Imagine you are writing a novel about the theme of civilization vs. the wild. Write two or three paragraphs showing one scene in which that theme develops. You can be as creative as you would like with the scene, as long as it clearly connects to the theme of civilization vs. the wild. Use precise words, and try to capture theme through sensory details and imagery.

Fresh snow and ice, silence for miles, and a still, grey sky. Two pointed ears pop out behind a hill. a small snout follows, taking in the fresh morning air. after a careful scan of the frozen tundra a bark signaled the scampering of many paws onto the plan. six tiny puppies played and wrestled at the base of the hill while their mother looked on. There was no fear or tension to be found in this happy scene.

The mother suddenly jumped up. her fur was standing up and her teeth showed. The pups immediately stopped their play. Humans were coming. Sure enough, ten minutes had not passed by before several black vehicles pulled up and parked in front of the hill. Several of them got out and and looked around them. They seemed to talk about something regarding the area. Thirty minutes passed before the shook hands and left. The wolf glanced sadly around her. She had no idea what the humans were doing, but she knew one thing. Her entire pack would ave to move soon. The wolf called her puppies to her and started her last possible journey home.
