The first opinion is the one the government wants to impress on people, and it is the one that most people believe. They believe that the decline in the population of deer is being caused by the wolves. “…because their grievance is the complaint that the wolves are killing all the deer, and more and more of our fellow citizens are coming back from more and more hunts with less and less deer” (Mowat 9). They believe that the wolves are vicious and that they kill for enjoyment.

In Angela Carter’s “The Company of Wolves” the wolves are perceived as dangerous and aggressive creatures posing threat to humans. In small villages, the children are given weapons just to protect themselves from the evil wolves. However, in Angela Carter’s story, a male can turn into a wolf.

In Emily Carroll’s graphic novel “Through the Woods” we are given a view into the vast and mysterious world that contains the stories that are throughout the novel. The novels goal is to portray how we as humans expect the threats to our lives to come from something outwardly and obviously vicious such as a carnivorous wild wolf, however; we almost never expect the less obvious “wolves” that don’t present themselves to us as forwardly or aggressively as an actual wolf would.

The young woman is being brought from her boarding school in the city to live with her older brother and his wife, Rebecca, in the country. In the
Wolves, no matter the time of year, are always on the move and hunting, especially during the winter time when food sources are scarcer, but the amount of food that the wolves are able to kill effect not only them, but have a direct correlation between them and the survival and reproduction for many scavenger species that are within that ecosystem. Many of these scavengers depend on the wolves’ ruminants as food source, so without wolves in certain environments, these scavenger species
