Michael Kane 5-20-10 Pd 3 Ko and White Fang Are Different Yet Similar In the book __So Far From the Bamboo Grove by Yoko Kawashima Watkins__ and the book __White Fang by Jack London__ the two characters Ko and White Fang are different yet similar. Ko is in World War II and she has to eat anything that she can find to stay alive in those harsh conditions. White Fang lives in the arctic and is raised by the She Wolf who is a great hunter. When she dies White Fang has to hunt for every piece of his food.

White Fang
In the book __So Far From the Bamboo Grove__ the character Ko is very courageous because she went into the Korean farmer’s garden and stole the crops. She gave them to her family because there was no other food even though she knew that she could be caught. Ko is also very intelligent because she went to a college in Kyoto, Japan and does very well. The college gives he a quality education and helps her get a job in Japan. However Ko is powerless because she is in the middle of World War II and the Korean Communist Army is after her and her family. She can’t do anything about it because she is only a girl that doesn’t have anything but the trash from the public garbage can to eat.

Ko
In the book __White Fang__ the character White Fang the character White Fang, similarly to Ko is courageous. He is courageous because he fights with some of the best dogs or numerous amounts of dogs at the same time. This makes him courageous because he did not back down from the fight. Like Ko White Fang is very intelligent, he is intelligent because he how to get away from things that can harm him. For example when his owners were trying to shoot him because he would not obey them he ran in the corner so it would be easier for him to dodge the bullet fired at him. Although Ko is powerless White Fang is very powerful because he killed so many dogs that tried to fight him but never was wounded. He also killed multiple dogs at a time and he still made it look easy.

Ko and White Fang both many similarities with each other and also many differences. They are both courageous and intelligent but White Fang has much more power than Ko. In White Fang and So Far From the Bamboo Grove both character have struggles to stay alive, weather it is from humans killing you or from World War II these two characters are struggling a lot.
