Remembering the time when her sword punctured the man that she once called father. Yukiko waked up from her coma, and scratched her curly eyebrows, “Why must I suffer from this, WHY!” she ran out the tent and began slicing anything that lay in her way. “I hate YOU!” She chanted and with one final torrential blow, the tent was sliced right into two. There are ways that she could have taken, but she had chosen the path that she knows she will regret for eternity and she also knew that there is no way of turning back. She laughed bitterly. “Father, you will never get what you want!” Yukiko said in the cold night. “You will never ever GET IT!” she ran off into the forest and she screamed crazily through the tress, hungry predictors were lurking onto her, spit dripping from their aggressive teeth. Yukiko punched the tree, unable to escape the reality; she punched it again, and again. Her fists bleed heavily; the tree was stained with her red crimson blood. “WHY!!” She screamed. Just then, a wolf launched itself out of the bushes and growls, exposing its gruesome jaws. Yukiko concentrated on the stained blood, laughing. More wolves appeared. They surrounded her, prepared to take a bite into the human flesh. Their yellow eyes flashes in the ominous forest, one of them howls. The feast had begun.
The wolves jumped at her, death is imminent, Yukiko screamed in rage, with one quick trained wakizashi sliced the three wolves lay dead on the grass. “Concentrate of hitting me with the sword” A voice she heard before replayed in her ears. “ARHHHHH!”
She thrusted forward, jabbed her sword into the other foolish animal, and yanks it out while slicing a second one’s head, decapitating it. “Don’t let the surroundings fool you” Just then a wolf for...

...er. Looks like there’ll be more corpses before sunset Yukiko sneered and let the blade dropped from her sleeves. The wakizashi slid down to her hand, Yukiko is satisfied with how comfortable the handle of the dagger is; how lightweight it was. The most flawless blade for killing. A confident samurai target Yukiko’s head and bring the blade forward. Yukiko danced to the right dodging the unskillful strike and leap forward. The samurai hardly noticed it when the blade cuts through his armour; dismembering him. Another samurai stroke at Yukiko’s legs, unexpected, he was thrown backwards before he could react. “How does she kick so fast?!!” Screeched one of the warriors. Like birds flying away from danger after one of them were killed, the samurais dropped their weapons and ran cowardly. Yukiko smeared, rolled her eyes and wiped her blade clean with her kimono.
of the wolves and finds that they are more than the savage and merciless hunters
McCarthy uses detailed descriptions, creates a somber mood through religious references, and elucidates upon the main character’s perspective to convey the impact of the experience on the protagonist. His actions reveal significant care and respect for the animal, as it seems difficult for the protagonist to cope with the loss of such a great creature. McCarthy portrays the wolf through an uncommon perspective; a frightful and beastly creature is transformed into a magnificent and bold animal. The wolf is pictured as an animal destined for honor and high admiration through its spiritual characteristics. Emphasis on the wolf’s positive qualities reveals human beings’ tendency to ignore the favorable characteristics of an individual or animal. Human beings commonly disregard the inner beauty all creatures possess.
Mowat uses the rhetorical strategy of Logos to try and convince the reader of his claim `that wolves aren’t savage killers by giving the reader evidence that is possible and without emotion. At the beginning of the book, Mowat goes into the “Lupine Project” with the mindset that the wolves are savage killers with no emotion. Mowat later realized when he finally made contact with the wolves that they were conservative and cared for each other. In the text Mowat describes an occasion in which he witnessed when “Angeline would nuzzle her mate... bumping him affectionately with her shoulders”(172). This shows that
Part Two of the novel shifts the narrative perspective to that of the she-wolf. After the famine is over, the wolf pack separates, and the she-wolf and three males travel together, until one of the wolves, “One Eye,” kills the other two. The she-wolf and One Eye travel together, then, until it is time for her to settle down to give birth to her cubs. Another famine comes upon the land when the cubs are still young, and all of the cubs die—except one: a gray wolf cub. This gray wolf is the strongest and the most adventuresome of all the litter. Yet early in his life, he learns how to snare food and along with this ability, he learns the lesson of the wilderness—that is, “eat or be eaten, kill or be killed.”
First came the pride, an overwhelming sense of achievement, an accomplishment due to great ambition, but slowly and enduringly surged a world of guilt and confusion, the conscience which I once thought diminished, began to grow, soon defeating the title and its rewards. Slowly the unforgotten memories from that merciless night overcame me and I succumbed to the incessant and horrific images, the bloody dagger, a lifeless corpse. I wash, I scrub, I tear at the flesh on my hands, trying desperately to cleanse myself of the blood. But the filthy witness remains, stained, never to be removed.
...rward, broke the ring, and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water. At once the crowed surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws (Golding 153).

The first part of the story tells folk tales about the wolf and werewolf. Here, wolves are used as a symbol of fear. It overwhelms the reader with terrifying descriptions of the wolf and shows the reader that the wolf is clearly something that strikes fear into the people in the story. They are described as “forest assassins grey members of a congregation of nightmare” and are known to be worse than “all the teeming perils of the night and the forest, ghosts, hobgoblins, ogres that grill babies upon gridirons, witches”. These monsters are not real and fear for these nonexistent monsters is ridiculous as they are fictional. The fear fo...

Fear of failure and weakness dominates Okonkwo throughout his life. At first this fear motivates him to rise to success by working diligently and doing everything his father did not do. However, even when Okonkwo establishes an honorable reputation, fear of failure continues to overwhelm him and drives him to perform acts that lead to his suffering. One example of this is when the men of Umuofia decide that Ikemefuna must be killed and Okonkwo kills Ikemefuna even though he is told not to partake in the killing of Ikemefuna. Okonkwo panics when Ikemefuna turns to him and cries for help, and without thinking, Okonkwo slays Ikemefuna with his machete. Okonkwo does this because in the split second where Ikemefuna runs to Okonkwo for protection, Okonkwo is overpowered with fear of being seen as weak and kills Ikemefuna. This is an unwise act on behalf of Okonkwo, and as a result, he suffers emotionally in the next few days. He enters a stage of depression and cannot eat or sleep as all he can think about is what he has done to Ikemefuna. It is at this point that things start t...
