The Call of the Wild

Summary:

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be a dog while living the good life in California? Thats exactly how Buck, a husky, is. He's physical impressive dog but then after he got stolen. For him, this means pulling a really REALLY heavy sled through miles and miles of frozen ice. Buck is out of his touch until he begins to adapt to his surroundings, and learn from the other dogs. Buck also starts having strange dreams about the primitive days of dogs and men. Buck becomes involved in a struggle for power with another dog, Spitz. They end up fighting and Buck wins, taking over as leader of the sled dog team.

Conflict:

This book so far is a man (dog) vs self at this point. Buck is struggling to sleep because he tend argues with himself. He tells him self what he can and can't do because of how he looks and what he does when he is around other dogs/people. In my opinion, I found it crazy on how you could be living a good life and all to be gone in a blink of an eye. We should always be grateful for what we have and the things people do for us. Sometimes we tend not be appreciative on the things we have. So we have to appreciate everything because they could disappear from us in a split second.
