The Call Of The Wild
The book The Call of the Wild is an excellent book. It is about a dog named Buck, who had to struggle while turning from a tame dog to a wild dog. He ran into cruel people, but a man named John Thorton saved his life. Buck and Thorton were devoted to each other until Thorton was killed. Buck then had to live by himself in the wild. I enjoyed this book because of the interesting plot and descriptive phrases. I would recommend this book to other fourth and fifth graders because it is marvelous.
The Call Of The Wild
Jack London's The Call of the Wild is about eh journeys of a part St. Bernard and part sheepdog named Buck. This book is very inspiring and well written. On Buck's journey to the gold rush going on in northern Canada he encounters many changes and adventures. Being kidnapped from his leisurely home in California Buck finds himself going through dog traders on his way to Seattle. He is bought by two Canadian mailmen that need a sled dog to pull them north. During his stay with the two mailmen Fracois and Perrault, Buck develops a rivalry with the lead sled dog Spitz. Buck ends up showing that he is a changed dog and has adapted to the life in the north when he kills the lead dog Spitz. Buck becomes a great lead dog. London does a wonderful job of showing how Buck grows to become adapted to his new surroundings and his new way of life tin the north. London also shows how the wilderness can be cruel and an unpredictable place. I recommend this book to anyone who loves animals and the great outdoors. I think that this is a well written masterpiece that will be loved everyone who reads it.
The Call Of The Wild
Taken from his home of comfort and luxury, Buck is sold and moved north illegally. He is mistreated and abused as he is harnessed to work a sled dog's life. Buck quickly learns the harsh law of club and fang in his gold-hungry Alaskan environment. As the instinct of his ancestors surfaces, he gains wisdom and courage which help him to survive. Through long journeys and different masters, he becomes more wild and begins to forget his mellow past. While north, Buck experiences suffering, triumph, friendship, and love from both men and dogs in Jack London's book. I first chose to read this because I thought that it would be an interesting book of a dog struggling in the Alaskan cold. When I read it, the book turned out to be much more than I had expected. Torn between the worlds of civilization and the wild, Buck fights to live among gold-greedy miners in the northern widerness. He is forced out of comfort and tirelessly pulls sleds in a world where only the strong and fittest survive. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of its detailed and action-filled events. I found it especially addicting during the high-speed dogsled runs or the hide-tearing fights. Jack London's Call of the Wild is a spectacular and adventurous book that should be read by everyone!
The Call Of The Wild
This was my first book by Jack London. He had an amazing gift of painting a picture of the dog world. I don't know for sure what dogs think or feel, but Jack London apparently did, and what he wrote is believable. Buck is the "Rocky" of the dog world, and this is a very inspiring book that reads like it really happened this way. Some of what Buck experienced is not an easy read, but I recommend this for anyone -- like me -- who is new to the genre.
The Call Of The Wild
In response to other reviews, i think that this book has to have some gore as to convey the truth. ignoring the truth makes the truth mch harder when you have no choice ut to embrace it. Knowing and accepting the truth makes it much easier to handle. for this reason i think that Jack Londen has every right if not responsibilty to include as much gore as is in this book.
