its way out of his lungs, desperate.
And Stiles knows; he knows that this person would never forget him. Stiles longs to reach out, to touch, but he knows his hand will only phase through, useless. He settles for resting his hand by the wolf’s cheek, and he pretends that he can feel the warmth there. He can’t.
"I never forgot you either, Jackson."
He imagines making love to Jackson would feel a lot like making
Suddenly the growling was even more intense. It was menacing. Turning around thorough the glass window and darkness of night Caroline saw a pair of icy blue illuminating eyes staring back at her. Before she could calculate what was going on a large black wolf came through the glass window shattering it and a sharp pain dug in her neck and every thing went black.
In David James Poissant’s “What the Wolf Wants”, a man comes himself to find a wolf outside of his window, he lets this wolf in not knowing what to expect from him. The wolf sits with the man, is offered coffee by the man, and then asks the man for nothing but his slippers. The man is in no position to say no to this wolf who could inflict damage if need be. The wolf when receives the slippers, gets up to leave, and the man finds out that the wolf is also visiting his mother who is on the entirely opposite side of the country. Toward the end of the story, the narrator gives us a sense of back story, his brother lived in Alaska, lost his legs, and was subjected to hair loss, from this it is inferred that the brother Michael died of a cancer
While watching a series like Teen Wolf, one may tend to focus on the creepy, dangerous spin to what seems to be a cliché coming of age story. Though the main theme of the show is maturation, it is abundantly clear that the mythological aspects can all be an illusion for some deeper meaning. When thinking about the meaning behind a piece of work, the main character is behind the strife or coming of age, but Teen Wolf uses a main reoccurring character, Stiles, to provide and explain its underlying meaning. Stiles is one of the most beloved characters on Teen Wolf. He is known as the rambunctious, side-kick best friend of Scott McCall, the main character.
The child stated that both he and his father believe that there are many things that his mother has done. Jack indicated that he does not remember them, but his father “reminds me” about these things.
Terrifying shrieks filled the air as dark blood trickled down his body. He lay on the road, worn down, the blood staining his clothes, creating a stream down the road. He thought of his life, why he hadn’t realized what horrible acts he had committed. He thought why he had to be a fireman. He thought why was there no good in this world. He lay there waiting for his final seconds to quickly pass. “Farewell,
Lily who loses her mother at a very young age of four shapes her life around the indistinctive memory of her mother’s death. Lily has been profoundly affected by her own mother’s death; she believes that living with someone else’s death can be more painful than dying.
The wolf’s body suddenly shoots up and he whips he head to glare down at the boy intruding on his nap. “If you want to stay, keep your mouth shut or I will haul your tiny ass out of this bed and send you to Peter.” Stiles’ eyes went wide as he stared up at the grumpy man looming over him. “Okay.” He replied before zipping his lips, locking them and throwing away the key.
Depicting the character shaken by the death of the wolf McCarthy says, “the eye turned to the fire gave back no light and he closed it with his thumb and sat her and put his hand upon her bloodied forehead and closed his own eyes that he could see her running in the mountains” (41-45). A connection was formed between the character and the audience. The audience witnesses the situation clearly and feels for the character. The character reminisces about a memory of the wolf running through the mountains, and the audience visualizes this. This memory symbolizes that this wolf was more than just an animal to the man and the death of the wolf is more like the death of a friend to the

Earlier that morning Stiles was eating breakfast with his dad, when he noticed the way his dad dressed and acted, what he wore was a suit and tie -which really surprised Stiles since he has never seen his dad in one- and the way he acted was of pure excitement, he had a big smile on and was practically jumping in happiness at the sight of everything. Hell, he looked so happy that stiles thought he was going to sing a song from the smurfs movie.
The fact that she depends so heavily upon her son reveals the numerous insecurities she has about herself. It is the character and the name of Milkman Dead that enlighten readers of these highly significannot
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
Emeline might have been alive hundreds of years, but she’s never really lived. Using her knowledge and research, she helped save the Redwood Pack from devastation. However, she’s never felt whole. Not since she lost her mate so long ago. Now there is a new, younger wolf, entering her life and it will take more than her nose in a book to figure out the warmth in her heart is much more than a promise of a new feeling. It’s fate.
Although Jack admits that Susie has left, he shifts his attention to another desire, the desire to bring her death to justice through an unlawful path. “‘We’ve just built a tent,” Mr.Harvey said. ‘The neighbors saw us. We’re friends now’ ‘You know something,” my father said. (57). Jack, like everyone else has flaws and his stubbornness leads him to doing something he would not normally do. His unextinguishable passion to find Susie’s murderer leads him to coincidently believe that Mr.Harvey is Susie’s killer. However Mr.Harvey is the murderer of Susie, the evidence shown to Jack and the police show no evidence that Mr.Harvey committed the murder, which further proves that Jack is chasing a blank slate. Jack needs a scapegoat for his grief and chooses to find revenge in unproven subjects. “‘A father’s suspicion’ she began. ‘Is as powerful as a mother’s intuition” (87) says Jack. Once again Jack is trying to find a reason to make his illogical suspicion logical. Jack refuses to believe that Susie’s death occurred without a killer. He puts himself in denial and by doing so he will grieve forever. Jack’s perpetual grief will go on as long he finds things to place guilt on. Furthermore Sebold shows that rage and denial can be used to deal with the death of a loved one.
