Call Of The Wild

In the book The Call of the Wild the author’s name is Jack London. This book is a fiction book, which means that it is a book that was made up by the author, but could possibly happen in real life. Jack London first published the book in 1903. The man himself is an amazing writer, and his book turned out in a very fine way. The book The Call of the Wild was taken place mostly in the Yukon territory, during 1896, when the Klondike Gold Rush first began. This was a very cold, and depressing time for many. Many had died, or wasted all their time and money to find gold, and came to the point to where they had found nothing. The story took place in Alaska and in, now called, Canada. The setting was in 1896 all the way thru 1899. Almost more than

100,000 people travelled to the Klondike Gold Rush, and very few found gold. The Call of the Wild was written in third person limited omniscient.Which is when the “narrator” tells the story, but is not actually in the story.

The main character was named Buck. He was a scotch shepherd dog, that was at first owned by Judge Miller. He was a strong dog, and soon, a very fierce one that is not afraid to kill anyone, or anything.
Many characters had conflicted with Buck in the story.

First there was Manuel. Manuel was a poor farmer that had a problem with gambling. He gambled, and lost, so he stole Buck to pay for his bet. Next, there was “The Man in the Red Sweater.” He had a club, and beat Buck with it, to get Buck to listen to all his commands. Buck fastly learned “The Law of the Club and Fang.” Then, there was Spitz. Spitz was the leader of the pack, he was the most ferocious, and the scariest. He cared about no other dog, and killed any dog that tried to kill him. Buck hated him deeply, and wanted to be the leader. Spitz and Buck got into their last fight, and he was killed. There was Dolly who was the second dog that tried to kill Buck. He tried killing Buck because he wanted Buck’s spot as leader for the pack. The Man in the Red Sweater was another person that conflicted with Buck in his journey. He was a man with a club that beat Buck, until Buck was to weak to fight. He tortured and beat Buck, almost even to Buck’s death. He was the one that taught Buck “The Law of Club and Fang.” There was Francois, who was a very strict dog sled driver. Hal was also a conflict to Buck. He was a young man who purchased Buck, and many other dogs. He mistreated the dogs very badly, almost to where most of the dogs had died. John Thornton was an older man that Buck very deeply loved. John saved Buck from dying, and treated him very fairly. The Yeehats were a group of indians that had killed John while Buck was

hunting for food. They were soon terrorized by Buck once he found out that they killed John, and Buck killed the whole tribe.

The main plot of the story has only one character, which is Buck. Buck goes through so many different problems during his journey through the Klondike trail. He gets traded, sold, abused, and most of all heartbroken. Buck is a strong dog to live through everything he has been through. Many people and animals conflict with his life, but Buck is the main character.
The Call of the Wild starts off by introducing the main character, Buck.

Buck is a mixed dog between a St. Bernard, and a Sheepdog. Buck lives on Judge Miller’s farm. He gets sold by one of Judge Miller’s gardener’s helpers. This man’s name is Manuel. Buck is soon part of a dog sled team, and runs on the Klondike trail in Alaska, and also Canada. Buck soon fights with many dogs to finally get to be leader. Soon Spring comes, and Buck’s crew is not the brightest. So they make all the dogs try to go over the lake, and John Thornton stops them and takes Buck. Soon, the whole crew falls into the lake. John Thornton gets killed by a group of indians. Buck kills them all. Buck soon goes into the wild, and instead of being a pet dog, he is a beast.

I like how everything is written in the book. The author certainly knew his grammar, and for that reason the book was very enjoyable. I would not read it over again, only because the book kind of bored me. I would read it again if I had to, but not if I wanted to. There really is not anything you could improve in this book. It’s very greatly

written.
The only memorable thing that I had with The Call of the Wild would be Buck. He was beaten, and sold, and heartbroken, but through all of that Buck stayed strong. That reminds me that if I ever go through hardships in life, and I know I will, all I need to do is stay strong, and I will succeed in anything.
One memorable quote that I had oddly remembered, was “So that was the way. No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.” Buck remembered that if he went down, there was no way you’re gonna get back up. Once you are down. You are down. The dogs that Buck was around didn’t act like dogs, they acted like savage beasts. Who killed anyone, and anything.
In conclusion, the book Call of the Wild is a wonderful book. Many different themes about this book, and out of all it was a very interesting book. All of the characters were described good, and you could tell that all of these dogs were ferocious killers, not friendly dogs. Buck is a brave, strong, and ferocious dog that you would not want to mess with.
