Significance Of Buck In The Call Of The Wild

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.

I believe that it was very biased and cruel when Buck was taken away and sold. He was basically kidnapped and taken to be a sled dog. I also think that he was a quick learner and I am not sure if he likes it there. An example of his quick learning skills is when he had to bury himself in the snow so he wouldn’t be cold at night, which he observed from the other dogs. The best place for Buck, though, would be back home. That is where he belongs even though he does do a good job as a sled dog, he doesn’t deserve to be out in the cold. When he was a house dog, he was a king and he enjoyed it. He also had a nice time doing whatever he pleased there. He was very much loved, happy, and healthy. Buck was also well behaved and loyal to his owners.

I liked chapter 7 of Call of the wild because,Buck starts to act like a wolf. And Buck is strong as could be. Plus Buck is a very smart animal for a dog. Also I think Buck is a very great dog so far that I have read about him. And that Buck is learning how to be a wolf like he always wanted to be.

In the Call of The Wild a dog named Buck goes through a few owners before joining a wolf pack. The theme in The Call of The Wild is the way you treat animals is the way they will react to you because Buck’s owners treated him differently therefore he responded to them differently.

In the novel Call of the Wild, Buck is a domesticated dog at Judge Miller's house in Santa Clara Valley, California. Buck lived in a large spacious grounds filled with orchards and gardens. Buck was Judges Miller's companion, he took his daughters on walks and hunts with his son’s, he considered himself to be superior than the other dogs living at the house. He was a large built dog, a mix of St. Bernard and Scotch Shepherd, and weighs 140 pounds. During this time period, gold has been discovered in the Yukon and Alaska, there has been big demands for strong built dogs to pull sleds up to the arctic. Manuel, a gardener at Judge Miller's estate has gambling issues and is in need for money, and with the demand for sled dogs for the arctic, he manages to kidnap Buck and sell him to a saloon-keeper and is transported to the north on train. What Buck does not know is what lies ahead of him in this journey, it's the beginning of Buck's survival.

Call of the wild was a very good book. I like how the book described how Buck had changed over the course of the book. I don’t like how Buck always was getting beat in the story. I also like how Buck took lead of the pack when he killed Spitz. It was sad when John Thornton died at the end.

In The Call of the Wild, one theme could be that only the strongest survive, Buck goes through significant changes in his life and has to learn very quickly how to adapt in order to survive. The connection between this theme and natural selection is that if you are not able to adapt or suited for a certain task, you will fail. If Buck had not adapted and learned how to a sled dog, he would have most likely of died. When it says "only the strongest survive" it means that if you are not prepared or are weak, you will die first. In natural selection, when disasters happen or things in the world change, only the strongest, smartest, and quickest to adapt will survive. Bucks life changed very rapidly, but he was able to adapt very quickly to his
