    The author of the novel ´Never Cry Wolf´ ,Farley Mowat, uses many instances to convey the point that the wolves of the great north were portrayed as regardless savages that kill for sport, and that this was false and they are peaceful equalizers of the populations to keep the herds healthy.

    What makes the ending of the interlopers surprising and I wasn’t expecting what happened I was expecting a different kind of ending. At the end of the story Ulrich and Georg made up and became friends and at the end of the story it said “wolves”. So I know what happened to them. Even though they made up to become friends they became the wolves’ meal and they were still stuck under the tree. How “Nature’s own violence” overwhelms the two men in the Interlopers and why I suppose the author Saki chose to have nature destroy the men rather than have the men destroy each other was because the author Saki wanted to put a twist at the end of the story by putting the wolves in after the two men Ulrich and Georg had made up while they were stuck under…

In the pain and languor that Ulrich himself was feeling, the old fierce hatred seemed to be dying down.” (9) He felt pity for the men he once hated because of the pain he sees in him that he is also experiencing.…

That embodies the impulsive and unreasoning side of an animal and the violent and dangerous side of humans.…
