In ”St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves”, Russell writes a short story regarding a group of girls, whose parents are werewolves. Their parent sent them to St. Lucy’s to be reformed into civilized humans and become functional members of society. Russell choses to divide the text into sections using an epigraph explaining what is expected in that stage, consisting of an excerpt from a fictitious guide, The Jesuit Handbook on Lycanthropic Culture Shock. In Stage Two, Russell use the epigraph to describes how the wolf girls should behave and react in this stage. Some characters developed in this image and some stray from the description.
”Sitting directly behind me ... were the missing wolves” (70) As you can see wolves aren't as bad as everyone says because they did not attack him. One way he used Patnos in the book when he used emotion to make you feel something sertion so that you would like wolves and that made me sceptical. He liked to personified the wolves which made it harder to believe. “I found myself calling her Angeline…” he started naming the wolves and we all know when you name something you get close to it
In Mowat’s writing, he uses emotion, facts, and trust to convince the reader that wolves are not bloodthirsty killers. To begin with, Mowat uses emotion to help the reader connect with the wolves. In chapter five he watches as the wolves are “centered around the playing of a game of tag” (64). From this, readers are able to connect with the wolves and understand the joy
One of these uses is the naming of the wolves. Mowat names the wolves based on their charecteristics. He names the male and father of the cubs George, and his mate is named Angeline. The third wolf is given the name Uncle Albert due to the way he treats the cubs and his willingness to assist Angeline in the taking care of the pups. The chapter named Good Old Uncle Albert describes the day Mowat names the third wolf.
One of the many trials the epigraphs describes is daydreaming. All of the wolves “spent a lot of time daydreaming during this period. Even Jeanette” (233). This reinforces that in Stage 2, while Jeanette was certainly ahead of the pack, she still had her own problems in adapting to human culture. While she made herself seem ahead, she was still really just a “wolf, disguised in sheep’s clothing,” and the contrast with the epigraph supports this distinction (232).

In the short story “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves,” author Karen Russell uses short epigraphs to provide a reference for characters’ progress throughout the 5 “stages” present in the story. The story follows a pack of wolf-girls who have been sent to St. Lucy’s, a facility dedicated to helping human children raised by wolf parents adapt to human culture. These “stages” represent the five chapters in the process of adapting, each of which begin with an excerpt, or epigraph, from The Jesuit Handbook on Lycanthropic Culture Shock. These epigraphs describe the emotions and difficulties that the wolf-girls are likely to experience and how the characters will likely act during the stage. However, in Stage 2, when the wolf-girls have started to adapt, it becomes evident that not all characters feel and act as the epigraph predicts.
Also, with the help of Ootek, a local Eskimo he was able to understand how wolves communicate and hunt, and he saw that these wolves were not a tremendous threat to the caribou.

Mowat had many doubts, but he slowly understood the truth about wolves. He also spent time following the wolves as they hunted and he examined their techniques. Mowat even experienced close up encounters and the wolves did not treat him like a foreigner.
It is never good to be judge a book by its cover. This is also applies to people. We cannot judge someone or know everything about a person just by looking at them. We do not know what they have been through, their struggles and life experiences. The novel, Speak written by Laurie H. Anderson, is about a girl name Melinda Sordino, who is a rape victim and a freshman in highschool.
