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.
