WHITE FANG by JACK LONDON
SUBGENRE: novel
PLOT: White fang is
a puppy wolf so called for the colour of his hair. When he is young he learns
to defend himself from the cold or from the hunger; so when he grows up he
becomes strong and brave. But one day an
Indians group takes away him in their village where he is ill-treated from men
and other dogs. White Fang defeats all opponents, including several wolves and
a lynx, until a bulldog is brought in to fight him; the wolf nearly suffocates. When Weedon Scott sees this scene he
helps and save White Fang and he goes away
to California with him. From that moment the wolf lives a good life with
people who loves him. The story end with the scene of White Fang, Collie and
their six puppies.
NARRATOR: third person
THEMES: growth,
courage, mother love, affection
PERSONAL COMMENT: I liked this book because with beautifully
realistic details of the harsh realities of life in the Yukon, White Fang is
a grippingly original novel about
morality and redemption.

RispondiEliminaI Like very much this book because there are realistic descriptions of White fang. An important theme is the relationship between Weedon Scott and the fang.
