For instance Buck went from being a pampered dog to struggling to survive on his own, “[Buck's changes] marked… the decay or going to pieces of his moral nature, a vain thing and a handicap in the ruthless struggle for existence. It was all well enough in the Southland, under the law of love and fellowship, to respect private property and personal feelings; but in the Northland, under the law of club and fang, whoso took such things into account was a fool, and insofar as he observed them he would fail to prosper”(London 12). Buck is new to having to fend for himself and survive on his own without the assistance of others. Throughout the book you can see Buck's changes going from a pampered dog to one who has to learn from his surroundings and adapt to survive in different conditions. Buck's surroundings and the outside world have a big impact on him
