-Mr. Lee, I'm middle-aged, I want death. Will I fear death when I'm old?

-I think it's too early to die, teacher. You have goals in your life.

So are we the yellow race? Our physical features are different, for example, my eyes are not slanted like you.

Your gene pool expanded after the great migration. You exchanged genes with Arabs and westerners.

When we look at the Hun dynasty, it can be easily seen how similar we are.

Motif is defined as a minor element of storytelling. It has a traditional definition as an indivisible element of the story in terms of the qualities it contains. At the same time, the concept of motif is the indivisible, indivisible thematic units that appear in different works. Elements that are repeated in various literary texts and that have a special meaning are also called motifs. The motif, which has various definitions, is the smallest expression codes that are emphasized in literary works in similar ways and leave permanent traces in people's minds. So much so that when these ciphers are brought together, the plot will be understood by those familiar with similar texts.

Literature is an art that feeds on rich resources. The fact that it is such an art reveals that it is fed from a source called mythology. Mythology emerged as an act of making sense of life and nature. Literature also serves the same purpose as mythology, but aesthetic pleasures also play a role in this interpretation process. The nourishment of literature from the source called mythology is in two ways: the structure of works dealing with extraordinary narratives and the mythological aspects in works based on possibility rather than extraordinary. Feeding from sources reveals two different ways in terms of revealing the relationship: When an extraordinary work is examined - a work with a predominant motif - having the mythological knowledge of the culture in which that work was written, and being able to decipher the codes require expertise. When we start to examine a work based on possibility, a work that has decreased in terms of motif, we cannot ignore that the works can give the motifs as symbols or images, sometimes they can take place in the form of metaphor or reference, as well as form the main fiction of the work, Mr. Lee.

-Dragon motif is famous in our culture, teacher.

The wolf motif, which has an important place in Turkish culture, takes its source from the old Turkish communities. The concept of animal-ancestor that developed in relation to the wolf, state, sovereignty, etc. It has also become the symbol of the elements, and has gained various meanings related to the elements of the sky and the earth. Occupying a great place in mythology, the wolf has taken the leading role in our oral literature, including in the Oguz Kagan Epic and the Ergenekon Epic. Cosmology of the ancient Turks is among the fields in which the wolf plays the leading role. Considering this sentence, we cannot ignore saying that the wolf is the representative of the light and the values ​​associated with it. While the wolf motif has such an important place in our culture, it continues to exist strongly in our current age. It has not only taken place in epics in literary yields, but also showed itself in novels. In our work in question, I will try to analyze the wolf motif based on the story of the same name in Halide Edip Adıvar's "The Wolf Climbing the Mountain" and Cengiz Aytmatov's novel "Female Wolf "members" and try to analyze how they work the motif for you.

The narrator, speaking from the first singular point of view, is inspired by the French work that a Turkish poet he knows told him about, and delves into the dream of a wolf. In the second event, which is placed within this frame, what a child sees between sleep and wakefulness is presented by the "I" narrator.

The wolf tale, which has surreal lines and listened to by a small child in a devastated poor house, constitutes a third text circle. At the end of the story, the narrator, who wakes up from his dream, expresses the feelings that the tale awakens in him. The story told by the child in the dream that the narrator imagines and the wolf that wakes him up come together in the last scene. The boy, who has been transformed from the moment he encounters the gray wolf, finally becomes a wolf and takes an oath to fight by climbing the mountain like the wolves indicated in the fairy tale, whose homeland has been invaded.

The starting point of the wolf motif is Alfred de Vigny's "Death of the Wolf". In the work of the French writer, the story is this: One day, hunters raid the wolf province. In this raid, the father wolf, who wants to protect his mate and cubs, throws himself in front of the hunters and distracts the hunters. Meanwhile, the she-wolf and the baby wolf find the opportunity to escape. But at the end of the poem, the hunters b
