Comparing Call Of The Wild And A Mountain Journey

As mentioned, The Call of the Wild is about events that actually happened. The Call of the Wild is about a gold rush. That gold rush was the Klondike Gold Rush, which took place in the late 1800s. The summary says, “He leads a comfortable life there, but it comes to an end when men discover gold in the Klondike region of Canada and a great demand arises

In the book Into the Wild, characters Chris McCandless, Gene Rosellini and Everett Ruess are all characters with similarities and differences. Each character has a different family background and personality. Every character also had a different experience in the wilderness and way they documented it. Lastly, McCandless, Rosellini, and Ruess all had different ways they died.

The Call of the Wild, on the surface, is a story about Buck, a four- year old dog that is part Shepherd and part St. Bernard. More importantly, it is a naturalistic tale about the survival of the fittest in nature. Throughout the novel, Buck proves that he is fit and can endure the law of the club, the law of the fang, and the laws of nature.

Buck lives in Judges Millers estate at the beginning of both the book and the movie. He is then kidnapped by Manuel, the gardener. He is sold to dog salesmen heading to Alaska. He is disciplined by the Law of Club and Fang. The man in the red sweater takes Buck out of the cage and repeatedly beats him. Buck continues to try to attack until he is to week to fight. He then learns the law of Club and Fang.

     The Call of the Wild, by Jack London, is a classic piece of American literature.

Cruel circumstances require Buck to lose his carefree attitude and somewhat peaceful outlook on life. Love then enters his life and causes him to see life through new eyes. In the end, however, he must choose between the master he loves or the wildness he belongs in.

Does living a life in the wilderness bring betterment to people’s lives? According to Christopher McCandless and Henry Thoreau, it really did. In the book, Into The Wild, by Jon Krakauer, the author tells the story of young Christopher J. McCandless who seemingly decides one day to give away his savings to charity, pack up his car, and leave his home and family for a life of wandering and adventure. His story ends with his eventual death in the Alaskan Yukon, but Krakauer goes into what may have caused him to do such a thing and how those who’s lives the young man touched felt about his death. Multiple parallels can be seen between McCandless and author Henry Thoreau. Among McCandless’ possessions found with his body in August of 1992, was

Into the Wild happens to be my favorite book, and also one of my favorite movies. Most people like one or the other, but I think the two complement each other because of the varied stances taken on the main character himself. In case you’re not familiar, Into the Wild is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who, after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990, gave his entire savings of twenty-four thousand dollars to charity and set off following his dream of living off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. McCandless made it to Alaska, but died shortly after taking residence in an abandoned bus; he probably passed from eating the wrong deadly plant or possibly from starvation. The book was

Thesis: Death is the main theme of both short stories and both authors portrayed this dark and dreary idea as a game the characters are playing.

Chris McCandless and Buck serve as examples of the archetype of the wild through their experiences of leaving where they feel most comfortable and answering the call of the wild. They show that each experience is inimitable because the wild is unique to every individual. For Buck, the wild is a place outside of civilization and his dependence on man, where the external threats of nature exist and he must prove himself as a true animal with instincts for survival. In McCandless' case, the place outside of civilization is actually an escape from his fears because the wild for him is in relationships, where the threat of intimacy exists and he must learn to trust others for happiness. This is because for each of us, the wild is what we

The Call of The wild was my favorite reading assignment because it had a lot of story in it and we took a lot of time to read it. I also like it because we got to watch the movie and see how different the book is from the movie was. The Call of The Wild is a novella which is a short ,but good story with a plot, setting,conflict,climax, and a really good end.

Sometimes you have to work hard and persevere to get through some of life's problems, that may result in new knowledge. In The Call of the Wild, Buck is put into danger when his owners don't know how to properly care for him. My mom saw someone in terrible danger when the car hit them at an immense speed. My mom could not get the image out of her head, and every time she closed her eyes it played back like a movie. Less severely, Buck struggled with whether he should follow his instinct to live in the wild, free wilderness, or to live with his caring owner who saved his life, John Thornton. Each human being and animal, whether severe or benign, has to face challenges in life that may be troublesome to overcome.

The author of The Call of the Wild, Jack London, heavily influenced the literary world with his inspirational works, specifically surrounding the theme of Naturalism. London followed the same theme, among others, in many of his works, focusing on how the environment affects its inhabitants and the details of the environment itself. The descriptions of nature London took the time to include in his books and the way they affect the story is what makes his works truly remarkable. He strongly committed himself to his works and put a great deal of effort into researching them to ensure accuracy. In The Call of the Wild, there are three main themes that are made evident: naturalism, coming of age, and loss of innocence. Naturalism is what London is most known for, and is shown through his attention to the surroundings of his characters. Coming of age was displayed through specific life changing events that altered Buck’s perspective. And finally, loss of innocence can be seen in the gradual, but sure decline of Buck’s morals.
