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.

  1. I 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.
