2. Characterization
Well developed characterization throughout the
entire book
Billy
16yr old with a lot of spunk and has no problem going out of his
way to help someone or something
Boyd
14yr old with the mouth to ask a question a minute
Pap
Nice man who wants to teach his kids the ropes
Mom
Thinks Boyd asks too many questions
3. Setting
• I get the feeling
of dense woods
as the beginning
unfolded but as it
went on there
was a transition
to the dry plains
in Arizona and
into the Mexican
Mountains
6. Plot
This all revolves around Billy who is
so infatuated with catching this Wolf
he has no clue what he’s going to do
with it.
Once he catches it he wants to take it
home but realizes he can’t do that so
he set out to take it to the mountains
of Mexico where it came from so that
it may deliver it’s pups.
9. Theme
The lesson for me in this book was do well
for others even if you’re in immediate threat
of being mauled to death
Another thing that stood out was how
courteous Billy was it seemed no matter
what situation he always said please and
thank you with no back talk
Keeping your composure was what
seemed to be another big part of the novel
