To Build A Fire And The Call Of The Wild By Jack London

Jack London, a journalist and novelist who worked in the Klondike before writing and publishing stories and novels such as To Build A Fire and The Call Of the Wild as well as many others, is an expert on Alaska because he’s experienced how brutal Alaska can truly be, as shown by his great detail in his stories and novels. London’s novel, White Fang, takes place in Yukon Territory during the 1890s during the gold rush. The authors purpose was to accurately portray what its really like in the arctic as shown by the great deal of graphic and gruesome detail. By elaborating so much, London really shows what’s needed to be done to survive out there. Even though the character White Fang is not human, the book shows the wolfish characteristics of both men and creatures, and the way that people shape lesser animals.

Many are killed, along with Bill. Henry, accompanied by two surviving dogs, attempts to get a fire going to drive away the wolf pack, only to be saved by the skin of their butts by a band of nearby travelers. The focus of the novel then moves onto the wolves. Whilst in a famine, the wolf pack continues to follow the she-wolf in search of food. When food is eventually found, the pack splits up. The she-wolf mates with another wolf and has a litter of pups. Although most of the pups die after several other famines, one pup, White Fang, survives. White Fang and his mother go forth towards an Indian village where the she-wolf master, Grey Beaver, is located. The she-wolf is captured by her master and White Fang makes an effort to stay as close by
