What do these early relationships between young wolf pups say about personality, temperament, and instinct in wolf pups? How do these early traits manifest as the young wolves begin to grow older? Which traits does Wander maintain consistently to the end of the novel, and how does his perspective change because of his interactions with his siblings?
Imagine that you are asked to explain the values that Mother and Father espouse in the way that they lead their pack.
