White Fang (CHANGE TITLE SOON PLSSSS)
In the article “The Way a Wolf Sees Things” author Conrad Geller writes about Jack London’s writing style and how it explores “what life must feel like to a wild animal” (1).

Whenever White Fang continues to follow the leadership of man, he is eliminating the amount of classes that separate himself and the humans above him. After White Fang kills a lynx that is supposed to be higher up on the food chain, London writes how there were “none considered worthy of fighting him” (London 222). White Fang is gradually rising a natural progression to pushing the ownership classes out, so soon the remaining class will be the humans themselves (Campbell
