"After her father's death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all," (41). Miss Emily might have stayed out of the public eye after these two deaths because she was finally alone, something she in her petty life was not used to. E .....

He lays low, learning Spitz's every tactic. Buck adapts to circumstances until finally he strikes against Spitz in a fight for the dominant position. By killing Spitz, he gains a supreme air, and in turn an adaptation against the law of the fang. A third example surfaces during Buck's leadership. The fled .....
