White Fang

White Fang is a book by Jack London that deals with the life of wolves. It begins when some
dogs were pulling the sled across a white desert. In front of the six dogs was a man, behind
from the sled another one and inside, in a box, there was a third. The men moved forward silently without saying a word to each other,
It seemed that in that desert no one could live, but that was not the case.

The men were called Henry in front, Bill behind the sled, and Alfred in the box.

Everyone knew that meat was scarce and that someone was chasing them, the wolves. Night fell and they had to
look for a place to sleep. While Bill was feeding the dogs, Henry was making dinner. Something strange happened.

dogs and there were seven again. The next morning Henry asked if there were seven dogs and Bill told him that
no, there were only five, Gorditono had left.

The hunger was already over, so they continued on their way. A day came when the herd divided into two.
The she-wolf was with one of the younger chiefs. Every day, the rest of the pack was dwindling. Finally

very good.

In Fort Yokón there was a very strange man nobody knew his name and they named him
Beautiful Smith. But if there was one thing this man lacked, it was beauty. He was very ugly; that's why they called him that.
He was the biggest coward in the world, which is why everyone treated him with great tolerance, because they feared that he would...

belt. And the next night the same thing happened and the following morning Smith gave him a beating harder than

White Fang became a fierce beast; they called him the fighting wolf. People could hardly sleep.
I was watching and Smith charged fifty cents to see it. What made White Fang angriest was
that they laughed at him.

Once in a battle, they brought him a dog he had never seen before; it was a bulldog, and its way of fighting was
