Call of the Wild, by Jack London

Buck
----------------------------------------------
        Throughout the novel The Call of the Wild, we follow a dog named Buck
through his journey through the Klondike.  We experience a
transformation in him, as he adapts to the cold, harsh land where he is
forced to toil in the snow, just to help men find a shiny metal. Buck
seems to almost transform into a different dog by the end of the book.
In this essay, I will go over what Buck was like, how and why he was
forced to adapt to his new environment, and what he changed into.
        When we first met up with Buck, he lived in the Santa Clara Valley, on
Judge Miller’s property. He was the ruler of his domain, uncontested by

Husky and wolf dogs. Buck was thrown into a pen with a man who had a
club. This is where Buck would learn one of the two most important laws
that a dog could know in the Klondike. The law of club is quite simple,
if there is a man with a club, a dog would be better off not to
challenge that man. Buck learned this law after he was beaten half to
death by the man who had the club. no matter what he tried, he just
couldn't win.
        Buck was sold off to a man who put him in a harness connected to many
other dogs. Buck was bad at first, but eventually, he learned the way of
trace and trail.  Buck had to learn many things if he was to survive in
this frigid land.  He had to learn to sleep under the snow, and to eat
his food as fast as possible so as not to have it stolen. At about this
point in the book, we see Buck start to go through a me...
