Buck And Spitiz's 'Call Of The Wild'

Into The Wild was a tremendous story which Shaun Callarman did not have many positive things to say about Chris McCandless, the main character. He went on this adventure to find out what life is all about in his own eyes. He wanted to see how different living in the wild really was compared to society because he was not satisfied with his living arrangements and household. Shaun’s quote says that he thinks “Chris McCandless was bright and ignorant at the same time. He had no common sense, and he had no business going into Alaska with his Romantic silliness. He made a lot of mistakes based on arrogance. I don’t admire him at all for his courage nor his noble ideas. Really, I think he was just plain crazy,” shows that Shaun believes Chris had no common sense in his doing for leaving society for the wild. I agree with Callarman’s position for thinking “ he had no common sense” and that he

The call of the wild is about a dog named buck hat goes through many owners and then goes to the wild and joins a wolf pack. The central idea in The Call of The Wild is the way you treat animals can tell about you and your personality.

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future (Krakauer, pp. 56-57).

London’s novella Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck’s transformation from a domesticated pet on a vast Santa Clara Valley estate to the primal beast he becomes in the bitter regions of the Klondike wilderness. London delivers Buck’s journey in several key plot events and uses various settings and narration styles to tell the story in a way that allows a reader to easily become invested in Buck’s character and well-being from the viewpoint of a loyal and lovable pet, as well as, that of a creature returning to its primal roots and ancestry. Settings in Call of the Wild consist of generally harsh and vicious locations, situations previously unknown to Buck, and various hostile persons and dogs. As well as a variety of settings, London

The world loves dreamers. Every, day people are inspired by other people who strive to achieve their dreams of grandeur. They pick their heroes: charismatic, daring, and habitually dead. The romantic ideals of these individuals present skewed views of reality and often lead to dire situations.

Jon Krakauer’s Into The Wild chronicles the journeys and events leading up to the death of a young man named Chris McCandless. Chris was a vagabond who traded friends and family in exchange for adventure, but ultimately wound up dead in the Alaskan wilderness. Within this recollection readers can discover various themes. Primarily, the subjects of materialism, ultimate freedom, and even man vs. nature all recur in this text. Materialism refers to the desire for money or possessions rather than spiritual or ethical values. Chris McCandless denounces this desire. After he left home, he rejects all forms of luxury similar to that of his family’s wealthy situation. While traveling, he insists on only carrying the bare essentials to survive and he regularly refuses any aid that would compromise this doctrine. He even goes as far as burning one hundred twenty-three dollars, which shows just how little he cares for it. On the other hand, McCandless displays a yearning for “ultimate freedom” throughout his travels. Eventually, he would like to find a place where he does not have to obey anyone’s rules. In chapter one, when Jim Gallien asks Chris if he has a hunting license, McCandless describes his distaste for the government’s rules, stating, “How I feed myself is none of the government’s business.” Also, Chris’ constant traveling shows his reluctance to settle down or become tied down to one place. He avoids developing relationships with

This is a paragraph about my most liked parts and most disliked parts in Call of the Wild. I really liked when Buck took control over Spitz when they were fighting and gained the leadership. I also really liked that Buck was reunited with is wild brother at the end. What I really disliked is that they had John Thornton killed; he could have just went home and left buck in the Klondike for that’s where his heart belonged. I also really disliked that they didn’t have Charlie in the book, even though he was in the movie. And if I could change anything out of the book I would most likely have Spitz come back for revenge because he escaped from the huskies and recovered. That’s it for my most liked and disliked parts, and also what I would change if I could change something, all in the Call of the Wild book.

The best chapter of The Call of the Wild is chapter six “For the Love of a Man.” Chapter six is the chapter in which Buck, the protagonist, begins to live with John Thurston. John saved Buck from his masters that were whipping him and clubbing him nearly to death. Nursing Buck back to health, the pair begins to form a bond like no other, a bond of unconditional, passionate, genuine love. The exuberant John always played with the carefree dogs, including Buck, Skeet and Nig. The bond that Buck and John have leaves them inseparable, and letting them communicate from sweet name callings, and gentle biting on the hand to show their affection. Buck was John’s guardian when John was trying to stop a fight, and he ended up getting mixed

There are many great novels out there some, romance, some fictional and others nonfiction. I have read many novels and not many are as impressive as the novel, “Call of the Wild”.

In The Call of the Wild, Buck had many relationships that greatly influenced how Buck acted and what jobs or tasks he performed. The Call of the Wild is written by Jack London, a self-educated author that lived in the Yukon Territory in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In the story, Buck is at four years of age and living on a large property in California with Judge Miller and his two daughters, Molly and Alice. Later in the story, after being kidnapped, Buck is on a dog sled team in Alaska with the two Frenchmen who work for the Canadian government, Francois and Perrault. Lastly, Buck’s favorite, was John Thornton.

I like "To Build the Fire" best, because of not only my interest adventure but also the breathtaking scenery and psychological description. Reading English story is not very easy to me but I couldn't stop reading this one.

I like “The Call of the Wild” because we always had me on the edge of the seat. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. The book has been one of the best books I've read. It had a lot of violence, which is one of the favorite topics I read. There's a part in the novella where the character Buck injured the dog, Spitz and he died.

Call of the Wild is a novella written by Jack London that is ironic about life and the way we look at it. We look at life as humans and other things are just living in our world, that nothing else has a say in the world because we do not speak the same languages. Example of this is how we “own” dogs, cats, horses, etc; we do not “own” them, they are their own being with goals of their own. We may not be able to understand what they are saying or what they are thinking, but as London explains throughout his novella, one dog in particular has such high aspirations for himself that he will not quit for anything and his name is Buck. Never giving up on what you want in your life is the real message in this story that is being portrayed through the life of Buck.
