What I like in the Call of the Wild book was how Buck had let his inner beast emerge from him. One thing I didn’t like was how John Thornton was killed. One thing that I would change in the book would be that John Thornton doesn’t die. Another thing I liked was how Buck was changing and adapting to the environment. Another thing that I could change in the book would be that Buck doesn’t become wild. I think that the reason that Charlie was in the movie but not the book is because maybe he was replacing someone else. Take the Indian friends for example, Charlie could’ve been one of them but the book never told us. Also the setting is in the cold, Northland, and Alaskan environment where the weather is cold and harsh and the wind can feel like a hot knife against your skin at night. The book started foreshadowing when Buck would look at the stars and howl to them and he would think they were howling back to him.

Buck had attacked a bear and he had killed the bear at that. I feel like that’s good and kind of bad because, Buck is a dog and he killed a bear. Another thing is that he protected himself from the bear. He kind realized how fun it was killing things, which makes him chafe against the pleasant domesticity of his life with Thornton. Buck had really starting to treat himself

In this paragraph we will be discussing the differences in the two stories. Buck was the main character in The Call of the Wild, but the dog in To Build a Fire was not the main character.

Also, to add to that, the dog in To Build a Fire, his master tried to kill him for warmth, but John Thornton never did something like that to Buck, Buck is the dog in The Call of the Wild.

The author of The Call of the Wild, Jack London, heavily influenced the literary world with his inspirational works, specifically surrounding the theme of Naturalism. London followed the same theme, among others, in many of his works, focusing on how the environment affects its inhabitants and the details of the environment itself. The descriptions of nature London took the time to include in his books and the way they affect the story is what makes his works truly remarkable. He strongly committed himself to his works and put a great deal of effort into researching them to ensure accuracy. In The Call of the Wild, there are three main themes that are made evident: naturalism, coming of age, and loss of innocence. Naturalism is what London is most known for, and is shown through his attention to the surroundings of his characters. Coming of age was displayed through specific life changing events that altered Buck’s perspective. And finally, loss of innocence can be seen in the gradual, but sure decline of Buck’s morals.
Beaten, neglected, and loved Buck dealt with all those things. In the story ‘’ The Call of the Wild ‘’, the central theme is how one treats animals can reflect on what kind of person they are.
