The Call of the Wild

Jack London's novel The Call of the Wild watching the characters chang throughout the novel is one example I loved reading.

When I hear something about the novel The Call of the Wild this reminds me about the zeal of survival when it comes to mind. As example this novel has a great deal of anthropomorphism.  I believe the whole book covers the zeal to survive, whether it is Buck, Spitz, or John or any others. All in all it reminds me that you have to have the skills to survive. And that is what Buck had after fighting Spitz and showing he could be the top dog if he wanted to after defeating his rival. I believe that in The Call of the Wild it shows the zeal of survival. The weather is very brumal in the novel, and it can actually make you imagine it and feel it within you. Buck also shows celerity through his swiftness and speed that is read throughout the novel. Jack London created this novel character wise to be different. In many ways does Spitz, Buck, and John make me aggravated at some points, and then other times I'm fist pumping in the air. If I were to compare this novel, I would compare it to Eight Below, it is pretty much the same story line sled dogs, survival stories, etc. Also I would compare it to how my step dad went to Alaska, he seen some people like this quite a few times. He brought back some memorabilia about these sled dogs. The scene effects their lifestyle in many ways, a few being, weather, sickness, tiredness, loneliness, etc.

My recommendation is that I would certainly tell others about this novel, also a very relying story that can tell you lots of good survival information skills. This novel has taught me lots by expressing it through my actions while reading such a tremendous novel.

What Does Being Human Mean

When the question what does human mean come to mind I think of three things. One being to show feeling, another would be to be able to think, the final thing being to believe. All of these three things show the true meaning of life I would say. In other words it is saying you need to be able to think about your decisions, to show feeling to others, and to believe in yourself, life, and others. These things to mean describe my life and I can truly say these define my life. Sometimes life can be arduous in many ways. Meaning that it can be difficult at times but you just have to get back up and proceed with greatness. Life can attack you from all different sides at some points in your time, which is said to be beset. Do your best in life and do everything possible to make it even better.
