White Fang Jack London Canadian Wilderness A young wolf-dog exploring the Canadian wilderness while trying to understand humans. White Fang, the main character, is a wolf-dog born in the wild but raised by humans and not always nicely. Weedon Scott, his final owner, has the most respect and love for White Fang. An old trading post

**1.** I chose the book because I thought that it would be full of action. I like books about the wilderness and animals and this had both. //“Lip-lip was White Fangs own kind, and, being only a puppy, did not seem dangerous; so White Fang prepared to meet him in a friendly spirit. But when the strangers walk became stiff-legged and his lips lifted clear of his teeth, White Fang stiffened too, and answered with lifted lips.”// //“At first he snarled and tried to fight; but he was very young, and this was his first day in the world, and his snarl became a whimper, his fight a struggle to escape”.// **2.** I would recommend this book because it is full of action and people would enjoy reading it. It kept me going because of White Fangs struggles. I wanted to find out what happened to him.
 * 2.**My connection to the book is about the setting and my own experiences in the Canadian Wilderness. This is because when I am in Canada hiking or mountain biking I have to watch out and be aware of dangerous animals and dangerous surroundings. When White Fang was a puppy he had to watch out for animals that could hurt him and he has to be aware of rivers and holes where he could hurt himself.
