Main Characters and a Brief Description of Each:

White Fang: A wolf (with a little dog in him) who is a outcast in his ownkind and in the human world. He is treated cruelly, but is strengthened by it. He becomes a fierce and fighting creature who has neither seen love nor has shown love. However, he meets Weedon Scott and finally knows and feels love.

Weedon Scott: A compasionate man who saved White Fang and believed he could gain his trust. He becomes White Fang's owner and beloved companion.

Central Conflict and how it was related to the theme: White Fang became a cruel creature due to the mistreatment of his previous caretakers. He is __lonely__ and an outcast, but Weedon Scott is determained to show him love.

How was the Theme Developed (Give Specific Examples from the Story that Support the Theme): White Fang began to live with the Indians, was shown punishment, and was tormented by the other dogs. Then, a man named Beauty Smith forced White Fang to fight and locked him up. Therefore, White Fang becomes an outcast and had to fend for himself. EX: When White Fang's mother left him alone with the Indians and dogs, he was bullied by Lip Lip, a domanint puppy. EX: One fight with a foreign dog, while White Fang was in Beauty Smith's care, left him half dead.

I have read a book by this author before.

White Fang is my favorite of the 3 books, because it is about a wolf (animals are awesome), the details are superb, and the ending is very heart warming.
