Book Title: Julie of the Wolves
Author: Jean Craighead George
Publisher: Harper & Row
By: DK 7C
This collage is made to express and explain the settings ofJulie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead
George published by Harper & Row.
How do the pictures chosen explain the setting of the novel?
Firstly, I chose a photo of oil barrels in Alaska. This
picture represents the geographical and historical
setting of the story.Julie of the Wolves takes place
entirely in Alaska in the late twentieth century. In
fact, author does not tell exact time period of this
story. However, oil barrels on the field Julie sees
indicate the historical setting of this story is the
late twentieth century because oil production in
Alaska started in 1967.
Secondly, a picture of Alaskan tundra shows the
physical setting of the story. This is because most
of the action of the story takes place on theAlaskan open tundra. Julie gets lost on the tundra
running away from Daniel who attempts to hurt
her. She uses fathers teachings to survive in her
Arctic surroundings. For example, she creates
shelters for herself and gets food by
communicating with the wolves she encounters on
the tundra.

Next, a love symbol image is related to the
emotional setting of the story. Julie loves the wolves
not only because they provide her with food but
because they protect her from danger on the tundra.
At the same time, she also tries to protect them
from the harmful hunters. She develops a very
unusual love relationship with them. For instance,
she even builds a totem when Amaroq, alpha male,
dies.
Then, the picture of odd one out expresses the
emotional setting for this story, too. It is because
Julie is a human and the others are all wolves with
her. Thus, she must feel lonely. She has no one to
talk to or play delighting games with. This is why
odd one out picture shows her lonesome life in a
pack of wolves.
In addition, I decided to choose this photo of smiling
face that represents the emotional setting of the
story. This is because when Julie is accepted to join
the wolf pack, she is so happy and excited to see thepups grow and discover new facts from them.
Especially, when she help Kapu, one of the pups,
heal from his injury, she is happy and satisfied with
her work.

T o conclude,Julie of the Wolves takes place in the Alaskan tundra in the late twentieth century. The
emotional setting of this story is love. Especially, love between the wolves and Julie is impressive.
She learns their gestures and mimics them to be accepted from a pack of wolves. They protect each
other from dangers and shares what they have. This great adventurous story also gives me many
lessons such as love, courage, and challenge.
Finally, atmospheric setting of this story is
represented by this adventurous cats picture.
Julie This story tells about the thrilling
adventures of Julie. A thirteen year old girl isnever afraid of harsh situation. Instead, like a
cat with many dogs, she courageously goes
through hardships to survive on the
unforgiving Arctic tundra using Eskimo
knowledge: When fear seizes, change what
you are doing. You are doing something
wrong.
