    Throughout the short story, “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves” by Karen Russell, Claudette displays how she has not fully adapted to human society and reverts back to her origin of the wolf.

She narrows her eyes at Kyle and flattens her ears, (Russell 242) and when the time comes to do Sausalito, Claudette panics and can only remember how to the “pump and pump” (Russell, 243). Claudette advances through the stages as necessary, but in desperate times she forgets everything the nuns have taught her.…

In the distance you hear the quick crunching of the ground. Raising your head, you catch a glimpse of a grey tail with underlying white. You slowly swivel your head back and forth, looking for whatever you may have seen. Once again you hear the footsteps, very quietly fading away into the distance. Seeing past all the evergreens and birches you notice eyes peering, not at you, but into your soul. They are prideful prairie grass colored circles, surrounded by thick black lines with a small black dots in the middle. Around the bright eyes there is white and grey fur, swirling and coming together at the black lines surrounding the yellow. He sits, watching you, the black dots studying you, closely and yours doing the same: both curious. Neither of you are fearful, neither of you are shaken, both of you study each other like biologists.…
