We think he’ll turn 7/8 in April, so he’s past his prime, but he’s still hunting bison. But as Smith observes, 495 is still a pretty remarkable wolf. “I just started thinking in my head as I looked at him that this is the kind of wolf that remoteness produces.” At 147 pounds, 760M replaces the previous record holder for the largest wolf in Yellowstone, 495M, who weighed in at 143 pounds. Smith points out that 760M lives in the most remote area of the Yellowstone and of the lower 48 states. And for the first time I thought that this is a wolf who truly has secrets.” As a scientist you always take the viewpoint that you can find answers. “I’ve handled hundreds of wolves, so I have sort of gotten hardened to the process. But this year during his annual winter research, he was taken aback by the sight of a remarkable wolf his team captured for study, 760M, now the largest wolf ever recorded in Yellowstone.

They spark a transformation in the classroom, compel them to listen and force her to take off her idealistic blinders and take in the kids' survival stories of their undeclared war on the streets. A racially motivated gang shooting witnessed by a Latina gang member in Erin's class, and an ugly racial cartoon that Erin intercepts during class, become the most unwittingly dynamic teaching aids. But then ghetto reality steps in to focus the picture. Despite her students' obstinate refusal to participate during class, Erin tries various means to engage them on a daily basis. On the surface, the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear. Her class, a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life-African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods-hope for nothing more than to make it through the day. Fresh-faced, idealistic twenty-three-year-old Erin Gruwell is ready to take on the world as she steps inside Wilson High School for her first day of teaching. To better illustrate his point of view, Leo Tolstoy gives a very vivid and detailed summary of Ivan Ilych’s life. This scene reveals their real attitude toward Ivan Ilyich and it enables us to see that he was only a means of getting promotion, rather than a friend or at least human being. Moreover, some of them are not even sure if they would visit his family because “they live so terribly far away” (Tolstoy, 1). Tolstoy says that the main character was “liked by them all” (Tolstoy, 1) however, at the given moment their major concern is promotion opportunities that would be offered to them after their friend’s demise. Overall, Tolstoy’s novella eloquently proves that only material aspirations can utterly dehumanize a person.Īt first, the author shows how Ivan Ilyich’s colleagues receive the news of his death. Furthermore, Tolstoy employs the plot of the novella as the key driver of his ideas in particular, we need to speak about reverse chronological order of events. It's a great 'first person, but not first person' approach. I especially loved the fact that, because Tink is narrating, you get the feeling that you are actually watching the scene when the main character isn't thinking straight, you can see it from all points of view, not just what is inside their head and nobody else's. I'm quite worried that I'm giving you the wrong impression of this book though - it's not some average clichéd love story, it's really quite moving and dark. Jodi Lynn Anderson has obviously thought in depth about the details, and the reader learns about the type of Faerie that Tink is, about the cultures and traditions of Tiger Lily's village, and about the dangers and darkness hiding within Neverland. While narrating the story, Tinker Bell reveals her own thoughts too, some of which resulted in me completely melting down, not necessarily out of sadness, though! I went through whole school days unable to think about anything else apart from my strong desire to finish this book, which had me hooked from the first word. It is actually quite a cosy read, despite its subtle darkness, and it was completely entrancing. Told from the perspective of Tinker Bell, this dark and chilling retelling of J.M.Barrie's classic fantasy both moved and captivated me.
