Buck in the book “The Call of the Wild”, goes through many obstacles where he faced getting killed. He was just an ordinary house dog, but was kidnapped by his family’s gambling-addicted gardener. He later is beaten with a bat until he obeys and
In the south Buck faced no trouble in his sleep. He was able to rest peacefully. Buck was not in charge of having a duty or any chore to do. Buck was not interacting with other dogs, And therefore he just overall had no responsibility Witch affected him in his sleep.
I think buck should be a sled dog, because he weigh 140 and also have strength. Plus François is fair. Plus buck need to grow up and actually have obstacles. Obstacles like the man with the club buck was beat up because he was out of control. Been kidnapped. He learns to fight. He has a very fairly owner. Also he can feel what life is like. Like when white stuff that was on his tongue. That was his first snow. So that’s why buck shouldn’t be a house dog he should be a sled dog.
Buck was better off as a Housedog because he had people who loved and cared for him. Buck always got to hang out with the judge’s daughters, sons, and also his grandchildren. They would go fishing, swimming, and hunting. It’s such a shame that buck had to leave the judge and his family because when buck was a sled dog life wasn’t so pleasant for him. He had to fight, steal, and kill even though he didn’t want to. He faced many challenges and obstacles that most normal dogs don’t really have to go through like when buck got kidnapped from his loving and caring family back in Santa Clara Valley to a place where survival is the only thing you must face! Life was very brutal and cold for him. Buck was one of the bravest dogs out there to have gone
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 think Buck should be a sled dog. Buck should be a sled dog because he learns how to survive and stay strong. He also learned how to stand up for himself. On this unexpected journey, Buck learned obedience no matter outcome. It’s not safe for the judge and his family to keep a wild animal, especially a Pitbull. Although he was the judge’s “pet” he belongs with his kind, in the wild. Soon, Buck will be as large as his father, he is not finished growing. In chapter 3 Buck said he liked the taste of the blood in his he wants to kill. Set Buck
I think Buck is better off as a sled dog. His owner wanted a dog that has strong muscles. So basically he is meant or for strong weather conditions. If he is at home all day living in luxury all he will do is become spoiled and rely on his owner for everything. Sometimes dogs raised in isolation are not the most functional. If he lived as a house dog and he went out into the world be lost. His senses would not come in because everything would be done for him.
Many authors exaggerate it by having animals work, have parties, and do extremely impossible things. Jack London doesn’t do that. One example is when Buck gets tired after too much pulling with his owner, but he still pushes through like a wild animal, and he thrives through it, he doesn’t stop for some tea. One quote from the novel is, “the wound-stiffened team was under way, struggling painfully over the hardest part of the trail they had yet encountered, and for that matter, the hardest between them and Dawson…,” (London 17). This quote proves that they struggle just like normal animals and are not exaggerated as much as others usually are. It does not state that he goes to a party. It clearly shows how they have to push through. It also tells us that Buck is totally fit to be a sled
Buck started as a pampered large house dog was stolen and he was forced to adapt to the cold Alaskan conditions. Bucks environment has changed from the beginning of the book he has lived in warm Santa Clara valley California but he must adapt to these cool harsh icy conditions of Alaska“Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley” (London 21). Judge Miller 's place, it was called” (London 21) Buck used to live in sunny California and lived with a rich family and occasionally went hunting with his owner... But now he has gone to Alaska where it 's a cold barren and unforgiving landscape where he must adapt to survive "This first theft marked Buck as fit to survive in the hostile Northland environment. It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to
This shows that Buck had something that the other dogs did not such as great pride. All in all, Buck was basically taught to believe and have pride in himself at Judge
buck fulfills his quest and becomes the leader of the team. Buck and the team are handed over to a scotch half-breed to pull mail as part of the mail train. At night, Buck sits by the fire and dreams of a prehistoric caveman, he also begins to instinctively howl along with the other dogs. Dave breaks under the strain and has to be put down by the scotch half-breed. Hal, Charles, and Mercedes are civilized, city people, and are uninformed of the ways of the wild.
Buck’s owner had died and he visited the sight of his death before living on as a wolf, “but every year he returns to the place Thornton died, to mourn his master before returning to his life in the wild”. Everyone has lost someone in their lives. It’s just a part of life, just how Buck treats it like a real human being, but then goes back to his life as a wolf. Buck also overcomes the adversity of the abusive owners. Buck tries to fight the owners off but gets suffocated,”Then the rope tightened mercilessly, while Buck struggled in a fury, his tongue lolling out of his mouth”. Buck is overcoming the harsh and abusive conditions of these owners. We go through times in our lives that are tough like Buck. Some say that the abusive manner towards the dogs is too much. But, it shows how much Buck has changed through the book, how he has become stronger, and how we treat dogs
Buck first starts out at a peaceful place he called home.Buck spent his days lying by Judge Miller’s feet in front of the flickering flames in his fireplace and running freely at will. This is when Buck’s primal instincts are sleeping. This par6t of the poem shows this part of Buck’s life “...it’s Brumal sleep…” (London 1). Most dogs spend their
He went from being pampered to a well disciplined dog then as he becomes a work dog he becomes aggressive, leading to a fight for leadership. Finally Buck becomes attached and loved by John Thornton, but he faces an ultimate conflict with himself, whether to become wild or not.
The most obvious and important change in Buck’s life is when he is stolen from his house. In a way, when Buck is captured, he starts an entirely new life. His new life living wild is one that is polar opposite to his past life. “Chapter I, ‘Into the Primitive,’ describes the great dog’s kidnapping from Judge Miller’s pastoral ranch and his subsequent endurance of the first rites of his initiation—the beginning of the transformation that ultimately carries him deep into Nature’s heart of darkness” (Labor 119). Buck goes from a beautiful, massive house where he lived an entertaining life with his first family to surviving in the cold, vast wilderness while knowing absolutely no one. While living on the beautiful property, he was really close
