The Call of the Wild

“W

hen the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the

lower

valleys,

he

may

be

seen

running

at

the

head

of

the

back

through

the

pale

moonlight

or

glimmering

borealis,

leaping

gigantic

above

his

followers,

his

great

throat a bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.

”

There

was

a

script

about

the

savage

life

in

the

frozen

north

of

ice

and

snow.

There

were

the

unexplored

north

areas

of

America

and

the

19th-century

Klondike

Gold Rush which dragged men from the entire world into the hard wild to look for

gold. There was a road where a gigantic dog like human fought his way to struggle in

the wasteland. There was a civilized beast grew from mildness to wildness. And there

came the call of the wild.

The background and plot

In the 19

th

century, it was said that gold had been found in the Klondike area in

Northern

California

of

vast

wilderness,

so

thousands

of

people

rushed

into

this

uncultivated

ground

to

seek

for

gold

and

fortune,

which

needed

a

large

quantity

of

dogs

to

support

for

the

transportation.

There

came

up

Buck

story

which

we

can

’

t

define it as luckiness or unluckiness.

Buck,

a

dog

weighed

one

hundred

and

forty

pounds,

tall,

strong,

and

heavy

muscled, lived a cozy and comfortable life in a rich family of a Judge named Miller,

but was soled by evil gardener to two dog dealers and was took to Alaska as a sled

dog.

Led by his second masters, two governmental couriers, he studied how to pull a

sled and how to live in this cruel world where needed more cunning behavior and less

fake

moral

and

courtesy.

For

example,

he

learned

to

sleep

in

the

snow

hole

to

get

warmness

from

the

clod

nights,

and

he

learned

to

thief

bacon

and

food

from

his

masters and

neighboring camps,

as well as that,

he learned how

to

fight

effectively

and

efficiently

with

his

antagonists

and

survive

of

the

combat

about

the

dominant

leader with Spitz. In addition to those, he also went through the hardships in the toil

on the ice layer, and he learned how to obtain the victory and stand on the wilderness

which was beneficial to himself who can only fit the environment, but can

’

t defy the

harness.

After the arduous trace and trail, they finally reached the destination, and then,

after a short break, dogs including Buck led by a Scotch half- breed man stepped again

on

the

ice

land

with

the

Salt

Water

Mail.

It

was

a

hard

trip

and

a

monotonous

life

operating like machine that dogs must undertake the heave pulling and poor condition

where they were tired and short of weight.

Buck

’

partner, Dave who had something

wrong inside suffered most of all, but pride as he was, pulling the sled was his holy

missionary job which can fulfill his life and must be done until his death. However,

the tough work was still continuous.

Thirty days passes, by which time Buck and his mates found how really tired and

weak they are until they arrived at the last town. They were in a wretched state, worn

out and worn out, which was not the tiredness that came from a brief and excessive

effort

and

can

be

recovered

from

some

hours

’

rest,

but

was

the

dead

tiredness

that

came through the slow and prolonged strength drainage of months of toil and had to

need

a

long

vocation

to

evacuate.

Nevertheless,

only

three

days

after

they

were

bought by a family including a foolish woman, a callow and ignorant youngster, and a

middle aged man with weak and watery eyes. Never mind of dog

’

s frazzle, the third

masters tried their best to lash out at them with whip, but Buck was not under very

good command and not proud and interested of this career. Until they reached at the

camp of Thornton, with the natural instinct and extreme weariness, Buck tolerated the

whip from his so called masters and refused to go ahead which was his luckiness to

meet his last master, Thornton.

Without

doubt,

Thornton

was

a

good

master,

full

of

wisdom,

intelligence

and

love who can manage Buck

’

s life comfortably and in order. By the careful attendance

form his new master, Buck was on his feet quickly and solidly. Filled with the loying

love

toward

his

master,

Buck

companied

him,

saved

his

life

for

several

times

and

helped

him

win

the

gambling

party.

Then,

they

faced

into

the

East

on

an

unknown

trail to achieve where men and dogs as good as themselves has failed, as the call from

the wild became stronger and stronger which attracted Buck to leave the civilization

to

look

for.

The

knife

that

cut

out

the

bound

of

Buck

between

his

masters

was

the

master

’

s deaths which left a void in the dog

’

s heart and a strengthened calling from

the

wild.

Buck,

a

civilized

dog,

finally

went

back

to

wolves

after

thousands

of

generation by singing a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.

Survive of the fittest

The Call of the Wild abounded in Darwinism which advocated the evolutionism

and natural selection theory.

In the process of having to leave the comfortable Miller

’

s house and adapt to the

harsh

primitive

snowfield,

Buck

went

through

the

changes

from

the

mildness

to

wildness where he studied the law of club and fang and admitted the rule of failure

without

progress.

“

He

had

learned

well

the

law

of

club

and

fang,

and

he

never

forewent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to death.

”

“

He must master or be mastered,

”

“

Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and

this mandate, down out of the depths of time, he obeyed.

”

After analysis, we can find that related to the Darwinism, learning ability was an

important

factor

of

the

victory

of

living

of

Buck.

As

a

south

dog

living

in

the

rich

family

and

innocent

environment,

Buck

was

not

wary

of

Manuel

’

s

uncommon

behavior, but situation has changed entirely after a period of barbaric life: he showed

hostility to his all possible mates and took precaution of everything. As well as that,

throwing

away

the

moral

standard

and

facing

the

death

of

starvation,

Buck

had

an

ability of thief.

“

This first theft marked Buck as fit to survive in the hostile Northland

environment.

It

marked

his

adaptability,

his

capacity

to

adjust

himself

to

changing

conditions, the lack of which would have meat swift and terrible death.

” I

n addition to

those, his muscles became hard as iron, and he grew dumb to all ordinary pain, and he

can successful take full use of all the elements no matter internal or external. That

’

s

the

progression

of

Buck

which

can

equip

him

with

thick

helmets

from

being

hurt

deeply and made him be the fittest.
