The Chosen Wolf: A Short Story
The Chosen Wolf, Adonis, stood overlooking the city as the brisk wind struck him in the face. The snow was so freezing that it felt like there were needles puncturing him with every step. He could see his breath in the chilly air around him. This was very outlandish to him, as he had come from a different world. He was from the planet of Takondwa. On this planet, the sun’s rays felt like hot coals scorching his fur coat. As the wolf was thinking about this, he realized he was getting too caught up with thinking about his home planet.
Sitting on top of the hill made him realize how intrepid he really was. Adonis had been a sacrifice chosen to come to planet Earth to gather food for the other wolves from Takondwa. The population of wolves in Takondwa was growing like a weed. Since there were so many additional wolves, the food supply was rapidly draining. Now, the wolves were crippling and slowly fading away. This tragedy had brought the decision to choose a courageous wolf to take an odyssey to Earth to gather an abundance of food that the wolves of Takondwa needed. Everyone could see that Chosen Wolf was nervous, as he had the appearance of a deer in headlights when they told him that he would be transported to Earth. But, he was the best fit for this duty. He was normally very brave, and had the mindset of a soldier. Adonis knew that he had a …show more content…
He forgot about everything that the wolves from Takondwa had uttered about him having a great chance of being captured by the hostile humans. Chosen Wolf will not be captured. He will do whatever it takes to come out victorious. He was prepared for the battle. This was an occasion where failure wasn’t an option. If the food wasn’t gathered, the whole wolf population of Takondwa will diminish. His eyes had the look of a lion ready to attack its prey. Chosen Wolf trotted down the

    Arctic Wolf Research Paper

    Although we were unable to attend the feeding of the wolves, there were still a few pieces of untouched meat lying on the ground. In light of the wolves’ inactivity and obvious weakness for heat, we took this as a sign that the wolves’ usually sizable appetite was affected and overridden by their weakness to the heat; that they were too hot to eat. Their inability to handle high temperatures was quite apparent from the very start, as they were quite often sticking their tongues out and breathing heavily while walking/lying on the ground; something dogs often do when they get hot in the summer in order to cool themselves. Regarding their enclosure, we found out from a zookeeper that the terrain in it was not quite ideal. The wolves had plenty of logs and pieces of wood scattered about them so that it would resemble a forest and to make it more interesting for them to range the enclosure, but the terrain itself was actually too steep, as the enclosure was built into the side of the “hill” in the Schönbrunn Zoo. This means that the wolves are actually unable to make use of the logs to jump over when they are active in order to emulate their behaviour in nature, and amuse themselves, and, in effect, it reduced their area, as some parts were too steep to walk over, and made the bottom half very unappealing to them (especially as most of it was walled off by the small observer’s hut, in effect disabling them from looking outside their enclosure from half of the bottom part). When the wolves did come down to the fence, they did not appear to be fazed or unnerved by the observers, and, indeed, they did not show any signs of being affected by a relatively large…

There are times when a normal conversation takes a turn for the worst and ends up being strange and you find yourself wondering “How the hell did we end up here?” A funny film where we see two friends having a conversation, Thomas Simon’s Wolf & Short film is both eyebrow raising, and hilarious.…

    St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves Analysis

    We’d heard rumors about former wolf-girls who never adapted to their new culture. It was assumed that they were returned to our native country, the vanishing woods. We liked to speculate about this before bedtime, scaring ourselves with stories of catastrophic bliss. It was the disgrace, the failure that we all guiltily hoped for in our hard beds.

    The Fur Trade Short Story

    Hello, I am here to share my story with my friend. Our names are Alain and Adonis. Alain is French and Adonis is aboriginal. I will first tell the story of my friend Alain. It all started when Alain's Great-grandfather Jacques Cartier had set off on a sailboat in search of riches. He landed on the western coast of Canada and he made New France. He also told me that Cartier returned to France and died in 1557. Then in 1660 Alain's Father came along and wanted to go to New France to find a new wife and wanted more space to live in because his mom died due to a freak accident. Once they got to New France they were welcomed and were given space to do whatever they wanted to do. Alain and his dad were not used to the way New France worked because here both the First Nations and the French were trading to get the things they wanted instead of just buying things and Beaver Pelts were very…

    To Build A Fire By Jack London Essay

    The man now knew that the old timer at Sulphur Creek was right. He was desperate now. The gold miner had put himself in this situation. He was oblivious to the absence of the sun. The fact there was no sun, did not concern the man at all. He had been deceived by the pure white snow "rolling in gentle undulations". Although the man was forewarned, he was naïve to the danger the Alaskan Yukon held. The man is now becoming panicked, as the realization sets in that he is freezing to death. At the brink of desperation, the man feels the need to cut open his dog for the warmth the carcass would give him. "The sight of the dog put a wild idea into his head…He would kill the dog and bury his hands in the warm body until the numbness went out of them" (425). The fact that these thoughts are running through his mind means he must believe this is the only act that will save him. Unfortunately, instead of realizing the animal could have saved him by leading him to shelter, he's obliviously attacking it trying to take its live. The man is so desperate now he is ready to kill his own just for his life. It shows the extent he was willing to go to for the fight to stay alive. He would rather kill his companion then anticipate his own demise. His lack of imagination prevents him from reading the clues that would have kept him alive from the nature around him, which would perhaps lead to his…

    Into The Wild Essay Revised

    In his nonfiction book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer starts out the story with the death of young Chris McCandless and his two-year adventure ending at Alaska in April 1992. The discovery of Chris McCandless’s body influences Krakauer to write a brief article of his death for the Outside magazine. Readers of the magazine had different point of views for Chris’s death. Some admired him for his “courage and noble ideals” (Author’s note), while others thought that he was a “reckless idiot, a wacko, a narcissist... undeserving of the considerable media attention he has received.” (Author’s note) This controversy among many readers, along with Krakauer’s own insight into Chris’s point of view due to his previous experiences with his own father encouraged himself to write this book that started out from a simple magazine article. His story became like a scrambled puzzle set, when put together, may give us a better understanding of Chris McCandless’s journey “into the wild”. One important piece from this puzzle includes his discovery of his father’s secret. But another broken piece of the puzzle involves his naïve, risk-taking perspective to solving the problems he encounters in his life. While the reason behind this mystery can forever be irretrievable, we can make an assumption that Chris McCandless has spent his entire two-year adventure trying to find a greater meaning in life and avoiding truth in reality.…

    Realism: "To Build a Fire" by Jack London

    Following the man’s every footstep is his loyal companion, a Husky dog. The dog is depressed by the extreme cold and knows that it is no time for traveling. The dog’s knowledge brings us to another ironic situation. The man carries on his way, disregarding the serious warning signs such as his frozen cheekbones, numbness, and pain. We expect a man to be smarter than a dog, but ironically the dog is the one who understands the severity of the temperature. The dog had learned at an early age that men make fire and seek shelter to survive. The fact that this man doesn’t do so is realistic in that it shows how humans don’t always make the best decisions.…

    The scalding screech of the snow stretched out in an endless fog. The weather has remained a thick blanket of snow for the last week or so, and our food rations were painstakingly low. We’ve been traveling for 93 hunbs already, and we still haven’t reached suitable location for settling. As I sit here near the flicker of the magikó fos that has kept our thawj warm, lit the night and protected us from the dangerous trómoi of the wild, I stared out into the night sky and subconsciously reverted back to that night, the night. . . .I remember every vivid detail, from the shouts of defiance to the threats and insults, screamed without a second thought. The split. Half of us headed one way, the other another. The night where the decision…

    "Wolf" Book Review

    Having read Wolf by Gillian Cross I thought it was quite an interesting book because it contained a lot of imagery. Wolf was about a girl called Cathleen Phelan (known throughout the book as Cassy) and her wrangle with her father Mick Phelan whose is part of the IRA (Irish Republic Army). The plot of the story is that Cassy’s grandmother gave Cassy some plastic explosives that she stole from Cassy’s father Mick and sent her to live with her mother Susan Phelan(known throughout the book as Goldie ). And throughout the story Cassy’s father was trying to get back his plastic explosives from Cassy, to finish the mission given by the IRA. The climax of the story was when Cassy’s father was ready to kill Cassy if she didn’t return his plastic explosives. Throughout Wolf Cassy’s personality and her way of thinking has definitely changed. This is mainly due to the fact that she’s living with Goldie, Robert and Lyall, and her altercation with her father.…
