The American classic that I have chosen to read and write a report about was The Call of The Wild written by Jack London. My passion for dogs motivated me to read this American classic. I have two dogs—a Chihuahua and a Golden Retriever. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to read a book about dogs. The story shows the perspective of the main character, who is a dog named Buck. In addition, I thought I could learn some things about the behavior of dogs and the way they think. Also…

More importantly, this short story reflects what London learned in the Yukon Territory. The story started off as an unnamed man leaves the Yukon Trail at an extremely cold winter morning and hoped to rejoin his associates at a mining camp later that evening, where a nice fire and tasty bacon are awaiting him. The only companion the man has along the way was a large native husky dog, which was described to be more like a wolf. This husky was reluctant to travel with the man in the extreme cold…

An animal, like a wolf, has to learn to adapt very quickly to its surroundings. Even though it is a predator, it still will be prey to some other animals. White Fang is a fiction book for young adults by Jack London, that is about a young wolf going through life and learning to adjust to the life of a domestic dog.

In The Call of the Wild by Jack London, I think that the most influential thing to Buck was the wild. First, he had to learn to survive.

The first reason why I believe the wild was the most influential on Buck is because he had to learn to survive in the wild. He had a hard time transitioning from being an…

was not man’s best friend. London states that, “The one was the slave of the other,”(70). This tells us that they were basically simply there to benefit from one another. The dog wasn’t with the man to keep him company, but instead to find warmth. The man used the dog to test the firminity of the ice in hopes of keeping himself dry. “The dog had learned about fire, and it wanted fire.
