Call of the Wild

I read the book The Call of the Wild by Jack London. This book was published in 1903 and remains his most famous work, which became best seller. London's life had as much adventure as any of his stories. On age of 21, he went north, along with thousands of others, to where gold had been struck in Canada. Jack London mined no gold there, but as a writer, he found a wealth of material. He found exactly the right setting for many of the themes that excited him as a young writer, like the themes in The Call of the Wild. This book is foremost a dog story, but it displays a philosophical depth absent in most animal adventures.

The plot is realistic and most of it is about Buck's experiences while he is on the sled team: "Buck pulled when he could, but he could no longer pull; his muscles had wasted away; it was heartbreaking, only Buck's heart was unbreakable." It is believable and the setting is mainly on the Alaskan- Canadian border, during the winter time period when people were rushing there to find gold. The dialogue is used not very often because most of the book is about describing an adventure.

The main character in this book is Buck. He is a dog, but he is more human than many of the people around him. He goes through many owners, and learns much about the ways of man and dogs. He is b
