The call of the wild

The call of the wild is a famous works by Jack London. When I saw the book’s

name, I thought it must talks about a wolf or a tiger. In fact it’s a dog acts as the main role of this novel. A dog named Buck. This book successfully describes a vivid character. In the book , the dog-Buck , brings us his unstable and amazing life . Of course , he is a luck pet as he has a good owner , but his potential and essence never promise him a comfortable life .

At the beginning of the story, Buck lives a happy life. He lives at a big house in the sun-kissed santa clara vally. His duty is playing with judge’s children. But one of the gardener’s helpers named Manuel, he kidnaps Buck and sells him to other people. Buck isn’t a respectable dog any longer. Buck and other a few dogs have to pull sleds for Charles and Hal. The weather is very bad.

In the excess of their own misery they were callous to the suffering of their animals. Dogs are very tired. And through it all Buck staggered along at the head of the team in a nightmare. His muscles had disappeared. Finally Buck gives up, he can’t move any more.

A man called john Thornton saves Buck, so Buck always gets together with him. But John is killed by the Yeehats. Buck likes a madman, he kills all the Yeehats. His wild nature erupt. At the end of the story runs with wolfs, side by side with the wild brother, yelping as he runs.

I think this story tells us three views.

Firstly, at different life environment trains different characters. When Buck lives at that big house, he is lazy and pleasure. When he is kidnaped, he becomes violent and cruel .

Secondly, just have ability, you can alive. Life belongs to the power man , as an old saying goes “ chance always give one who has prepared .” Buck fights with Spitz, as a stronger, he beats Spitz. Buck give us a example.

Thirdly, human nature has selfish nature. Liking Manuel kidnaps Buck to get

money . liking Charles and Hal never misgivings dogs health.

This novel revels a brute fact , the world is controlled by the stronger. We just a nobody, and always at the mercy of others. Nobody can live happily , if they are deprived of adequate ability . There are many tough things in the world .So it’s necessary for us to adapt to the world .

In the world we can find innumerable Buck , a stable life can't discover their abilities . Although all of us prefer our lives will go smoothly , ups and downs are ubiquitous , so perseverance and ability is specially important. Many people have cosmic potential , when stimulated , potential will break out . Some one just appropriate as nobody , but someone doom to be somebody and he will to do something .
