In my opinion call of the wild was a great book and I highly advise it to anyone. There were a few boring parts in it though but other than that still really good. My personal favorite chapter was chapter three. There is a lot that happens in this book and I think anyone would gladly enjoy it. I hope if u ever read u will. The setting in this book takes place during the Klondike gold rush of 1897. It starts though in the tropical place of San Diego until a sudden turn of events happens. Then the setting changes to the cold ice covered Alaska. The character goes through a lot of changes in order to survive. This is what the setting is of this book. The conflict of this book is the rivalry of the main character Buck and the side character …show more content…

My favorite part out of these chapters was when buck saw his first snow and didn’t know how to react. My least favorite part was when Buck was beaten nearly to death by the man in the red sweater. These two chapters did have some good parts like when Buck was first bought by Francois. This is my opinion on chapters one and two. My opinion on chapters three and four is that they were full of action and suspense. My favorite part was when Buck and Spitz finally fought out to the death. The part I liked the least was when Dolly was killed by getting hit in the head with an axe. The part I would change about the two chapters is that dolly wasn’t killed in such a horrible way. This is my opinion on chapters three and four. I think the theme of this book is that every animal no matter how tamed will always know that they are a part of the wild. I think this because Buck was very tame and never had any interest in hunting for food or anything like that until he was forcefully put into the wild. Also another reason I think this is because eventually Buck ran off into the wild with actual animals from the wilderness and was just like them. Also every animal every species has that instinct of the wild that calls to them. This is what I think the theme

The reason I really didn’t like this chapter because Seth gets beat up real bad in this chapter: “Coarsen crushed his knees into Seth’s chest.” (70) And another example of bullying is when Coarsen shouted, ‘One, Two, Three!’ he shouted and Seth was dragged through the grass and into the weeds of the tree patch.” (71) There was definitely a lot of graphic language in this chapter a lot of f-bombs and a-holes being said throughout the chapter.

Very interesting read even if you believe you know something about the Oregon Trail. Buck 's descriptions of both his trip and the events during the Great Migration really bring crossing the trail to life. After finishing the book, you seriously feel like spending a few days with Buck and his brother traveling along in a covered wagon. I would have liked a few more maps to help indicate where they were during some of the scarier moments of the

And throughout the book sergeant Brown is trying to steer Kevin back in the right path. The physical setting is in juvenile center and the temporal setting is the soccer field. The author manipulates time by saying what the date is each time something new happens in the story. The setting is critical to the story because that’s the whole reason why Sergeant Brown is trying to steer Kevin back in the right place. The tone of this story is very intense it keeps you wanting to read more and more.

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.
