Report on, The Loop by Nicholas Evans

Title: The Loop Year of Publication: 1998 Author: Nicholas Evans Publisher: Delacorte Place of Publication: USA Text Type: Novel Summary: The Loop by Nicholas Evans is about the bitter debate over the reintroduction of the wolves into the American west. When a pack of wolves move back into the Montana ranching country, they ignite a conflict that comes between family and friends. At the centre of the conflict is a rancher Buck Calder and wolf biologist …

…killed them off last time, this time we should be protecting them. This point of view was also brought out in the text because the ranchers were betrayed negatively. Buck Calder was shown to be pig headed and arrogant where Helen Ross was the opposite being nice and easy to get along with. I agree with Nicholas Evans on this issue because wolves are apart of that ecosystems and have a right to live there.
