Letter 2
Dear, Shaan
Hello Shaan, and for my fiction report I am reading a book called “Call of the Wild” by Jack London . It was originally published in 1903. In my opinion, this book is really good, and I have enjoyed it quite thoroughly, and it is something that I would consider as a masterpiece of literature. This book is so good I decided to recommend it to you. In this letter I will provide you with reasons on why you should read “Call of the Wild”.
My first reason on why you should read this book is because this book has a very gripping and emotional story. This book is worth reading because it's story will leave you hooked. This book kept me hooked until the very end. It has many emotional moments such as Buck being taken

All the characters are good, but the best character in the book is Buck. The reason why Buck is the best character in the book is the character development that happened to Buck. The character development from Buck, the house dog who lived on rich Judge Miller's estate to Buck who was forced to work for the Canadian Government in the Gold Rush to Buck who is being overworked for personal glory, until the end where Buck just becomes a lone wolf. Throughout the book Buck's characteristics change to the point where he is unrecognizable as just a house dog. From being just a house dog until being eventually, a wolf. So the character development is really well done. The other characters are also done well done such as Hal, Charles, and Mercedes who are just focused on personal glory and it feels like they are just in it for the money, as they are inexperienced and overwork the dogs to the point of death or exhaustion. Other dogs such as Spitz are well done, as Spitz is portrayed as being the Alpha Male, and his characteristics are like an alpha male. Overall, all the characters are well done, and are worth talking about. This characters in this book are some of the best that I have read. So another reason why you should read “Call of the Wild” is good
I would recommend this book to people who love realistic stories. Personally for me it is hard to find books that interest me and this one felt like if I was watching someone else's life while I read it. It has so many interesting points. When you think something might happen
The book had a few characters that I liked, but a lot of characters that I disliked. For example Yasmine was a character that I disliked. I didn’t like her because she brought pain to Paige’s life. Yasmine and Paige were best friends for months in Sixth grade. They were constantly doing fun activities together, like having sleepovers or planning each other’s birthday parties, but all that was ruined by a mistake Yasmine made. Paige and Yasmine were at a school dance, when

Into the Wild tells a great story told in a not so great style. Jon Krakauer writes out of chronological order, uses multiple viewpoints, and uses too much detail where extensive detail is not needed. These aspects make some areas of the book hard to follow and do not effectively portray the story of Chris McCandless. No matter the confusion though, the story itself is interesting. Into the Wild is not the average story, and it offers a glimpse into the life of a man looking for a peace brought on by ridding his life of what most people find the most valuable. The confusing negatives of this book do not outweigh the positives of reading a great story.
The novella The Call of the Wild is a story of Buck overcoming challenges while being thrown into the real world and learning new traits like persistence and resilience. Protagonist Buck is a colossal St Bernards cross Scotch shepherd dog, transforms from a humble house dog and then eventually returns to a primordial state as a best of the wild. Along the way he is faced with an endless array of challenges. London achieves this by portraying Buck’s change in character in a manner that explores and incorporates diverse motifs.
like a real wolf, and he even would be strong enough to beat a wolf at
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
As a student in Introduction to Literature I have had the opportunity to engage in reading and writing from the books listed: The Call of the Wild, Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s, and I know why the cage bird sings. These books have taught me that a message could be delivered in many perspectives. I have learned that a book is more than a story being told. It is up to the reader imagination to take then to that magical place. From these books I have choose to challenge myself to critic The Call of the wild by Jack London. It is an outstanding book that could be a positive feature for fifth grader to college students. The best thing about this book is that your view will change as you get older and wiser. For example I read this book in sixth grade and then again as a third year student and my views have change. Presently this book informs me that one’s life may end up different then the life they started. Also you change depends on the world that surrounds them such as people, environment, and life experiences just to name a few. I believe that The Call of the Wild is one of the best books written, because it educate the readers that throughout life you will continue to learn and be thought. In this paper I will explain Social Darwinist and the terms, technique I us to base the true agenda, and agree my thesis represented by quotes from the book. I will tackle number 3 for this take home midterm.

I liked Grogan’s humor and style of the writing and the way of describing the dog’s mood. For instance he used italic fonts to distinguish the dog’s replies or thoughts as if the dog said or thought something. I felt the author believed that a dog could be a central part of the family. This book taught me how to become a good owner of a dog. It is important to recognize that the owners have big responsibility for a dog’s life.
In The Call of the Wild, Buck finds comfort in his relationships with man. When he is initially removed from Judge Miller's house in Santa Clara Valley, he is given his first exposure to the wild where, "every moment life and limb were in peril" (London 31). But soon he finds himself not entirely ready to leave civilization and answer the call of the wild, because he must first experience love. Buck establishes a relationship with John Thornton, and "love, genuine passionate love, was his for the fir...
In doing so, he creates a character that acts like an animal, but thinks like a man. His humanity is what allows him to survive under the rule of man. He understands his role as being inferior to man, but superior to the other dogs. Buck learns that the men and dogs around him “knew no law but the law of club and fang” (London 15). Therefore, Buck adapts and abides by this law, creating a place for himself in the social hierarchy of the Northland. “The ability to keep his mental strength, even when his physical energy was sapped, is one thing that separates Buck from the other dogs” (Kumin 103). Although all dogs are the heroes in The Call of the Wild, Buck connects the most with the reader. As the story is told through his perspective, the reader empathizes with Buck more than the other dogs. The mental strength that Kumin references in the above quote stems from Buck’s human characteristics. Buck is a character that exemplifies the traits of all men, including Jack London himself. His human spirit makes this connection possible, and creates a bond between Buck and the
Buck is my favorite character of the book. He had such a great life before he was
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
