The call of the wild
The Call of the Wild is one of my favorite novels.The writer of it is Jack London was born in12 January 1876 and died in 22 November 1916.He was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books.A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a lucrative career exclusively from writing.Buck.The main character.buck was born a distinctive dog, who had inherited strength from his father and wisdom from his mother.What’s more, he was born in a notable family.Thus he was brought well without much hardship.But the news that people have found gold in the Arctic zone made dogs a very precious transportation tool.Unfortunately, buck was sold by a greedy servant.Thus began his long journey as a transportation dog.First, he was very furious with the people who got close to him.But one day, a man who was very skillful at training dogs, beat Buck so hard that Buck learnt the leon of Law of Club and Fang.Form then on, he was submiive to anyone who held a club.Then he was traded to two men who went to the Arctic zone to search fortune.It was in the groups of dogs that he met the leader dog, Spitz.As we have said before, Buck was a dog that was very different.He had the instinct to be the leader.But the situation wasn’t that optimistic.However he waited and waited for the best chance.And at last, it did come.It was in the race of chasing a rabbit that Buck defeated Spitz and Spitz was eaten by the hungry group of dog.Then Buck established his leadership.After the group of dogs got to the Arctic zone, they began another long and tired journey.They had to deliver letters from workers in the Arctic zone to their family members.The journey was full of hardship.They lacked of food, at the same time they had to travel a long way every day as scheduled.What’s worse, the two men who were in charge of the groups of dogs beat Buck really hard.One day, the two owners beat Buck so hard that he was going to die.Just then, a man named John Thornton came out to stop the “slaughter”.Buck was saved and he established a firm friendship with John Thornton.Buck helped John won a gamble and saved his life once.But what made Buck really outstanding was his revenge for his master.One day aborigines slaughtered his master and the other people.Because of Buck’s deep love for his master, he lost his control and bitten the aborigines and drove them away.In the end, he became the leader of a group of wolves in the valley where he was known
as Ghost Dog and where the aborigines could never take the risk to step into the valley
What is “the wild” in The Call of the Wild? In my opinion, “the wild” means a real dog that has not been tamed by humans, a dog that wants to go back to nature without any sign of humans, or we can say a dog that wants to be a wolf, as we all know wolves are the ancestors of dogs.On the other hand, “the wild” also means the wild nature.So we can say that “The Call of the Wild” also means “The Call of the Nature”.Why does Buck want to go back to nature? Buck was born in a notable family, and lived a comfortable and happy life.But when he was sold out and had the chance to get close to nature, he got wilder and wilder.In the end, he revenged his master, drove out the aborigine and lived alone with his gang of wolves without any human.His going back to nature is a perfect explanation for his extreme disappointment to human civilization for he was badly treated by humans, even though his last master was very friendly to him.My opinion, Jack London’s arrangement for Buck’s fate was somewhat affected by the ideas of atavism.Survival of the fittest Previously Buck was a very notable and gracious dog.But when he was sold out he learnt to steal other dogs’ food for the first time because there was not enough food.If he didn’t steal, he mightn’t survive.Loyalty Though Buck’s master changed for several times, he always
Showed respect to his masters.Especially when his last master was in danger, he even risked his own life to save his master.Praise for hard-working though the condition was extremely tough, Buck led his group of dog to the Arecas we know, Buck answers the call of and returns to the wild finally.In my opinion, the call is not from the wild though Buck often hears the howl of the wolves.Instead, it is from the bottom of Buck’s heart.The call is the will or the instinct which makes him wants to be him: A wolf.I think every one of us has a call in our hearts.The call is our dream, goal or something we really want to do.However, under the preure of society, we often have to give up our dreams or goals, and do things we are unwilling to do.So we should learn something from Buck: Just follow the call, and be yourself!Tic zone succeful
Although Buck is a dog, but his tough way of life and his attitude to the life can absolutely reflect the real world of the author’s age.What’s more, the connotation the story wants to tell us is the inevitable result of the development of capitalism.It teaches us if we want to survive we must perfect ourselves now and then and we should know the real meaning of the theory “the survival of the fittest”.Simultaneously the author suggests that in the competitive
society and the austere natural environment only the person who is of enormous perseverance and strength can have the poibility of survival.In the story, the relationship between human and dog changes along with the attitude that human treats the dog.But unfortunately, Buck never receives equal love and respect from human being.Actually, the author also wants to appeal for the humanity and sympathy for animals as well
The dogs in the book are all loyal to their masters.For example, a man makes a wager with Thornton over Buck's strength and devotion.Buck wins the bet by breaking a half-ton sled out of the frozen ground, then pulling it 100 yards by himself.In addition, all dogs have sense of honor.They are all proud of being sled dogs, and devote themselves to the work.For example, Dave, who is going to die, still insists on working.“Sick as he was, Dave resented being taken out, grunting and growling while the traces were unfastened and whimpering broken-heartedly when he saw Sol-leeks(another dog)in the position he had held and served so long.For the pride of trace and trail was his, and, sick to death, he could not bear that another dog should do his work.” Both loyalty and honor are based on love which is what touches me deeply.Because of love to Thornton, Buck does such thing that seems impoible to accomplish.Because of sense of honor, Dave insists on working till he dies
As we know, Buck answers the call of and returns to the wild finally.In my opinion, the call is not from the wild though Buck often hears the howl of the wolves.Instead, it is from the bottom of Buck’s heart.The call is the will or the instinct which makes him want to be himself: A wolf.I think every one of us has a call in our hearts.The call is our dream, goal or something we really want to do.However, under the preure of society, we often have to give up our dreams or goals, and do things we are unwilling to do.So we should learn something from Buck: Just follow the call, and be yourself!
Through Buck’s experiences living in the wild, Jack London wants to tell us that the world is dominated by those who are much stronger and more powerful than common people, and only the stronger ones could exist.This is the law of the club and fang.Buck gradually realizes the law and begins to obey the law after he is stolen and taken to the wild.The savage environment which is full of tricks, dangers and deaths turns him to be more powerful and cunning.Finally, he becomes the leader of his team.Similar to the wild, our society becomes crueler and crueler, and living in the society becomes harder and harder.If you want to exist, to have a good life, you should be tough enough to stand the sufferings;you should keep alert, watch and learn;you should make yourself stronger than others.This is the law of living.
