The book “Call of the Wild”, in my opinion, was an outstanding book so far. This book is about a dog named Buck who gets kidnapped from the Sun kissed Santa Clara Valley way back in fall of 1897, consequently taken to the Klondike Gold Rush. Here Buck has been sold around to be a sled dog. Buck is sold to two men named Perrault and Francois. These two men are heading towards Dawson ( a city rich in yellow metal) with a sled team of dogs. Buck was a sled dog. As you know it takes more than one…

The Klondike Gold Rush My book is about a story called white fang. The book is about a boy named Scott and a hybrid wolf dog named, White Fang. The story takes place in the 1890’s in Alaska, during the Klondike Gold Rush. The start of the book shows how hard life in Alaska was during this time. There was freezing weather, hardly any food, and most people made their own rules and laws. When someone died, they had to carry the body out of the wilderness because the ground was to frozen to bury…

important build in U.S. history that helped smoothly connect the states together, to give people an easier and safer way to travel and ship goods from place to place. The West had very few lines and had none connecting to the east. So when the California Gold Rush hit and they had no good way of getting out to the West people decided it was about time they get one. Sadly there was one big problem. That problem being the unforgiving terrain the line would inevitably have to go through to connect…

The constellation I have chosen to study for this assignment is that of Lupus. Lupus is Latin for “wolf” and is located in the southern hemisphere and was one of the 48 original listed by Ptolemy, a second century astronomer, despite previously being an asterism associated with Centaurus. In mythology, it is thought that Lupus represents the African dog of the first King of Arcadia. It wasn’t until Ptolemy called the constellation “Lupus” that the constellation was associated with the wolf as…

Chinese immigrants arrived by all means of transport; and despite barriers, they flooded into the United States. In 1880, according to the “Background Timeline of Chinese Immigration and Exclusion”, the Chinese population in the America passed one hundred thousand and seemed to still increasing rapidly. Such large number of “foreigners” raised the…

In To Build A Fire, the man’s attitude towards the land changes drastically as the situation becomes a matter of life or immediate death. In the beginning of the story, the man is very confident in his ability to survive the journey in the wilderness, despite being a chechaquo or “newcomer in the land.” (Allen et al., 2012, p. 82) He was not prepared with the necessary equipment or knowledge for this journey. He didn’t protect his cheeks or nose, which would eventually suffer from frostbite.…
