Buck's Survival In The Call Of The Wild

Have you ever heard the calls? Buck sure has. In the novel The Call of The Wild by Jack London, Buck is a large st. Bernard that lives in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley with Judge Miller. As the story goes on Buck gets dognapped and sent to the man in the red sweater. The man in the red sweater is also known as the crack dog doctor.

Buck 's intelligence and strength helped him survive, but the determination and will to live is what really got Buck through his hardships. A major theme in The Call of the Wild is "Determination can get you through anything," a statement Buck proves multiple times. Buck was a strong-willed dog that faced many challenges, from being kidnapped, sold to Alaskan gold miners, becoming a sled-dog and conflict with other dogs. While Buck 's wits, strength, and most likely some luck assisted him in his journey, Buck stayed determined throughout and it got him to where he wanted to be.  In the beginning, Buck was a pampered dog, he lived in a nice house with a family that loved and cared for him.

Since Buck kills the indians before they killed him it is kill or be killed.. After everything calms down, Buck hears wolves coming and charges them. he hates wild dogs from the wild husky incident. For example, he breaks some of their necks before they can kill him. Since the wolves want to kill Buck it is kill or be killed.

This is a story of a 4 year old dog named Buck. Buck is half St.Bernard half Scotch Shepard weighing around 140 pounds. His long warm coat and tough feet protect him from the severe Yukon climate. Bucks lean and athletic build makes him a great part of the sled dog team. Buck’s physical features have proven valuable to the sled dog team.

“He had been suddenly jerked from the heart of civilization and flung into the heart of things primordial.” (London, 16). In the novel The Call of the Wild by Jack London, Buck, a Saint Bernard-Scotch Shepherd mix originates in sunny, civilized Santa Clara Valley, CA during the gold rush. He rules his demesne like a king, but sadly he is stolen by Manuel, a familiar gardener. Buck is brought to a dog breaker and seller, through him Buck meets Perrault and Francois.

I think that buck was actually better off as a house dog rather than a sled dog, why? I think so because as in the story states that he got provided with water and caught his own meal. So he somewhat has a wild side, but is also tamed. Also he knows how to interact with humans properly and is correctly mattered inconsiderate of his size. He’s also very trust giving, as in the way that he trust people that he knows.

In the beginning of chapter one Buck, from the Call of The Wild, is describe to have multiple appearance traits. One of which is that buck is a large dog and only weighs about one hundred and forty pounds. In addition, Buck is a Saint Bernard, which means that he probably has a large fur coat. Not only this but buck was described to be neither housedog nor kennel dog. Based on this description I have a few thoughts of how Buck will deal with the hardships of the Yukon Territory.

These trips would take weeks and months. The book Call Of the Wild tells the story of Buck, a muscular dog stolen from his home in Santa Clara Valley, California and sold as a sled dog in Canada’s Yukon territory during the gold rush of the 1890s. Buck shows a growth mindset and adaptability many times throughout the book Call of the Wild; he shows it when he learns to steal and not starve, he learns how to change his body to survive, and learns to complete loyalty.

In the book Call of the Wild the theme is that those who can adapt to their circumstances and make the best of things will thrive. There are many examples throughout the book that support this theme, one of the main examples being how Buck changes and adapts. The first night that Buck stays with the team of dogs he learns an important lesson; that to stay warm while you sleep you should bury yourself under the snow. This lesson allowed Buck to stay warm and survive. Another example of how Buck adapted was when he learned the Law of Club and Fang.

The novel “Call Of the Wild”, by Jack London, explains many themes throughout the book. An important theme throughout the novel is “Kill or be killed.” While Buck is trying to adapt to his new surroundings, he has to learn how to survive and fight. Each owner and dog in the novel has to survive for themselves just like Buck does throughout the whole novel. If Buck doesn’t kill for food or for his new owners throughout the novel, he could be killed himself.

Call of the Wild is a book about a sled pulling dog named Buck, Buck wasn’t always pulling sleds though. He used to be a domesticated dog living under the roof of a rich Judge, but all of that changed when he was captured and sold to two men who were crossing the Yukon territory. Through many courses of events, Buck became wild, hence the name of the book. This book takes place in the Yukon territory which was freezing and conditions were very rough, by the end of the story Buck had changed because of the problems he faced.

Buck had to get into a fight. He had to kill another dog; his world had become much harsher. Buck being pulled into the harsh world by being kidnapped and then having to fight in it shows how harsh his world has
