Theme Of At First Our Pack Was Afterwards

Have you read these stories before? If so you might not have realized how alike they are. All three texts contain more similarities than they contain differences. All the texts are very similar and all contain characters who are in a group that relies on each other. All the texts are very similar in themes because they all follow the same theme “Major conflicts turn to disaster”.All the texts are very similar about conflicts because they all get into a fight physically or mentally with wolves or with another character in the story.
At this point,The characters in the stories are very similar.In the first text it shows how the wolves are a pack and they are in their situation together. One example of this would be ,“At first, our pack was

In this story the theme is “You can't hate on someone for who they are” In the text it states,” In the morning,Mirabella was gone…I didn't want to face Mirabella. Instead, I packed a tin lunch pail for her”(Russell 85). This shows that even after their conflict they still care for Mirabella and help her.In the second story Ulrich and Georg get trapped together under a tree. They already hate each other because of the land. They start to make up but they don't make it to the end. The theme in this story is “No matter how much you reconcile you might not make it to the end” In the text it states,” Who are they? Asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not have seen wolves” (Saki 204). This shows that after they reconcile they don’t make it to the end because wolves come and eat them.Finally, In the last story the theme is “The people who are closer to you can be your biggest enemies”. The husband turns on the wife. In the text it proves this,” I saw him, I had to see him, my own dear love, turned into the hateful one”(Guin 225). This shows how the husband turns on the wife and further proves the theme of the story. One theme that can contribute to all three stories is major conflicts lead to disaster. In the first story they leave one of the wolves from their pack. In the second story wolves

They start to argue with each other and start resenting each other. In the story it states,”Sister Maria frowned, looking more than a little jealous”(Russell 22). In this case,This shows that in the story Maria was more than just jealous of Mirabella. In the second story Ulrich and Georg get into a fight in the woods when Georg is trespassing on land that is not his. In the story it states,” The two enemies stood glaring at one another for a long silent moment. Each had a rifle in his hand, each had hate in his heart and murder uppermost in his mind”(Saki 200). This proves the hate and conflict between Georg and Ulrich. Lastly in the “Wife Story” the husband starts to transform from a wolf to a human and starts to threaten to start attacking his home. In the story it states,”But it picked up a heavy fallen tree-branch in its long white foot and shoved the end of that down into our house”(Guin 225). This shows the conflict and fight between the wife and the husband. As a result,This proves that in all three of the stories that they all share similarities when it comes to conflicts. They each contain a physical or mental battle between
