This year’s summer reading options were marvelous. It was a hard choice to choose what book to read, but in the end, I chose The Call of the Wild by Jack London. The Call of the Wild was an adventurous tale about a dog named Buck and his adventures as he was sold into a harsh life of relentless labor in the cold and brutal North. The author of this classic novel, Jack London, was a short-story writer and a prolific American novelist. He was born in San Francisco, California. He was known for his other novels, The Sea Wolf and White Fang. I chose this particular novel because I love reading classic novels and it seemed to be an interesting and exciting story. Finally, this was the novel of my choice because it was recommended to me by my grandma.
Jon Krakauer starts the chapter by inserting an excerpt from Jack London’s novel “White Fang”. In the excerpt, London provides a vivid description of the wilderness, “wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild”. The excerpt shows how dangerous the wild can be to someone who knows nothing about nature and is not prepared to face the reality of it. This epigraph gave an outlook onto how harsh the wild truly is and what McCandless might have endured during his journey.
To begin, I dissagree with the David Wilkerson because I think that you should rescue wild animals. In this story I am going to state my reasoning about why I do not support David Wilkerson's oppinion and I am going to state his oppinion against mine. You will find that both of ours are completely different. Yet I am mostly going to explain my oppinion.
McCandless actions are seemed to be motivated from fictional works such as The Call of the Wild, White Fang, “To Build a Fire,” “An Odyssey of the North,” and “The Wit of Porportuk.” From these books, The Call of the Wild by Jack London is his favorite since he idolize the author. Judging from London’s book, McCandless attempts to mimic the life of the main character Buck, a dog who escapes his sheltering world and adapts to the harsh conditions of Canada. The most prominent chapter that depicts the beginning of canine’s journey is Chapter 2, which starts off by displaying his fears and bemusement when confronted with his new home(London 15). This relates to McCandless in a sense that his middle-class upbringing evidently protected him cold
I picked it up. The title was The White Legend. The book was wide and had a hard cover on it. On the cover there were a bunch of wolfs on the cover along with a large white wolf in the middle. Well no wonder it was called The White Legend. I turned it over and read the back. Legend has it that a powerful beast huanted all of the United States. Over the years it came to be known as The White Legend.
Notes: The chief elder is the antagonist. She is in charge of the entire community. She is a bit older, she is uptight and strong willed.

White Fang by Jack London is a breathtaking example of classical composition. This piece of fictionalized American literature has shown, in the simplest way possible, the struggles of a wild made tame wolf as he is thrown in and out of captivity. Mr. London’s novel has shown, in vivid detail, how a good natured cub like White Fang turned into a raging beast. He hated his own species and humans because of the cruel treatment he had received, but by the end White Fang was able to learn what trust and loyalty truly meant. This tale has become an important part of literary history because of it’s tantalizing plot that keeps you riveted. You’ll be rooting for White Fang from the very beginning of the book.
The central character of White Fang was a wolf named White Fang. He was born in the wild; he was the only one out of his litter who survived the cold. The antagonists who forced conflict with White Fang were Beauty Smith, Lip-lip, and himself. Lip-lip was another wolf that White Fang met when he was a puppy. Lip-lip would bully White Fang.

White Fang, a fiction book, mostly takes place in the Yukon territory of California. It is written in third person point of view.

After jail he went to school and got interested in writing after winning a newspaper contest. He then got gold fever. When he came back to California, he found that he was inspired by the North and the dogs and wolves there. This is where the inspiration for the book White Fang emanated from.

London emphasized nature’s beauty as well as harshness in his books, and the change in his descriptions of the surroundings was a very effective way of indirectly changing the mood and tone. This is particularly evident in The Call of the Wild where the dog Buck is taken from his warm
