The First Chapter Of John Steinbeck's The Call Of The Wild

The Call of the Wild is an amazing book about a half St. Bernard, half Scotch shepherd dog named Buck. It is full of action and adventure and would be perfect for people searching for those types of books. The Call of the Wild has many different problems within it and will bring about you feelings like no other. It is a sad, funny, heartwarming, dangerous, and action packed. It is more than just a book about a dog; it is a book that is fun to read. The first chapter of The Call of the Wild was wonderful. Judge Miller’s Place was described excellently.

There are many different conflicts in this book, but I think the major conflict would be that Buck has to adapt to the harsh climate, or die! If Buck’s digestion system didn't adapt to where he could eat almost anything, he would have probably starved. If he didn't learn the law of club and fang, he probably would've died fighting. Foreshadowing was important because it allowed you to guess what was gonna happen next. Out of all three of these, I think that setting would be the most important. It played the biggest role in the
