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.

In the beginning of the book, Buck must adapt to the cold and cruelness of his new life in order to survive with very little food and recognition. First, Buck has to adapt to being transported to the North and learn to be a sled dog. For example, when he lived with the judge he slept wherever and whenever he wanted, but now that he is in the North he can only sleep under the snow and for few hours. Since, Buck learns that to live and carry on through his journey he has to make some changes from his old lifestyle. Second, Buck finds food for himself in order to survive and pull the sled longer. For instance, Buck steals food off of the man‘s plate because he is starving. Since, Buck can put his instincts into action, adapt and can be a good sled dog and stay alive. Last, Buck gets little recognition and learns to use his instincts and care for himself. For example, Buck gains confidence in himself to

The Call of the Wild is a book that was made by an author called Jack London. The Call of the Wild is a Nonfiction book, meaning it did not happen in real life, that is about a dog named Buck going through treacherous landscapes just to get a bunch of different people to Alaska, so they can go gold panning. The main reason why people call this story a classic is because it is a story that people remember for a long time. These kinds of books are most of the time passed down from generation to generation which is what usually gives books the name classic. This book also inspires other people to write books that are very similar to it; an example of this is Lassie Come-Home.

“Till now Buck had avoided trouble with his enemy but this was too much. The beast in him roared.” (London, 28)The adventure novel The Call of The Wild written by Jack London shows a normal house dog named Buck. Buck turns into a sled dog and retrogressed into a wild dog as his journey in the Yukon continues. He goes through several masters which of some his doesn’t/does like them.

I picked this quote from chapter 6 and it explains the tension building up inside of Buck during his time with John Thornton, who is the ideal master, and his relationship with Buck represents a perfect friendship between a dog and their owner. The author tells us that this is the first time that Buck has loved a human. Yet it is clear that Buck is supposed to free in the wild, so Buck doesn’t know whether to stay with his owner or go free into the wild. But after Thornton is killed and he avenges his death he has no more reasons to not go into the wild where he truly belongs.

“Dazed, suffering intolerable pain from his throat and tongue the half throated out of him, Buck attempted to face his tormentors” (London, 21). Buck is first taken from his sunny life in California to Alaska. He has to watch his friend suffer which pushes him to fight the indians. In the CAll of the Wild, Buck has to put up with his new society, which has lots of violence, harsh conditions, and proving he can still be a leader, by leading the sled group and protecting his new owners and friends. Buck learns even through hard times, you can still get through your hurdles.

Another important component of The Call of the Wild is the distinct tone London uses in the story. He primarily uses a simple and robust tone, such as on page 56 when Buck is physically drained from pulling the sleds. On page 56 London writes: “All that stirring of old instincts which at stated periods drives men out from the sounding cities to forest and plain to kill things by chemically propelled leaden bullets, the blood lust, the joy to kill-all this was Buck's, only it was infinitely more intimate. He was ranging at the head of the pack, running the wild thing down, the living meat, to kill with how own teeth and wash his muzzle to the eyes in warm blood." This blatant and robust tone compliments the untamed setting and violence in the plot of the story.

I thought the book The Call of the Wild was a very good book, although there were some slow, dull parts in the story. Chapter one starts off slow and a little dull to me. It just told about Buck with no action. When Buck got abducted though things got more exciting though. There was lots of action, Buck was trying to attack humans. All the while there were fights and even some death due to the man with the red sweater.

First, to get there Buck needs to be an amazing sled dog which he already is which ends up making him leader.For example, learns common extra food rubs, etc,. Since Buck earns francis and perruls respect can equal recognition. Second, other dogs follow Buck’s lead. For instance, Buck protects other dogs from Spitz in a revolt. Since Buck commands other dogs to disobey Spitz. Last, Buck finds love with John Thornton. For Example, Thornton shaking his head, Buck play Bites. Since Buck and Thornton are inseparable. In conclusion, Buck fathers his quest by gaming his master recognition status among his peers, and the love John Thornton

Learning how to get back up after you have been shattered or have been disoriented is something important to the many ambitious tasks that require people to persevere. In The Call of the Wild, Buck loses someone or something that he truly loves, and is forced to find another way of living with a new pack in an unfamiliar environment with contemporary ways. In contrast, many adults get laid off from their jobs and have to find a new job at a new place with new people. My mother had to persevere when she got laid off from her job. While my mother and Buck are different in many different ways, they both had been broken or lost something. They had to both get back up and find something new that they both relished. Everyone, including animals, have to persevere

This quote displays Buck’s complete transformation and shows his dedication to the concept of, “survival of the fittest.” Buck’s drive to survive is shown in this citation and it is clear that he has become fit to lead in the wilderness. This citation is significant to the theme, because it shows the certain characteristics that he has gained that make him eligible to make it in the wild. After starting his new journey away from civilization, he has become, “...a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength…” The theme, “survival of the fittest,” is the way of life for the animals in the wilderness, and is also the only path for survival for Buck.

It’s about the only thing I can remember, also it’s about a dog who starts a hard life/journey as a mail carrier.
