Brief Summary Of Chapter Of Buck's Into The Wild

Call of the wild was a very good book. I like how the book described how Buck had changed over the course of the book. I don’t like how Buck always was getting beat in the story. I also like how Buck took lead of the pack when he killed Spitz. It was sad when John Thornton died at the end.

In the Call of the Wild, by Jack London, a young Newfoundland mix embarks on a journey through the Alpine. Battling both the elements, and the pull of civilization, Buck must fight his way to the top in the quest for alpha dog. Not only battling civilization, but his comrades

In the novel The Call of the Wild, Buck, the main character has an internal conflict. Buck struggles between the natures of how he was raised, which was civilization and an instinctive savagery from his ancestors.

Buck’s new environment caused him to revert back to his primordial instincts and unlearn his previously civilized nature.

Life involves many hardships that may seem impossible to overcome, but with the right amount of strength, one can move beyond the wall of struggle, pain, hate, depression, and any set back.

In The Call of the Wild, one theme could be that only the strongest survive, Buck goes through significant changes in his life and has to learn very quickly how to adapt in order to survive. The connection between this theme and natural selection is that if you are not able to adapt or suited for a certain task, you will fail. If Buck had not adapted and learned how to a sled dog, he would have most likely of died. When it says "only the strongest survive" it means that if you are not prepared or are weak, you will die first. In natural selection, when disasters happen or things in the world change, only the strongest, smartest, and quickest to adapt will survive. Bucks life changed very rapidly, but he was able to adapt very quickly to his

Buck had to make a change of lifestyle or adapt to his new environment to survive. Buck threw out his morals for a kill or be killed mindset which unconstrained his potential. John Thornton appears to be an exclusion of this however, he represents loyalty and not morals.
