Some inspiration from White Fang

By heatherkey1989

I’d really recommend reading *White Fang*. I kept finding lines that just stuck with me, like how the dogs would get all caught up in the hunt, but he never really lost himself. There’s also that whole bit about how he got shaped by people—domesticated wolves, sort of softened by man’s warmth, and then turned bitter and stuck in it. I also liked the simple one about a full stomach making you stop caring as much, and the part where he doesn’t even realize his “fearlessness” is coming from experience. The scariest/most intense section for me is when his time in bondage starts to mess him up—he forgets how to look out for himself, everything gets quiet at night, and he’s basically on edge waiting for something awful. Then he panics and bolts for the village… and it’s not even there anymore. He runs toward the protection he wants from man, and the village has disappeared because he forgot. Anyway, I’m guessing a lot of this is just classic Jack London (credit where it’s due).
