Traveling through the frosty Yukon with dogs and sleds, or just yourself in below seventy-five degree weather sounds pretty similar, right? Yes, it does however, they can also be complete opposites. The Call of the Wild by Jack London is about a dog and his journies through the Yukon during the gold rush as a sled dog. The main character, Buck, faces many struggles and difficulties along with many victories and successes. To Build a Fire, also written by Jack London is about a man who is brand…

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…

It also helps the reader to understand that there is a beast inside all of us and we can choose to show it or not and to be…

He was a robust crossbreed living in the lap of luxury in California before being taken away and being sold into a horrid sort of “dog slavery.” He was beaten into the submission of man, after which I thought that Buck would try to make his way back to the Santa Clara Valley. He seemed to have evolved from a civilized pet into a dominant, savage, beast throughout his time in the Yukon. He adopted a cruel kill-or-be-killed way of thinking, which helped during his fight with Spitz. He ultimately…

The titles of the first three chapters are “Into the Primitive”, “The Law of the Club and Fang”, and “The Dominant Primordial Beast.” These titles all tie into each other through the development of Buck. In the chapter “Into the Primitive”, Buck is in the primary stages of growing to adapt to the harsh environment of the Yukon. When Buck got to the Yukon, he was not expecting a big difference between Santa Clara (his hometown) and the Yukon, but he was wrong. He had to adapt to the small amounts…

In both features Spitz gets killed by Buck and he becomes lead dog. The dogs and owners both stop…
