I want to use this quote from White Fang, “White Fang knew the law well: to oppress the weak and obey the strong.” 

I think this is a very important quote to the book because it carries on throughout his life. He learns who’s weak and how to defeat the weak. He knows who he follows and who he can defeat. A perfect example of to oppress the weak is when he was a sled dog he knew the other dogs were weaker than him and if any dog showed any sign of that White Fang would take their food. The other dogs caught onto this and would eat quicker because of it. An example of to obey the strong was when Wolf Fang obtained a new human master that showed dominance over him. He knew he was to obey them. I think it’s really interesting how London made this narrative through the wolf’s eyes so spot on. He really makes it seem as a dog would see things and react. I would be interested to see how correct London was as to how a dog/wolf thinks. I really hope in the future someone creates technology to see inside a dog’s mind.
