Edward Irving Wortis's Old Wolf

293 Words1 Page

Old Wolf is the name of the book I have read. The author of Old Wolf is Edward Irving Wortis or AVI for short. The plot of the story is (rising action) a wolf pack leader is challenged and gets hurt then (climax) he wants to prove himself and gets hurt badly a raven helps after that (falling action) a boy helps him get food and water (resolution) wolf gets up and walks away before he is killed. . The setting of the book is in a forest with winter happening. My thesis is that the leader felt he was going to be denied as a leader because other pack members thought he would be weak or not powerful. Nashoba has changed throughout the book. With lots of key parts that changed him slowly. He never thought these things would happen to him or if

There he discovers the fear brought upon by men, and how it can result horribly for the wolves.

    According to Karl N. Llewellyn and E. Adamson Hoebel, making new laws in our societies helps us to become more discipline and safe and it also prevents us from crimes such as rape, sexual assault or harassment, violent crime fraud, robbery, murder etc due to a larger society which Hoebel called “heterogeneous”. Many people in the modern society can not make their own decisions without hearing or listening to the people in power such as the government (legislatures), police, lawyers/ judges. Just like the “Cheyenne community”, the community they come to together to solve conflicts between individuals by involving individuals or the community as a whole for the protection of themselves.

    In the 1800s a Swiss man by the name of Henry Dunant saw the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino. Upon observation, Henry was distraught with what he saw. In fact, Henry was so perplexed by what he witnessed that he wrote a book about it and lobbied for a conference of nations in the hope of agreeing upon the improved handling of enemy soldiers in a time of war. His lobbying inevitably led to both The Hague and Geneva Conventions. Since their conceptions in the 1800s, these conventions have been persistent in setting broader and stricter “rules” for war over time in regards to everything from ammunition and hospitals, to the treatment of both civilians and militants (human rights). These authoritarian standards that are written in black and
