A Review of
The Call of The Wild
After reading
The Call of
The Wild
, I have a lot of feelings.
First, 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-leks (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
impossible
to
accomplish.
Because
of
sense
of
honor,
Dave
insists
on
working till he dies.
And
t
hrough
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
club and fang. Buck gradually realizes
