Time flies. During last nine weeks, I have shared nine posting about the animal I love most-wolf. Although it’s a little bit tired to squeeze this homework into my busy Thursday schedule, I learn a lot from this, including knowing more about wolf, practicing how to turn my though to an article and so on. In the last posting, I want share what I gain to you. Please enjoy it.   When I choose wolf as my English topic, it is because of my great love on wolf, but I still feel a little worried that whether I can write ten posting about wolf. However, as I write more and more about this animal, I find more and more things to write. When I search some materials for article, I understand more about wolf. In fact, what I think is most difficult is that how to tell everyone what I know in English and have to let people understand. Every time I write my blog, I always sit in front of my computer trying to write a word down. But because of these practicing, I can write more flu...

They love each other so much that they rather to give up everything to stay with each other. As they plan to elope from Viktor but failed, they are caught by vampire soldiers. Sonja is sentenced to death and burned in the sunlight, but Lucian escape and swear to take revenge. He unite all slave Lycans and werewolves to raid the vampires and gain a complete victory. In this battle, Viktor is almost killed and forced to hide for recuperating. The war of vampires and Lycans has begun.

It is a true story happened in America during 1889 to 1894.There is a wolf king which are very famous for its slyness named Lobo.What Lobo and its follower eat are the beautiful heifers( 小母牛 ) and that costs a great loss of herdsmen.Sometimes the pack attack and kill thousands of sheep just for entertainment and no wolf take a bite on these sheep.However,no matter how hard shepherds try,they can not stop Lobo.Hunters use poisoned baits,traps or let dogs to hunt the wolves,but no one succeed.When the local people almost want to give up,they accidentally catch one wolf belonging in Lobo’s pack-it is a beautiful female white wolf whose name is Blanca.It is not only one of followers of Lobo but also the wife of Lobo and is brutal killed by the angry herdsmen.After Lobo knows that Blanca is dead,people can hear Lobo’s dolorous whine through all night.When the sun rises,people find Lobo is caught by traps with no struggling or howling.Lobo gives up its kingdome,disbands its followers ...

After Wolf Totem （狼圖騰） ,this time I want to introduce the book Return to the Pack( 重返狼群 )to you.Not like Wolf Totem,the story teller is a woman,which lead the story to another style.     When the writer come to the grassland of Zoigê county( 若爾蓋草原 ),she hear a story about a wolf family-father wolf steal the livestock for its wife which just give birth to six wolf culbs,but it is unfortunately killed by the herdsmen not just for revenge but for its fur,and the desperate female wolf decide to kill itself to follow its husband,leaving five little wolf.As soon as she hear the story,she come as fast as she can to save these immature lives,but only one is alive when she arrive.

In my last three posting,I wrote the introduction about wolf.In these six weeks,I want to show you some work about wolf that I love very much,including novels and movies.Today the book which I am going to introduce is Wolf Totem （狼圖騰） .   A young Han Chinese person( 漢人 ) and a Steppe Wolf( 蒙古草原狼 ) meet in the steppe.He is the one who murder its brothers and sisters,who keep it before it open its eyes,and who let it lose the most precious thing the wolf can have-freedom.The story is told by the leading man.Following his words,we come to the primitive steppe that only the ancient Mongol and animals live in.Human,every kinds of animals and God all try their best to keep the fragile balance in the steppe,but when outsiders come to this holy land,is it able to be still? Once the steppe is destroyed,there is no going back.       What touch me most is the part that how wolf cub and writer interact and the story takes place o...

In my second post,I gave you some tips to recognize dogs and wolves,and I want to show the details of the wolf so that you can know this mysterious animal.     Wolves are the biggest canines,and once are the most wide-spreaded mammals in the world.However,because overhunted by human and the destruction of their natural habitat,the number of wolf has decreased rapidly.Fortunately,some nations are making laws to protect them and give back their home land so they are able to have a place to bring up their kids.     Wolves often hunt deer,rabits and sheep as their daily food,and they also eat mouse and voles.When time is hard, even carrion is one of important food resources.That is why wolves are indispensable in the nature.They hunt big animals and eat weak ones to make sure that only the stronger ones can past their genes.They eat mouse and voles to keep grassland from overeaten by mouse and voles.They eat carrion to prevent disease fro...

   Both belonging to the canines,dogs and wolves are somehow very close in blood.Although there are dozens of varietis of dogs,all of them can still mate with wolves and give birth to the progeny.In fact,some dogs,especially husky,are often mistaken for wolves.Today,I am going to show you guys a few tips to differentiate these two animals. 1. Eye:As the wild animals,wolves’ eyes are cold and savage,which spell death.However,as man’s best friends,dogs’ eyes are usually warm and soft. 2. Sound:Maybe the memory of ancestors still running in the blood,dogs can bark and howl,but wolves only connect others by howling. 3. Tail:Wolves’ tails are often furrier and bigger than dogs’,so wolves can’t wag their tails so fluently and beautifully as dogs do.That is why people can easily recognize two of them by seeing their tails. 4. Paw:Wolves’ paws are much bigger than dogs’ because they need to chase their preys in the sno...

I know most people are confused that why I chose “wolf”as my topic.The reason that I love wolf can be traced back to my childhood.I have liked reading novels about animals and been familiar with this animal since I was very young.However,fairy tales and many story are exactly the crime culprit that caused so many misunderstanding on wolf.Once while I was looking for new books,one named LANG,WANG-MENG( 狼王夢 )jumped into my sight,and the story has started to change my thought on wolf. All fairy tales tell us wolf is a kind of greedy,cruel and stupid animal,but after finishing the book and doing some research,I realize that wolf is far more than we say.Wolves don’t kill more than they need,and they value what they have,never wasting.Wolves are surely cruel to enemy,but they are charitable to their children.Wolves’wisdom is undeniable,and people now still often learn from them.I want to show everyone with different features of wolf like their mystery,cleverness,and when people read...
