In the beginning of the book, Phillip Malloy was passionate to make it into Harrison school’s track team. He thought that being only good at running would automatically make him into the team, but his grades interfered with his chance at the team. He didn’t make it into the track team because he detested Miss. Narwin’s class and felt the book, The Call of the Wild was useless, so he put the most unnecessary response to an answer of his exam.

One’s quest for greed and selfishness tear the soul apart. Throughout the novel, "Call of the Wild", written by Jack London it was apparent that due to the greed of multiple characters, lives of others were destroyed. Wherever Buck wandered the selfishness of others took away his happiness. Greed destroys and takes from everyone and everything. To begin with, Buck had a golden life.
Call of the Wild is a book about a sled pulling dog named Buck, Buck wasn’t always pulling sleds though. He used to be a domesticated dog living under the roof of a rich Judge, but all of that changed when he was captured and sold to two men who were crossing the Yukon territory. Through many courses of events, Buck became wild, hence the name of the book. This book takes place in the Yukon territory which was freezing and conditions were very rough, by the end of the story Buck had changed because of the problems he faced.
I liked Call of the Wild because there were a lot of good parts and a lot of bad parts. My favorite part of the book was where Buck and Spitz fought and Buck killed him and took his part of being the leader of the sled. My least favorite part of the book was where Buck got kidnapped by Manuel and was taken some place he had never been where it was cold and frigid. I also liked the part where Buck tried to kill the man who was fighting with John. I also didn’t like the part where Buck was beaten with the whip and club.
I thought call of the wild was great. My favorite part was when Buck chased the wounded moose. My other favorite part was when Buck attacked the man in the bar. My least favorite part was when the two men with John made Buck go back in the river to save John. My other least favorite part in the book was when all the other sled dogs took Bucks food.
Have you ever been reading a book, and wished that you could become part of the story so that you could stop what was happening? Throughout Jack London’s, “The Call of the Wild,” the author paints many all too vivid pictures in the reader’s mind of how work dogs were beaten or mistreated during the Alaskan gold rush. While these descriptions of how the dogs were treated serve the obvious purpose of furthering the plot on the surface, are they also used to convey the message of what kind of people the owners? A way to determine if this is so is to examine the perspectives of two of the owners regarding work dogs, the man known as the Scotch Half-Breed and Mercedes, and develop conclusions about their personalities from that information.
No doubt about it, traveling on your lonesome is an incredibly mixed bag. On the one hand, you have so much more freedom to go where you want without having to consult anyone else, plus it's good character-building to rely on your own wits. Conversely, there are often euphoric and hilarious moments on the road for which you simply wish there was someone else to experience by your side. As famous solo traveler Christopher McCandless wrote in his diary (as depicted in the fantastic 2007 film Into The Wild): Happiness only real when shared. Nevertheless, wistful daydreaming never got anyone anywhere, and luckily there are countless ways to meet kindred spirits, or even someone far more special.
In the Call of the Wild, Buck is taken from his home and is forced to learn a different life style. In the beginning of the book Buck gets sold by Manuel to the man in the red sweater. While Buck is with the man in the red sweater he learns the law of the club.
In the novel of the Call of the Wild, Buck tried to adapt to his new and difficult life. He was forced to help the men find gold; he experienced a big transformation in him. At the end, he transformed into a new and different dog. Buck went through physical, mental and environmental changes. In my essay, I talked about how Buck was like at the beginning, what he changed into, and how he was forced to adapt his new environment, and underwent these changes.
In my opinion the book “The Call of the Wild” is very violent. This book is also sad. Some parts look and seem interesting but almost every part of the book is very violent. Some of the book is interesting but others are sad. If you read this book to a little kid they would probably cry.
Jack London’s “The call of the wild” has a prominent place in the canon of American literature. Even though the novel is primarily the story of a dog named Buck, the book distinguishes itself from other animal adventures in its display of philosophical depth. An analysis through an eco-critical lens, narrowing it down to wilderness, the paper attempts to explore the portrayal of wilderness and the influence of wilderness on the lives of both the human and non- human beings in the novel. Buck, uprooted from a comfortable civilized life of the sun kissed Californian estate struggles as a sled dog in the Canadian wilderness. The wilderness is an uncaring cruel world where only the strong live.
As Jim Rohn once said, “It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future... it is what you do about what happens that counts.” Buck, the main character in the novel The Call of the Wild, is a victim of life 's many unexpected obstacles. From domesticated and tamed to wild and primitive, the transformation of Buck from beginning to end is a result of nature and nurture combined. Nature, his genetic makeup, proves to be the most dominant in his development of becoming a free creature of the wilderness.
The Call of The wild is a novel by Jack London which describes the life of Buck, a big 140-pound dog that lived in the Santa-Clara Valley with Judge Miller before he was kidnapped and taken to be a sled dog in the Yukon to transport mail. His first mail run was with Francois and Perrault where he learned “the law of club and fang”. The second owners were just a mail team. Charles, Hal and Mercedes bought Buck and his team for his third owner to go to the Yukon to find gold, but they didn’t know to pack light or get ready quickly. John Thornton’s team was the last team Buck was with before he was freed.
I like and disliked call of the wild here are the reasons why. I liked call of the wild because buck got find john again and because buck was able to learn how to live in the cold by learning how to dig a hole in the ground, by learning how to eat fast so the other dogs didn’t take his food, by learning how to bit the ice off of his feet, by breaking the ice off of the watering hole, by learning how to steel food from François and Perrault. The reasons why I didn’t like the book is because didn’t like it when buck was captured then beaten and when spitz would be mean to buck and steel his food and his bed when buck got up. What I would change about the story is when buck was bullied by spitz. What I wouldn’t change is when buck found john
