“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” Viktor E. Frankl said. In “The Call of the Wild”, Buck has been kidnapped and he can’t change the situation, he has to learn and adapt to survive in the environment, similarly in the “Born Worker”, Jose and his family are very poor, he needs to do everything he can not rely on others. In the fictional novel The Call of the Wild by Jack London and the fictional short story “Born Worker” by Gary Soto, the authors focus on the description of the protagonist and how they change to meet their challenges. Although they live in different condition, Buck and Jose both learn from their interactions with others and the problems they face.
