Call of the wild report
"Buck was no ordinary dog. He was bigger than a wolf and smarter than
any other dog that ever lived."
This book is mostly about a fairly big dog who was strong mentally and
physically, even though he only starts off as a regular pet. His name
was Buck. From the start everyone thought he was special.
This book is set in America starting in California and moving to
Alaska, and except for the very beginning its mostly about how buck
learnt how to live the life of a working sleigh dog and how to sleep
outside in the cold snow and having to work extremely hard each day.
In this book I thought the author lacked description as I found it
hard to picture the characters for myself and of those I could imagine
were from the pictures that came up every now and again.
This book is mostly about the adventures of Buck gradually becoming
extremely strong and powerful after working so hard and almost acting
like a real wolf, and he even would be strong enough to beat a wolf at
a fight.
"Every movement showed that he was prepared to be either fierce ...
He decided to explore the area around the lake a bit, and sees an animal in the distance. It’s a wolf.

This story takes place in California and up through Canada towards Alaska, during the Alaskan (Klondike) Gold Rush in the late 1890’s. Naturalism is presented in The Call of the Wild in many ways such as when Buck had the urge to leave to live in the wild. The only thing that was preventing him to go to the wild was his his love for John Thornton, at times Buck did attack him, but he still knew where he stood with him. This shows naturalism because it is dog against nature as well as man against dog. “ But behind him were the shades of all manner of dogs, half-wolves and wild wolves, urgent and prompting, tasting the savor of the meat he ate, thirsting for the water he drank, scenting the wind with him, listening with him and telling him the
I did not like the call of the wild because in the story a lot of dogs got hurt and they also got tortured and killed. It was hard for me to read it because I love dogs and it’s hard for me to read it if dogs are getting hurt. Call of the wild was a good book though it was sad also this book had really good feelings. It was really sad also I cried and it was also sad for buck because he lived in the wild. So call of the wild was a very sad book I would say.

Overcoming and being able to get through exhausting days takes a lot of perseverance. In Call of The Wild, Buck is overworked and has to learn how to get through days with little energy.

While Buck overcame being tired he became physically very strong, my mom became mentally strong from her exhaustion, making them both persevere through the difficult times.
We can define cool hunting as the chase to make quick money as a result of feeding off the trend setting nature of teenagers by manipulating and mass producing products and items into a popular culture before it becomes old news. The implications that we can deduct from this video in terms of cool hunting for creation of new ideas, new music, new art forms, and more, is that something can only be considered “cool” until it is found/discovered. Following the discovery of the product, word begins to spread, thus leading to the commercialization of said product. So much so that it results in a “hot trend” that everyone begins to use, thus inferring that it is no longer “cool” considering everyone is now after the same trend. Which ends up turning
Chris McCandless and Buck serve as examples of the archetype of the wild through their experiences of leaving where they feel most comfortable and answering the call of the wild. They show that each experience is inimitable because the wild is unique to every individual. For Buck, the wild is a place outside of civilization and his dependence on man, where the external threats of nature exist and he must prove himself as a true animal with instincts for survival. In McCandless' case, the place outside of civilization is actually an escape from his fears because the wild for him is in relationships, where the threat of intimacy exists and he must learn to trust others for happiness. This is because for each of us, the wild is what we fear, a place outside of our comfort zone and, as McCandless' experience shows, not necessarily a physical place. To render to the call of the wild we must leave everything that makes us feel protected, and we must make ourselves completely vulnerable to the wild. McCandless and Buck show that in order to successfully respond to the call of the wild we must relinquish control and drop our guards, until ultimately the fear subsides and we find peace with ourselves as well as with our environments.
