    covered in class have male privilege littered through them to an extent. Two of the most notable works that male privilege played a key role in were Jack London’s The Sea Wolf and Julie Otsuka’s The Buddha in the Attic.

Even more so when you say all 7 species are on the endangered list of extinction.
