several things that happen. Generally people go out and find a job and become useful to society. They go out and find a nice girl to marry and have children. Life becomes more or less systematic and repetitive. Chris gave up all of these to chase a wild dream that inevitably led to his death. Chris was a selfish child. He exhibited many of the

In life you have up’s and down’s, sometimes you have to persevere in order to gain control of your life. In Call Of The Wild, whenever something awful happened to Buck he had to decipher on how to adapt to certain things. For Example, he would have to adapt to the weather, food, and people. Buck also felt formidable with many of his owners, because they were big and he was small. In contrast, my mother had a difficult time adapting to Kansas other than other states and people. While Buck and my mother

Everybody has a challenge in their life where they need a lot of perseverance. In The Call of the Wild, Buck is forced out of his old life and thrown into the wilderness where he needs to learn how to survive. In contrast to Buck, like most adults, my dad went through a parent's death which needed perseverance and had to figure out how to live on his own. While Buck and my dad’s experiences are different, they both had to learn how to live on their own. Those are just somethings that show how everyone

No matter what you’re fighting against, in order to win, you must persevere. In Call of the Wild, Buck must fight against the harsh and snowy climate, and even dogs from his own team. On the other hand, my grandma didn’t let anything get in her way when the doctors discovered she had cancer. Even though my grandma and Buck have lived very different lives, both of them had to persevere through their problems. Everybody will deal with something rough in their life, which is why we must use perseverance

Realism in Call of the Wild Imagine, running free in the woods, not a single care of what people think, only relying the the most primordial instincts of the past. Call of the Wild is a novella by Jack London in which the main character, Buck, does just that. Buck is a dog who was wrenched from his sunny California home to be used as a sled dog in harsh Alaska snow. This is a more realistic occurrence than one would think, fitting in with the rest of the book. Whether it comes to the way that

Part 2: In-Depth Questions Author’s Note- I believe that McCandless’s motive for this behaviour is that he did something wrong and he must get away from it. I believe it will be not that difficult; maybe when starting out it might be impossible but I believe it is doable. Themes: activities that young men encounter, the bond between a father and his son, an American imagination; these themes don’t really relate to me because i don’t feel like i have a connection with society telling me to be “reckless

I think the main theme of Jack London's The Call of the Wild is "Only the strong survive in the wild." I think this because that is insinuated throughout the whole book. Some examples of who this happened to is Dolly, Curly, and Spitz. You will find out how this happened. Dolly was a female dog. She was nice to Buck and every other dog (Except for Spitz, because he was mean to all of the other dogs). One day, the whole group got attacked and they were badly injured. Dolly got her throat torn. This

He left everything behind; his family, his possessions, and his home. All the possessions he has are the items on his person. Leaving all this to adventure out into the Alaskan wilderness. His ill-equipped person, and little knowledge over the land, he wants to try to spend a few months out in the middle of nowhere, with no-one around

When Westerberg first laid eyes on McCandless, he knew that he had to bring him underneath his wing. "The youngsters' eyes... conveyed a vulnerability that made Westerberg want to take the kid under his wing." (Pg 14). It doesn't help with the fact that McCandless is an amicable kid to be around with, add his good looks that "woman made a big fuss over", McCandless was well liked. The people of Carthage, including Westerberg, also liked his stories of his travels and he wouldn't mind a bit, as he
