    Jack London, a writer who is known for his writing focused on wolves, was born on January 12, 1876 (Leal, N/A). By the time he was 30, he gained fame for his books Call of the Wild (1903) and The Sea Wolf (1904) (Leal N/A). At this point, the themes of wolves and exploring the lives of creatures in the wild were very prominent in London’s writing, so it came as no surprise that when he wrote White Fang in 1906, yet again centered around wolves (Leal N/A). However, this book was different, considered to be almost an antithesis to Call of the Wild. Whereas Call of the Wild explored the story of a domesticated dog returning to nature, White Fang centers around a wolf pup, for whom the novel is named, who is taken into an Inuit village and slowly but steadily changes with his surroundings.…

    The lights would beam and music would scream when the magical tokens entered the small slot of no return.
