When John first realizes a wolf is shadowing him, he is tempted to kill it, but instead, leaves it be and as a result it begins to grow on him. John names the wolf "Two Socks", and describes it as having "keen eyes and ears [that] alert [him] when something is wrong." A trusting alliance is formed in this part of the movie as John confides in the wolf. Furthermore, the significance of an animal close to John impacts him greatly as his emotional attachment and association to that animal is shown when it dies. When the slaughtered buffalo are discovered by John and the Indians, he characterizes that whoever would have done such a thing is "without value [and] without soul." John perceives the buffalo as sacred which is largely influenced by his new way of life. The appreciation John felt towards the buffalo, reflects his loss of something he honored. Conversely, Will demonstrates affection for an animal which provides him with company. In the novel, when Will is face to face with a bear, he chooses to spare it's life instead of killing it. Will develops a certain connection with the bear and enjoys its visits. Will states "My bear came to me, and she was old enough and smart enough to sniff carefully, but she learned to trust me, too."(JosephBoyden155) Will associates with the bear as his own and accredits a common ground of trust and assurance. With this in mind, when Will discovers his sow slaughtered in the forest, this demonstrates the destruction Will undergoes. He epitomizes the massacred bear describing is by saying "Your chest was exposed, the bald patches of your pale skin giving way to the rip of the knife that gutted you.... You were drained. And I was, too."(165) As a result, a part of Will was defeated as well, when the bear her took refuge in was left in…

Organized in the 1960s at the height of the American Civil Rights Movement, the Black Panther Party emerged as a revolutionist group pioneering a strategy of militancy. The Party's aims were to eliminate the discrimination challenging African-Americans in America since the time of slavery, and to protect their communities from police brutality. Inspired by contemporary radical leaders such as Malcolm X, the party recognized that in order to restructure American society so that civil equality was obtainable by all people, a much stronger opposition was necessary. Party members felt the passive resistance adopted by their predecessors fighting for equality proved futile, and therefore the Party endorsed new tactics of self-defense and violent resistance to secure their political and social rights as American citizens. However, the promotion and employment of open violence fueled the government with legitimate reason to battle for the Party's eradication. Regardless of its success in instituting innovative community reforms in African-American neighborhoods, during its short existence the Black Panther Party was never able to achieve its fundamental goal of eliminating racial discrimination and ensuring civil equality for all when battling against an America averse to change.…
