Abstract
The offspring of a pack of wolves, White Fang is
quite different from other wolves. It is quite hairy and has a gray color. Like other wolves, he
does exactly what his mother did. However, he wonders about the life outside and leaves the
nest. White Fang sees a man outside. He approaches the man and begins to examine him. The mother wolf realizes that her cub is outside and tries to save him.The man captures both the
mother wolf and White Fang and brings them to a concentration camp. Other dogs call the
puppy White Fang. Other dogs constantly attack him because White Fang is different.Then
they send his mother to another camp. Surviving alone, the baby wolf learns to fight with
others.White Fang protects the shelter’s owner’s son when other children attack him. In this
way, the owner of the shelter begins to be better cared for. Months later, when famine begins
everywhere, White Fang escapes from the camp. But it comes back after a while. This time
its owner starts using it in fights. Someone else who sees White Fang takes possession of it
and takes care of it better than ever before.
