In New York of 1870, various types of people lived differently in the big city. There were three types of living styles that were known as the upper, middle, and lower class. But regarding this the author, Jacob Riis, focused only on the hardships of the poor in his book How The Other Half Lives. Oftentimes poverty was seen as the fault of the poor.

Throughout the work, “White Fang” by Jack London, we find creatures coming against the edges of their world. They either succeed in surmounting the barriers in front of them, or they fail to enlarge their world and perish. Using the tools and ideas of Jacob von Uexkell, we will look at the gray-cub who becomes White Fang and see the necessary reworking of his reality as he grows and adapts. Like Uexkell’s tick, the gray cub is born blind, and only through “the necessity of learning and living…
