“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself, Nothing can bring you peace but the triumphs of principles.” This is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self-reliance which resonates with Krakauer’s and McCandless’ shared beliefs and interactions. This quote can help us to understand why McCandless and Krakauer enjoyed going into the wild. They were searching for themselves. By looking at their shared beliefs, their respective journeys, and Krakauer’s opinions of McCandless it can be seen that they have similar stories, but their stories both ended very

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.

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.

But the simple fact of him knowing that true perfection does not exist did not stop him from reaching for it. Later in his life, after the discovery of McCandless’s body, Krakauer became obsessed with finding the truth of his death. Krakauer said, “I stay up well past midnight, trying to make sense of McCandless’s life and death, yet his essence remains slippery, vague, elusive” (Krakauer 186). Krakauer made it his mission to study McCandless’s life, and his journey into Alaska, taking in every detail in hopes of finding an absolute truth. He didn’t find an absolute truth, for even though he discovered the literal cause for McCandless’s death, he could never fully comprehend the extent of what made him leave in the first place.

He began again to daze off staring at the fire and imagining the hairy man crouched down in the summer sun. The Call of the Wild written by Jack London is an adventure book that follows the life of a once tamed dog known as Buck to a dog that has retrogressed to a more primitive state during the Yukon Gold Rush. Buck who eventually answered the call of the wild had to go through many difficulties to get there.The theme power of the primitive is reinforced by the retrogression of a dog despite the love of mankind.

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

“As a youth, [Krakauer was] told, [he] was willful, self-absorbed, intermittently reckless, moody. [He] disappointed [his] father…. Like McCandless, figures of male authority aroused in [him]…confusing medley of corked fury and hunger to please. If something captured [his] undisciplined imagination, [he] pursued it with a zeal bordering on obsession, and from the age of seventeen until [his] late twenties that something was mountain climbing” (134).

The novel White Fang is written by Jack London,who is an author of many books.White Fang is non-fiction and it is an interesting novel that drew me in from the start.Personally,I think this novel is important,because it teaches us about wild animals and their personal lifestyles and habitats.Truthfully, the reason I think this novel is important is,that is shows how the wildlife works and responds to dangers such as weather, predators, people, etc.

It has been said that some find life after death. This stands true for Christopher McCandless, the main protagonist in Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. Into the Wild is journalist Jon Krakauer’s narration of McCandless ditching his life of privilege and hitch hiking around America, until he would eventually trek into the Alaskan Wilderness and lose his life due to starvation. After McCandless is found dead, news of his death sweeps across the nation as his untimely departure faces criticism for being deserved, as McCandless went into the wilderness extremely underprepared. Through this novel, Krakauer brings McCandless’s spirit back to life again as he uses anecdotes, ethos, and aphorisms to convince readers that McCandless’s expedition was not an act of craziness, but an act of a free spirit that many can relate to.

Krakauer aligns the narrative of McCandless’ search for identity, and how family played a large role, with his own. Both embark on extreme adventures to find themselves in reaction to actions by their fathers that have caused them great pain. Learning of his father’s bigamy, McCandless thinks

McCandless was really stubborn to go to Alaska but, by doing so, he influenced those people that he met during his journey to Alaska. He then inspires them to think that you can do anything in your life without anyone telling you what to do. “The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun ( Krakauer Into The Wild, 57).” McCandless wants to show that take new experiences in your life which can make it a delightful journey. Also, it can make your day a happiness and give you a lesson how you can live your life. “You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships ( Krakauer Into The Wild, 57)”. McCandless always think that joy have a different relationships to us human beings. It has been spreading to people emotions by having beautiful lives. “According to the moral absolutism that characterize McCandless’s beliefs, a challenge in which a successful outcome is assured isn’t a challenge at all ( Krakauer Into The Wild, 182)”. McCandless had a lot of beliefs and goals in his life and also he faced a lot challenges in his life. But, his outcome was not finished until his death.

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.

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.
