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.
