Summary Of Jack London's White Fang

A small group of prospectors were exploring a tributary of the Klondike River when they uncovered gold. As news quickly spread of this extraordinary discovery, miners began to stalk every creek and streem in the area in order to find their fortune. In addition, the gold rush didn’t only positively impact prospectors, it gave way for a whole new variety of entrepreneur that set up their own shops to supply prosecutors with equipment such as stoves, clothing, sleds, tents, and dried foods. In addition, men would buy their own steamboats to ferry local prospectors to the Yukon. By 1897 and 1898 thousands of hopeful stampeaders flooded to the Alaskan Klondike to strike it rich among others was Jack London where he got the inspiration to write many of his novels about the gold rush including Call of The

In the text, “Klondike Gold Rush” and “A Woman Who Went To Alaska”, both share many different things. In this case their point a view was different. That is what I will be discussing today!

There are a few reasons why I recommend reading the classic, “The Call Of The Wild” by Jack London. There are very exhilarating action scenes throughout the book. The suspense is well placed and makes you wanting more and more. The story is told through the eyes of a dog, which gives an intriguing perspective to the storyline. These reasons and a few others give this book a lively feel.

In his novel, The Call of the Wild, Jack London wants us to see the step beyond the survival of the fittest to the complete adaptation to and domination of a once unfamiliar and unforgiving environment. Using a third-person, limited omniscient narrator, the cold, icy Yukon wilderness, and a journey from lazy farm life to the deadly work of a sled dog, we see Buck, a Saint Bernard/Scotch Shepherd mix slowly return to his ancestral roots. As Jacqueline Tavernier-Courbin states in her book The Call of the Wild: A Naturalistic Romance, “The book deals less with the concept of evolution than with that of devolution” (Courbin pg 57). London asks us to believe that happily domesticated farm dog, Buck, can not only survive life as a sled dog in the Yukon, but can become completely in tune with his primitive inner self, and ultimately thrive as a leader of a wolf pack.

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.

The freezing Alaskan wilderness is one in the stars of both To Build a Fire and the Call of the Wild. “The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice,” quoted Jack London in his short story, To Build a Fire. The Yukon mention in the previous quote is a river that is located

I love the way the author explains himself along the story, he can use many types of figurative language at the same time and the reader can still have a clear idea of what the author is trying to address. I think that through this book, Jack London proved that he has an awesome writing style, because he can describe the characters, the animals and their surrounding in “White Fang” in a very interesting manner. For example, when he says: “He pointed toward the wall of darkness that pressed about them from every side. There was no suggestion of form in the utter blackness; only could been seen a pair of eyes gleaming like live coals.” He described this in such a special way that when you’re reading the book, you can easily imagine what

The beginning of the novel is about two men, Bill and Henry, traveling in the Yukon. They get attacked by a group of wolves, lead by a she wolf. While Henry survives, Bill ends up being eaten by the wolves. After Henry is saved, the story then focuses on the wolves rather than people. After the pack eats and splits up, it continues on with only three wolves, the she wolf, One Eye, and two others. One Eye battles with them in order to win the she wolf as a mate, and he succeeds. They travel as mates and come along an Indian camp where they are able to steal meat from snares. Soon, she the she wolf is able to find a cave and give birth. Unfortunately, One Eye is killed by a lynx, and a famin takes place. Due to this, only one pup is able to survive, White Fang. He almost did not survive, but the she wolf was able to find food. As he grows, the pup discovers men, who give him his name. When the she wolf arrives, the native men realize that it is Kiche, a half wolf half dog that escaped. Soon, Grey Beaver becomes their new owner, and there, White Fang encounters Lip-Lip, and for the first time, he sees and gets hurt by fire. White Fang learns submission from his new owner after attempting to go with his mother after

The setting acts as an antagonist to the man because it creates conflict, man versus nature, and is partially the cause of the man’s death. The brutal and harsh conditions of the Yukon works against the man in almost every way possible. In the story, the man gets his feet wet and struggles to build a fire (Line 255). The gradual freezing and numbing of his body begins which will eventually lead to his inevitable death.

The book I selected to read during this semester is the literary classic The Call of the Wild, a 1903 novel by award-winning author Jack London. I chose to read this story because it is a classic novel and the heroic tone of the novel appealed to me. The novel tells of an initially pampered dog, Buck, and the progression of his tendency to revert to the inner instincts of fierce violence and extreme competition instilled in him. In the process, Buck goes through several different masters before finally landing with the right one. The Call of the Wild is made interesting by the literary devices used in the novel, the simple and robust tone used by London, and the process that the protagonist Buck undergoes in reverting back to his

Two elements of the naturalistic novel are present in The Sea-Wolf -- humans fighting nature, humans fighting one another.

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.
