Similarities And Differences In George's Wounded Wolf

Improved Essays
George’s story “Wounded Wolf” and my research can show similarities and differences between wolves and humans. Wolves are similar to humans in many ways, according to my research. Mother wolves must spend every minute with their newborn pups, as they can’t regulate their own temperature. Human mothers must spend a lot of time with their newborn babies because they need to be fed and cared for. Roko was just a young wolf. He may have been a pup, although the author doesn’t verify that. His mother did not spend every minute with him, and he was severely injured.
Wolf pups also play with “toys”, such as sticks, feathers, and leaves. This can keep them entertained for hours. Babies and small children really enjoy toys. If a child has a few toys, the mother may be able to get something done! Wolf pups enjoy playing with each other. They chase one another and roll around. This is similar to small children playing tag or tickling each other until they are rolling around on the floor. Roko’s pack celebrated and played about with one another when Roko healed.
Wolves’ main form of communication is body language. As humans, we communicate a lot with body language. When someone sits with their legs spread wide apart, hands on hips, and a proud look on their face, we know they are confident and they have claimed their territory. When

George tells us through her story that wolves will help each other when in need, even if it mean sacrificing their life. George tells us that “(Roko) jumped in front of the beast and Kiglo”. This tells us that Roko was willing to help a member of his pack when he was in need of help. Also, Kiglo, the leader of the pack, brought Roko food when he was literally starving, which is another example of helping friends out when they need it. Humans also help each other when they are in need. For example, when a friend is feeling sad or down, we often try to comfort and love

    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.…

    From domesticating dogs and livestock to more recently poisoning and killing anything labeled dangerous, humans have been in control of the environment for thousands of years. Now that we have more technology that can do harm, we must consider the effects of our worldwide massacre. Joy Williams and William Stolzenburg both wrote books concerning this topic and how we’ve effected or nearly eradicated whole species in search of economic gain or safety. These authors took very different approaches to address the issue, with Williams writing an accusatory and direct novel using “you” to speak to the reader while Stolzenburg creates a story personifying two of the last wolves in the United States as they avoid traps and hunters. The use of personification…

    One way that humans use animal behavior to tell someone something is territoriality. Territoriality is a behavior that is meant to signify that this person, place, or thing is “mine.” Humans use this to show people that this certain bag is mine or this is my boyfriend so “Back Off.” Animals use it in a few more unsophisticated ways than we do. Animals become territorial when another enters their space or approaches their mate and offspring.…

    Wolves are viewed as evil predators and are usually used to reference negative human behaviors. Such as rudely “wolfing” down food or “wolf whistling”, which references the way a man whistles at a woman in a derogatory manner. This perception of wolves may have widely encouraged the creation of the werewolf, a murdering, and torturing composite creature. That embodies the impulsive and unreasoning side of an animal and the violent and dangerous side of humans.…
