In the stories Brian’s Winter and Call of the Wild the two main characters reveal how they have different personalities and similarities by their thoughts and action. Their personalities can be compared and contrasted from each other like how each of them uses their instincts to help them with surviving out in the wild or rather how each of them act in a tough situation when faced with a situation like the bear in Brian’s Winter. One example of how they are similar is how they think in general. To begin with both main characters have different character traits like Buck not being as confident and more nervous and anxious compared to Brian.

Throughout his time alone in the wilderness, Brian went through many changes that left him more able to handle the extreme situation he was thrust into and this ultimately helped him to survive. The first major change that could be observed in Brian is his growth in patience. An excellent example of this can be observed in chapter 17 after the tornado lifts the plane’s tail out of the lake and Brian makes plans to get into the aircraft in order to retrieve the survival pack.

First food, because food made strength; first food, then thought, then action.”

The lack of a defining style during this time period is shown through the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Prior to the Cinquecento, humanist scholars and art patrons shared the view of ancient Greek philosopher Plato that poetry was the highest form of art (Kleiner 624).
