Wolves of the Beyond

By: Kathryn Lasky

The conflict in my story right now comes between a mother, her pup and the society. This conflict can be describes as character versus society. The mother births three babies, two like their dad and one silver one. The she-wolf quickly notices that the silver pup has a splayed paw. She knows if she gets caught by the Obea, a barren wolf who takes charge of doing all the dirty work for the pack.  The splayed wolf quickly becomes noticed by the experienced Obea and the baby is left out t o die. The Obea skillfully places the pup on a rock so that when the waves come in the pup will drown.  Dirty jobs include placing abnormal pups, thought to make the pack weak, outside the territory to suffer to death. Since the Obea has no offspring of her own she has no motherly.  Since the Obea has no offspring of her own she has no motherly instinct. Now, the mother and father of the abnormal pup will both be thrown out of the tribe. I predict that the mother of the pup will be reunited with her pup. I think this because something good has to happen in the book in order to keep the reader engaged in the book since everything in the book has been sad so far. The author knows that if nothing favorable has happens readers will become bored.
