Question

WILL FAN AND MEDAL
For the call of the wild, they wanted me to share why I think the author created a certain character and give three elements of characterization and examples of why I chose the character.

I chose Buck and this is what I have for the first part (why the author created that character)
He wanted to write from an animals perspective, and he wanted to show that animals feel pain like humans do. Animals have to submit to a master, like we have to submit to our parents or some other authority.

Answer 1

Animals knew the difference between right and wrong and had to be taught. Animals had personality, and in essence they are intelligent as Buck was.

Answer 2

It sounds great but try to replace some of the "and" & also you actually contradicted yourself when you said Animals knew the difference between right and wrong and had to be taught.

Answer 3

London uses Buck as his first character to justify his theory as he conforms well

to the hostile North. While at Judge Miller's pampered Buck never worries about his

next meal or shelter, yet while in the frozen Klondike he has death at his heels. Until his

body adapts to the toil of the reins, Buck is in need of more food than the other dogs.

He steal food from his masters in order to conform.
the lead dog, constantly watches the team in a dominant manner. If Buck runs the risk of death. He
lays low, learning Spitz's every move. Buck adapts to circumstances until he strikes against Spitz in a f
ight for the dominant position. By killing Spitz, he gains a supreme air, and in turn an adaptation agains
thelaw of the fang. during Buck's leadership. The fledgling dog,

to Francios and Perrault, can’t work up to par for the lead. So Buck conducts himself

as a master sled dog, reaching Francios and Perrault's goals, conforming to the team.

The group goes through snow reaching at least forty miles a day.
In a way Buck heightens the safety of each personand dog. He adapts to the
environment and new position. Within the Call of the Wild, Buck must have a part to justify London's
theory.

In the book London uses Mercedes, Hal, and Charles, a group of very

in-experienced and even less equipped city goers, to depict the doom of those

who don’t adapt. While in Skagway the three have no idea what the Klondike holds.

The team wanted nothing but riches and fame. In their effort for time they purchase the now exhausted
dog team, which Buck leads, to take them to Dawson. Even during the beginnings of their journey they
show their inevitable doom. Mercedes, the most stubborn of the bunch parks load after load on the
sled. Onlookers laugh at the sight, telling the group that the sled will tip. In their irrogance

the warning goes without notice, soon to find the now moving sled strewn across the

street. The next incident proves their stubbornness to adapt to the environment.

After many weeks of toil Charles, Hal, and Mercedes reach White river, where they find

Thorton, a mail courier with frost bite. The team drops dead in the traces. Hal's

philosophy pertains to the use of the whip. Beating after beating occurs but the team

doesn’t get up. Buck, the lead dog gets the brunt of the attack until Thorton steps in.

He fights Hal and wins Buck. So the beaten Hal moves on not heeding Thorton's

warning of thin ice. Their doom arrives in a tumult of ice and water. All of the team

dies in the cold murky lake. These three characters show a second side of adaptation that

is very true.

Thorton and Buck reach a final adaptation in their journey for fortune, which

creates the man and beast which rise above all. John Thorton asked little of man or

nature. During the search for the hidden treasure mine Thorton travels in no hurry. He

ventures Indian fashion, hunting food with his hands, using his cunning to overcome. If

he fails, Thorton keeps on traveling knowing that eventually he will find food. Thorton

had adapted, and now he has the power to fight off the wilderness
After Thorton's death a pack of wolves attacks Buck. He holds his ground crippling dog after dog. By
using primitive instincts, his

killer instincts, Buck does not fall. He destroys the others until they are to tired to

fight. The victory makes him the leader of the pack. He has become the super being

that reigns over all. Buck and Thorton's adaptation proves it without a doubt.

because of the harsh and wild depiction of the Klondike wilderness in Call of the

Wild, London's theory proves true. The use of wild creatures and people,

London creates a visualization of how adaptation makes someone strong and well fit for

their environment. He also teaches that if a great enough adaptation occurs, that the

organism will rise above all obstacles. In conclusion, if the average person adapts to

their position in life and strives to reach their own personal best they too like Buck will

become the leader of the pack.
