One characteristic of Naturalism in the novella is the time in which the story takes place. In the North, men begin to find gold in what is called the Klondike gold rush. Other men rush to the North in order to get rich. However, in order to travel throughout the land, they require many strong and furry-coated dogs to pull their sleds. This leads to Buck’s kidnapping and his adventures in the North. In the beginning of the novel, the narrator says, “...men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost.” (1) This shows that time plays an important role in the novel because the gold rush requires many dogs like Buck since many men went up North to strike it rich and they needed a way in which they could transport themselves and their supplies. Manuel kidnaps Buck because the gold rush offered him a chance to sell Buck and get money. Since Manuel sells Buck,

The California gold rush January 24 1848 was a very interesting time to be alive.

People from all over the world came to C.A. in search for gold. People traveled by land and sea. Traveling in a station wagon wasn’t that bad, and the people took resources from the C.A. Indian tribes that had died from the plague.(Wonders pg. 140 and Gold Rush Guy). Miners usually spent hours looking for gold and found nothing. Today, a small piece of gold could be worth 8$. Mining was hard, boring, and dangerous. (Our C.A. pg. 78 and Gold Rush Guy). There were many different ways to find gold. One way, was to pan in a river. Another way, was to use a rocker. There were two different types of pans. (Ms. Hammill and Gold Rush Guy). In conclusion, in 1849, many people came to C.A. for the Gold Rush.

On the day of President Trump’s Inauguration, Time reporter Zeke Miller wrote that a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office. He retracted the statement a few minutes later and apologized for making a mistake. Miller’s apology was ignored by many, including President Trump. A day later, in a speech given to the CIA, President Trump accused Miller of false reporting. “So Zeke, Zeke from Time magazine writes this story about ‘I took down’ — I would never do that because I have great respect for Dr. Martin Luther King. But this is how dishonest the media is.” By accusing Miller of false reporting, President Trump was accusing the reporter of spreading what became commonly known during the 2016 presidential

The Yukon Gold Rush was the largest mass migration in U.S. history. The Yukon Gold Rush was a period of time when men left their families and went to Yukon in search for gold. The Gold Rush era lasted about three years, from the years 1897 to 1899. During the Gold Rush, one man to leave his home in search for gold was Jack London. London went to Yukon to mine gold. While he was in Yukon we got extremely malnourished and he got really ill. He lost a couple of his teeth to scurvy. Due to his bad health he was forced to leave and go back home. After he returned home he started writing stories. He told himself that he would write 1000 words a day. Two stories that are important is “Love of Life” and “To Build a Fire”. Throughout both these short stories London used figurative language, powerful tone, and a third person point of view, as well as, traits of literary movements to express his vivid style and teach readers about nature’s superiority.

Some people prevail instead of fail off their enemies because the weather conditions were harsh during the summer and winter, which the summer caused floods, deep mud holes and had mosquitoes. The winter caused the water to freeze, which no boats were available and caused the miners to face blizzards, hikes across glaciers, and falls over creases or icy cliffs. These conditions caused many hazards which made half of the miners die before getting to the gold. According to Gibbs, author of The Klondike Gold Rush, the cause of the miners having to buy stuff “meant a booming business for seattle”(Gibbs). After close analysis one could synthesize that many people died on the journey weather it was by boat or foot but some people fulfilled their
