Personal Reaction:
I like this story. The most important reason why I like this story is that it is talk about how a wolf turned into a were-man, and not like the usual stories, a man turned into a werewolf. This is an exciting story that I would never forget. When I got to the end of the story, then I found out that the family is a wolf family and not a human family. I as confused in the beginning. Le Guin used a suspense tone in the beginning to let people avoid to thinks that the family is really a wolf family. Then she tells how the Wife met the Husband, and how the Wife discovered out that her husband was half wolf, half-human, one she loves, and one she hates. The story ended very sad, the Wife can not have her husband back even though the "man’ died. I almost cried out when I finished with the story.
