Granny is always ready to defend Elsa when she gets in trouble at school or when Elsa is upset by Mum and Dad’s divorce. Elsa, however, considers Granny to be her personal superhero. An orderly type who is always in control, Mom is often frustrated by Granny’s impulsive antics. Mum is pregnant with Elsa’s half-sibling. Elsa lives with her Mum (Granny’s daughter) and Mum’s boyfriend George in an apartment across the hall from Granny. ![]() Granny, a former surgeon who traveled all over the world saving children’s lives, is an eccentric with a great disregard for rules and conventions.

He shows unique attributes, which prompt his mother to care for him. He was born of a mixed heritage, to a wolf paternity and a mother bearing a mixed heritage of wolf and dog. This fact is emphasized by London’s decision to name the story after him. White Fang is the main character of the story. In view of this, this paper focuses on the attributes of the characters and their adaptability to different circumstances. It should be noted that this book complements the themes advanced in his earlier publication “The Call of the Wild”, by showing how a naturally domesticated animal may revert to freedom present in nature and the wilderness.

If I lose, it's not the end of the world. But if I play well and lose, like the Miami game with Jannik Sinner, I go out with my head held high. It all depends on how you win and how you lose.
