Call Of the Wild is a short adventure novel and set in Yukon, Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand.

By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild.
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.
I think that buck was actually better off as a house dog rather than a sled dog, why? I think so because as in the story states that he got provided with water and caught his own meal. So he somewhat has a wild side, but is also tamed. Also he knows how to interact with humans properly and is correctly mattered inconsiderate of his size. He’s also very trust giving, as in the way that he trust people that he knows.
In the beginning of the story, Buck was once a house pet that was valuable to the Judge , he was capable of overseeing the Judges’ grandchildren. “He escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge’s daughters, on long twilight or early-morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge’s feet before the roaring library fire; he carried the Judge’s grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass and guarded their footsteps through wild adventures” (London 5). This quote proves that Buck is tame and can be trusted to guard family members, he is also

Buck in the book Call Of The Wild he perseveres a lot and grows as at first he was a weak dog.

Like Buck got beaten with a club. He was scared because he had never been beaten like that. Until after that Buck learned the club of law and fang.
“He was all but naked, a ragged and firescorched skin hanging part way down his back, but on his body there was much hair.” (London 50). Buck dreamt about this primordial caveman becoming more like him throughout the novel. Buck’s inner wolf ate away his poor physique while the wild northland ate away his civilness and domestication.

I believe that the change that required the most effort for Buck, in the Call of the Wild, was the transition between gaining and giving respect. In the Southland, when Buck lived at Judge Miller’s estate, he was royalty, so-to-speak. He did not give respect, so much as gain respect. He obeys his family, but that isn’t respect, that’s just obedience.
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.

Nature, his genetic makeup, proves to be the most dominant in his development of becoming a free creature of the wilderness.
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.

Then he goes to Alaska and he’s not used to snow then he would run and play instead of digging holes to stay warm.because that 's what he was used to doing in San Diego.

So by time everyone started to move across the hills the snow started to melt so they had to pull them stuff by back, or stay and camp were they where.
