Whenever someone loses a family or a loved one, they are often found by someone who becomes their companion. Both books share this idea but with different events and experiences. For example, in “Boy21”, Matthew Quick shows the idea with his own twist. He shows that when Russ loses his family, he goes into depression but Finley finds him and becomes his companion. Similarly, in the book, “Wolf Brother”, Michelle Paver shows that Torak loses his father who was his only family and then he becomes determined and thirst for vengeance. So in both books, we learn that life always creates someone for us but it is up to us to take that positively or negatively.
A common theme both books share is that accepting life’s ways and trusting it but still making your choices. In “Boy 21”, Russ sinks into depression and sadness after his parent’s death due to loneliness. However Finley comes and saves him by bringing him back to the world and gets Russ to do things he loves which makes him more connected to the world again. In “Wolf Brother”, Torak becomes motivated for vengeance but then meets wolf who gets Torak to realize that forgiveness is better than revenge which calms Torak’s thirst for revenge and he realizes the reality of life and to accept the fate.
Although both texts are sharing the same idea, there are differences in the course and events which lead to the realization. In “Boy 21” Quick shows the negatively and the negative impacts on the person. The person going through the event sinks into depression and isolates himself/herself from the world. In contrast, in “Wolf Brother”, Paver shows the positiveness and the determination in the outcomes of these tragedies. This book shows that can also get positively impacted by these negative tragedies, it isn’t always negative. Quick’s book explains the usual situations and how people deal with the pain and loss whereas Paver explains the unusual and uncommon scenarios of dealing with the pain and loss.
There were different ways and craft Matthew Quick and Michelle Paver used in their books “Boy 21” and “Wolf Brother”, respectively. Both authors used Inner Thinking to show the ways the protagonist was trying to deal with the pain and loss but in different styles. Quick used it to show Russ’s thoughts and the way he used Space as a distraction from his current situation. The difference was that he used this in the perspective of the main protagonist so styled his writing to compare Russ’s feelings and the protagonist’s views. Paver however used a different style. She used it to show the impact Wolf’s presence and actions had on Torak’s situation. She personified Wolf as a guidance to show his impact more efficiently. The difference was that she showed the impact and actions through the perspectives of both Torak and Wolf.
In both books, “Boy 21” and “Wolf Brother”, the authors Matthew Quick and Michelle Paver, respectively, show that whenever someone loses a family or a loved one, they are often found by someone who becomes their companion They also show that people do not always get impacted negatively as that is what is assumed by most people. People also get positively impacted. Then they show the impact the different individuals can have on the protagonist’s life, positively or negatively.
