Summary
The book The Wolf Girls is a book that explores the mystery of two girls that supposedly were raised by wolves. The book tells the story in three ways and at the end of the book, it gives four commonly believed theories of the Wolf Girls' experiences. The reason there are so many versions and theories is because there wasn't any good documentation of what happened. The book also has details about what the girls looked like, how they behaved, and how they were treated. The main figures in this book are Minister Singh, Amala, and Kamala (the two wolf girls).
What I think the real story is
I Believe that the two girls were really raised by wolfs because they walked and ran on all fours and and that's how wolfs walk, their hands were also calloused from doing so. Other signs of being raised by wolfs was that the girls only ate raw meat and howled like a wolf. all of these characteristics points to the girls being raised by wolfs.
How Singh kept records
Singh made up many storys about the wolf girls. at first he wanted to make it so that nobody knew that they were found with wolfs by saying a holy man had given the girls to him to take care of, but after he found out that the wolf girls were a good source of money he put them on display to make money for the Orphanage. I thought this was very cruel. Singh wrote a journal about how he found the girls, a year after the girls were found. the journal talked about how, when, and where Singh found the two wolf girls. In His Journal Singh says that some villagers from Godamuri asked him to come and scare away some man ghosts. but when Singh saw these man ghosts he realized they were humans, the two wolf girls.
How I would keep records
I would have kept records from the first time I saw them. By doing this i would have made it easier for people to uncover the mystery. if Singh did this there would be less confusion and maybe no mystery.
How Singh cared for the girls
In Singh's journal it says that Singh put the two girls in separate cages, left and put the care of the girls in the villagers hands. The girls were to fed rice mixed with water each day. The villagers were so scared of these children (for they still thought the children were man ghosts and would hurt them) the villagers fled their village and left the girls to starve. when Singh he returned after five days he saw that the villagers were gone and the girls were starved and near death.
How I would care for the girls
What i would do is this: i would have stayed with them no matter what else i had to do, i would have put them in a place where they could be warm and together and watch and care for them myself. I also would let them eat whatever they needed to eat, for if they had been raised by wolfs the food they originally ate was probably better for them.
