Buck’s great genes and extensive training have allowed him to become more agile than any foe he is pitted against. So when Jack London is talking about Buck fighting a pack of wolves he say “he was everywhere at once” meaning that buck is so quick to strike that there is nowhere that the wolves aren’t vulnerable. The inclusion of this hyperbole gives us a sense of how Buck has evolved from a simple house dog to a wild killer of great strength.
Though he does hunt, it is for his survival, and during the two years he lived at the pond, he did not hurt anything unless necessary. John’s love for Buck is much like Thoreau’s for his new home. It naturally took both of them time to get used to each item, however, once they did, it is greatly shown. John knows Buck saved his life on multiple occasions, both in the bar and the boat.
In the book Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, the most interesting aspect about it to me is the conflict between leadership of Ralph, Jack, Simon, and even Piggy. In book, it establishing from the beginning of who was going to be at the top in leadership of the group, Jack and Ralph. After a vote of the crowd, Ralph had won the name of chief. However, Jack never fully accepted Ralph as the chief of the group. In the book, the kids light a fire so that passing ships can see the smoke and come rescue them on the island.
Human nature can be described in many different ways. Every human is born with their own leadership qualities. Some of those qualities are much better than others. Human nature along with leadership is displayed throughout The Lord of the Flies. In William Golding’s novel The Lord of The Flies, Ralph and Jack, who both want to be leaders, are trying to convince the boys on the island to follow their ways of leadership which are very different.
Throughout history man has debated the amount of rules necessary to govern society. In the novel “Lord Of the Flies”, William Golding depicts the evils of mankind. Set during a time of war a group young british schoolboys survive their plane crashing into the ocean after being shot down. The young boys were forced to govern themselves by determining who would lead them, and what rules were necessary for them to survive until they are rescued. Golding used the conch to symbolise the initial rule of leadership.
In Call of The Wild, Buck, the main character, is forced to push through treacherous conditions and dangerous situations to achieve his goals, showing his undying perseverance. Buck is able to persevere through everything due to his extreme want to be great at everything he does, no matter the activity. He never gives up, even through tough circumstances, and this results in his pulling a ton with his own strength, and leading his team through the perilous slopes of the Yukon. “He was beaten (he knew that); but he was not broken,” (Chapter 1, Paragraph 40).
In the novel “The Call of the Wild”, Buck changes throughout the novel in many ways for survival. One way buck changed for survival was when he learned “A man with a club was a law giver, a master to be obeyed, though not necessarily conciliated” (London 10). This first quote shows how Buck changed and adapted because if he never learned that lesson then he would have had not survived throughout the story. Also If he never learned this lesson then Back would have been dead because then the man would beat him to death.
“Faithfulness and devotion, things born of fire and roof, were his; yet he retained his wildness and wiliness. He was a thing of the wild, come in from the wild to sit by John Thornton’s fire, rather than a dog of the soft Southland stamped with the marks of generations.” (London 76).

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.
