A Powerpoint by Charlie Urban-Mead

White Fang (protagonist) White Fang is a mixed-blood canine. He is three quarters Alaskan sled dog and one quarter wolf. He is, according to the book, more gifted by nature than most dogs, with better reflexes. When he runs into a group of Native Alaskans and is defended by his mother, Kiche , both are claimed and adopted by Grey Beaver, the leader of the group, since Kiche was Grey Beaver’s brother’s. Grey Beaver names him White Fang because he was snarling at the Indians with his tiny white fangs. At the camp, he has a rough childhood and is eventually sold to a dog fighter, which he excels at because of his reflexes.

Beauty Smith (Antagonist) Beauty Smith’s real name is unknown by everyone, according to the book. When he was young, he was called “Pinhead. ” He was nicknamed “Beauty” by the people living with him because he is so ugly. He is racist, and hates anything to do with foreigners. Therefore, he loves to watch White Fang fight with and hurt foreign dogs. One day, he approaches Grey Beaver and tries to buy White Fang, but Grey Beaver will not sell him. Eventually, Grey Beaver becomes a drunkard and, in return for several bottles of beer gives White Fang to Beauty is a coward, according to the book, and lashes out at anything weaker than himself. Therefore, he is cruel to White Fang.

Beauty Changes White Fang As a dog fight coordinator, Beauty “toughens up” White Fang by keeping him in a small cage all the time on low rations. This enrages White Fang, and he would try to attack the cage in his anger and Beauty would laugh. This always enraged White Fang further, until he ignored all of his instincts. Eventually, that came to be how he lived: enraged to the point where anything he saw, he attacked and, if it were killable, killed. This is how White Fang changed to be a fighting dog.

Conflict One day, out in the woods to avoid the police, White Fang is set against a bulldog named Cherokee is somewhat slow and easy for White Fang to slash, but he seems not to feel the pain, and after many large slashes against his throat, keeps trying to get White Fang into his huge jaws. Eventually, White Fang goes for Cherokee’s throat, and gets it. However, in the process, Cherokee gets his jaws around White Fang’s throat. They scratch at each other, but Cherokee is winning, and the only one still betting on White Fang is Beauty Smith. Finally, the police come as White Fang is dying, and they break up the fight.

Resolution When the police discover a series of dogfights, they come to break it up, just in time to save White Fang. A man who came along with the police to help, Weedon Scott, decided to adopt the half-dead White Fang. He teaches White Fang to live well again and he teaches White Fang to love mankind, rather than hate and worship it at the same time. White Fang thinks of him as the “lovemaster. ” One day, Scott must return to his family in California, and so he locks White Fang in the house, but White Fang breaks a window to get to Scott, so Scott decides to bring him to California.
