Wyatt Haas's Reviews > Woodsong

The title of my book is Woodsong. The author of this book is Gary Paulson.
“I began to understand that they are not wrong or right—they just are. Wolves don't know they are wolves. That's a name we have put on them, something we have done. I do not know how wolves think of themselves, nor does anybody, but I did know and still know that it was wrong to think they should be the way I wanted them to be.” ― Gary Paulsen, Woodsong. That is a quote from the amazing book “Woodsong”.
The book Woodsong is a amazing book. The main characters in the book include Bryan, Bryan’s daughter who the book does not name, and Bryan’s wife who the book also doesn’t name. The theme of the book is to enjoy nature. The setting takes place in northern Minnesota, during winter time. The conflict in the exposition of the book is that the main character “Bryan” runs into a pack of wolves while dog sledding, and the pack of wolves rips a part a deer. Bryan can’t do anything about this happening. The genre of this book is realistic fiction. I know this because this did not actually happen, but it could possibly happen to someone. Also this is realistic fiction because the time period is modern day.
The internal conflict that the character is facing in the book is man vs self because the main character comes across abandoned chicken eggs on he side of the rhode, and he is not sure about what to do. The external conflict in this book is man vs nature because when the main character is dog sledding the temperature drops down to about thirty degrees below zero, and he still has to dog sled twenty miles to get back home.
I really liked the book. There was always an interesting part, and you never wanted to stop reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes animals, and also to people who are in middle school and above.
