A slave, Betty Abernathy’s, account of plantation life, “We lived up in Perry County. The white folk had a nice big house an’ they was a number of poor little cabins fo’ us folks. Our’s was a one room, built of logs, an’ had a puncheon floor. ‘Ole ‘Massa’ had a number of slaves but we didden have no school, ‘ner church an’ mighty little merry-makin’. Mos’ly we went barefooted the yeah ‘round.”
Have you ever heard the calls? Buck sure has. In the novel The Call of The Wild by Jack London, Buck is a large st. Bernard that lives in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley with Judge Miller. As the story goes on Buck gets dognapped and sent to the man in the red sweater. The man in the red sweater is also known as the crack dog doctor.
Buck gets into a fight with the mean, lead sled dog named Spitz, and ends up killing him, "Mercy was a thing reserved for gentler climes. He maneuvered for the final rush… Only Spitz quivered and bristled as he staggered back and forth, snarling with horrible menace, as though to frighten off impending death. Then Buck sprang in and out; but while he was in, shoulder had at last squarely met shoulder. The dark circle became a dot on the moon-flooded snow as Spitz disappeared from view" (London 34).
Would you kill if your life depended on it? A major theme in Jack London 's’ call of the wild, is life is kill or be killed. In the beginning of the book, Buck must fight to the death with the original lead dog Spitz. First, Spitz is much more experienced. For example, Spitz has many scars on him and each fight is to the death.
This is the beginning of Buck's metamorphosis. Buck is taken from Judge Miller's home, to be sold off to become a sled dog. This is an example of an allusion. It alludes to the time period of the Alaskan Gold Rush, when dogs would be sold for money for the people trying to get to Alaska. He was the man who kept Buck and the other dogs in-line.
In the beginning of chapter one Buck, from the Call of The Wild, is describe to have multiple appearance traits. One of which is that buck is a large dog and only weighs about one hundred and forty pounds. In addition, Buck is a Saint Bernard, which means that he probably has a large fur coat. Not only this but buck was described to be neither housedog nor kennel dog. Based on this description I have a few thoughts of how Buck will deal with the hardships of the Yukon Territory.
He becomes more of a wolf than just a dog by the end of the book. My sisters Brook and Sophia both persevered from an experience with their father. It took them forever to make it all the way and even now there is still healing to do but they made it past the hard part. Buck and my sisters stories have a lot in common. They also have a lot of things that are different.
In the book Buck is a St.Bernard mixed with Scotch Shephard, but in the movie Buck is a German Shepard. In the
Buck succeeded when others did not because of atavism. His breed what more aggressive and he wanted to survive. Buck’s dad Elmo who was a St. Bernard, and St. Bernard’s are working dogs. They can do more work and not get tired, they are also very strong. Buck’s mom
Ten years have passed since we have last seen our friend Buck in his adventurous trip to get back to his family. A lot has happened since we last saw him. For example, he now is the alpha wolf in the wolf pack he joined when we last saw him, he now has an enormous family to share his stories with, and many friends he has made along the way. Buck is an amazing dog with many hidden talents he never knew he had. Like his love for fishing and telling stories.
In the movie, Buck is also tricked into being kidnapped due to his belief that every man can be trusted. When Buck gets his named called and hears,” good boy” it makes Buck feel happy and less afraid of him. Then he throws a treat into the crate and doesn’t force him, so Buck felt more conformable near the man and goes into the crate even though he was hesitant. But when he sees the man closing the crate, Buck realized that he shouldn’t have trusted the stranger (The Call of the Wild, 5:52-7:03). In both the movie and book, Buck is characterized as a dog that is naive because of how Judge Miller’s trained him to be.
The book Call of the Wild is about a normal dog who is snatched out of the luxurious world he lived in and was put in the wild. With this change he had to adapt to the environment, new laws and new masters. Through this time, he does things as good as an angel and things as bad as a devil. This leads to a question if Buck Is good or evil. Though he is part of both I think he is more good than evil.
The part that I didn’t like was when they got to Alaska and Buck was freezing and he tasted snow and his tongue started to burn it was so cold. When Buck got to Alaska he didn’t know what to do. Also when he was bad he got choked with the rope that was around his neck. Also when Buck was in Alaska he got very little food and always got in a fight with Spitz. The sort of good part of when he was in Alaska was that he got to meet a bunch of new dogs, some he liked and some he didn’t like.
Buck is a dog from Santa Clara Valley, a dog who lived in a huge house. He was the king of the property and was petted, fed well and treated like a loved and cherished dog. Buck was living a pampered life, where he had everything he want until the day where he was stolen, sold, and brought to an unknown environment. Buck has went through a change where he had to adapt quickly for survival. A place where he had to steal to eat, defend himself in order to survive.
