Comparison on:

The Interlopers and The Third Day of The Wolf

The story The Interlopers , is about two men fighting over a

strip of land. Ulrich von Gradwitz was the owner of the land. Georg

Znaeym was the intruder. For many years these two families have

never gotten along. By the end of the story, both men realize the they

were both fighting over petty things. They really didn t have a good

reason to hate each other. So, as they were both forgive each other

for the many years of hatred, they get eaten by a pack of wolves.

In the poem The Third Day of The Wolf , a wolf enters a city in

Canada. The is a huge three day man-hunt for the wolf. As the wolf

runs scared, confused, and lost through the city, men with torches,

guns, and whistles chase him. The wolf can smell the men and the

artillery of weapons. Planes dive downward chasing the wolf toward the

man-made shield of devastation. Finally, cornered, the wolf with its

mad yellow eyes, and aching empty belly gets a shot from one of the

hunters. The shot didn t kill it, the wolf was then beaten. That as well

didn t kill it, it was then shot once more, which was finally the moment

of expiration on the wolf s life.

These two ensembles of literature where alike in some ways, but

then different in others. Both tales ended in sheer brutal death for the

trespasser. The victims which were killed, were founded trapped with

nowhere to go, knowing their end had come. Both pieces were written

by a male author, which shows that there is going to be death in the

sections. Both were placed in the cold winter season. Though one is a

poem and one is a story, both of them have the same suspense,

which drives readers the press on and finish reading the story . In

both pieces the victims were in an unfamiliar area. The wolf in the

city, and the men in the woods. Both had a moral the their stories.

The poem mentioned how man uses guns and helicopters to help

make them more powerful then nature. The story made me feel that

its never to late to start over, you re never to hateful to forgive and be

the bigger man.
