Animal Cruelty In 'Call Of The Wild'

Decent Essays
The book ‘’Call of the Wild’’ is a book about a dog named Buck. He is abused all his life until John Thornton saves him. I did not like this book at all. It has too much animal cruelty. It also has too much violence in it. I don’t like this book because it has animal cruelty in it. For example, they beat the dogs with clubs. I believe that it isn’t right to beat animals. The owners also starved them. It definitely isn’t right to keep dogs from eating. The protagonist in the story is Buck. He is also the main character. The antagonist is Spitz. The setting is in Alaska. It is also in the time frame of the Klondike Gold Rush. My opinnion of this book is that I don’t like it. I don’t like ‘’Call of the Wild’’ because it has

    To make me like this book, the author could have condensed it down to a smaller book and got right to the story. It would have also been more interesting if Stewart would have included conversation between the characters not just stating what happened. I mainly did not like the length or the writing style of the novel, but the information included in the book was very good and informed me of the struggles of the Donner party. If you were to read this book, you would have to be good at putting yourself in the time period that the novel was written in, or it will be hard to read. Overall, I thought the book was well written but…
