the Call of the Wild英文读后感

Abstract: I read The Call of the Wild during May Day, a novel by Jack

London

who

was

an

American

author.

Buck,

a

domesticated

dog

living at a ranch in the Santa Clara valley of California is the novel's

central

character.

Unfortunately,

he

is

stolen

by

the

gardener

and

sold into the brutal existence of an Alaskan sled dog. He reverts to

atavistic traits. Buck has to adjust to, and survive, cruel treatments

and fight to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate. He sheds the

veneer of civilization, relying on primordial instincts and lessons he

learns, to emerge as a leader in the wild at last. While reading the

story of Buck, I shed tears of sorrow and sympathy, and was moved

by great courage and the bravery he has shown in the face of every

challenge. The only thing I can do is to cheer for him in silence and

wish he can be stronger to fight with difficulties. From Buck, what I

have learnt is to fight bravely and intellectually until the last minute

in my life. And that is a great asset we should learn to gain. I choose

the

book

to

finish

my

book

report

just

because

I

appreciate

Buck

very much.

Key

words:

brave,

perseverance,

The

Call

of

the

Wild,

survival,

fighting

First of all, I would like to mention the author Jack London when I

share

my

views

of

The

Call

of

the

Wild.

London

was

a

passionate

advocate

of

unionization,

socialism,

and

the

rights

of

workers

and

wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics such as his

dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of

the Abyss, and The War of the Classes. [1]From his works, we can

easily

see

that

Jack

London

writes

books

in

a

way

of

realism

and

naturalism.

Also

the

reflection

of

naturalism

is

manifested

in

The

Call

of

the

Wild.

With

The

Call

of

the

Wild

published

in

1903,

it

made

a

reputation

for

London.

As

early

as

1908

the

novels

was

adapted

to

film

and

it

has

since

seen

several

more

cinematic

adaptations.

The

book

secured

London

a

place

in

the

canon

of

America

literature.

The Call of the Wild is one of the masterpieces of Jack London, whic

h was combined with his experiences in the north when he was eng

aged in looking for gold. [3]

The story was written as a frontier adventure and in such a way that

it worked well as a serial., it is good episodic writing that embodies

the style of magazine adventure writing popular in that period.

leaves

us

with

satisfaction

at

its

outcome,

a

story

well

and

truly

told,

As

we

can

know

(if

you

have

read

the

book),

Buck

has

a

lot

of

excellent quality, such as loyalty, powerful, intelligence and valiant

fighting.

At

the

same

time,

Buck

is

thankful.

He
