My Call of the Wild - Enlightenment of The Call of the Wild " He sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack." （Chapter VII The Sounding of the Wild） When the last sentence vanished from my eyes, I can still perceive an echo of a song - a wild song, which knocks up my dizzy mind that always cheerfully sink into the so-called civilized world without questioning. Wild, is no longer a symbol of the law of jungle but a headspring where streams out love, passion, bravery, loyalty, friendship, venture, petition and tolerance all these virtues can easily be found in the Call of the Wild. Jack London （1876-1916） is a worldwide renowned novelist. His stories successfully reflect the contradictory views of man’s nature and destiny in and against the wild, and his "fight to survive" notion has gained him and his works timeless popularity, particularly, the Call of the Wild It tells a story of a gigantic dog, named Buck, who is stolen from a rich and fortable home and forced
to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog. Buck, at first, is too savage for the pany of man until he coincidently encounters his beloved master-kindhearted John Thornton. Finally, John’s incidental death breaks Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into his long-desired wild with his pack. In the story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild.
When it es to Buck’s mind that one day he will eventually leave John- his master, all he wants to do is just to help him finish the gold-rush-trip. He " from then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of flight, did not to stay him （John）" （Chapter VII The Sounding of The Wild） Buck wished to remember John’s image forever, he "for two days and nights never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight. He followed him about at his work, watched him while saw him into blankets at night and out of them in the morning…" （Chapter VII） When I read these words I just could not hold my tears bursting. Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man. He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an acmodating man. Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from acplishing it except death.
I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but what I know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it. It is Jack London who plunges me into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city. There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life. Dare we imagine that London intentionally employs Buck to set us a model with perfect characters （count barbarity out）？ The answer is affirmed. We, as animals, are from the wild but shedding off more and more wild signs, which demonstrate us as the "uncivilized"。 However, who can fully guarantee that we have not overlooked some essential wild-endowed virtues?
Especially, nowadays, it seems more crucial for us to stop looking at the post-industrialized world and to ponder for a while. When cheats, betrayals, lies, lusts and crimes stuff a materialized society, whether London uses this novel to help himself escape the reality or warn the earthy people, to us, modern man, is all the same. It appears horrible that in modern society many people are enthusiastically talking about how to build up "special relations" to the authority, deceiving and lying to each other. To them life is a mask-wearing process rather than a hard work. Every time, you browse WebPages, scandals in politics, business, the entertainment circle and even on campus crowd into your eyes. Oh, what is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? Are we wasting talents given by the mighty nature? Be an honest, straightforward, w
armhearted, emotional and responsible man or be a shrewd, cold hearted and astute hypocrite?
While embracing the "civilized" rubbish, we are losing those good virtues, which are the calls of the wild. Once we lose them, we are to lose ourselves, and we will get nowhere. I wish this dreadful thought is totally a fallacy, but, now, it is chilling me hard. One day when I happen to stand on the top of a grand mountain to observe a boundless prairie enveloped by the sapphire firmament and bed by gusts of the rhythmical west wind, a morning sun sprinkles me her warmth and brilliance in a graceful way, however, at that moment, I am afraid that I cannot appreciate these beauties, I am a lost " civilized man" then. Please, please do not let e true while we are still able to answer the call of the wild.
The book was written by Jack, a famous American writer. London, who wrote the book on the subject: dogs. Not the biological dog of Fabres science story, not the fanciful dog of myth or fairy tale, not even the dog of the minor characters in human society, but the dog of the books protagonist: Buck. Buck was a cross between a St. Bernard and a collie. The Saint Bernard is a rescue dog in the snow mountains of Switzerland, and the sheepdog is a dog that will fight with wolves. Both are strong and strong breeds that can withstand blows and cold. He grew up in a rich family in the warm region of California, but one day he was stolen and sold to the cold gold road in the north. From then on, he lived a life of bullying. The harsh reality taught Buck cleverness, or cunning. So he learned to fight. The novel, which tells a series of dog stories, is very funny and entertaining. At last Buck became leader of the sledge team, a glory he had earned by his own intelligence and tenacity. At last he was lucky enough to be with his new master, and felt true love, the love of man for dog, and the love of dogs for man.
Want to express the meaning of the novel is a buck in a cruel environment, awakened the haggard, aroused him to ancestors and original human hazy memories, when people have no alternative, not impossible from the sink down to the beast, it is worth our thinking, we need between people, between people and animals live in peace and friendship between each other, Only then can we feel happiness.
杰克伦敦的这本书写的是一只名叫巴克的狗，被淘金的人从阳光普照的庄园带到了冰天雪地的北极。慢慢地，它从娇生惯养的生活，到“对于平常的痛苦都感觉麻木”，学会了许多知识，并且一点点地恢复失去很久的本能，逐渐地，它成为了一只凶猛的狼，因此，也得以在条件极其恶劣的北极生存下去。
当我第一次翻开杰克^伦敦的巨著《野性的呼唤》时，那首凄凉而极富哲理的诗便深深地打动了我：“风俗的链条锁不住游牧部落跳跃的古老渴望；寒冬萧瑟，沉沉睡去，野性将唤醒凄厉的诗行。”或许正如作者杰克丨伦敦所说的那样，万物心中都有一种古老的本能一一野性，它带来野蛮，带来征服万物的欲望。《野性的呼唤》的主人公巴克在踏上阿拉斯加的土地时惊呆了：在这冷酷无情的世界中，付出友谊就等于付出生命，要想生存只有向前，向前，再向前，绝没有后退的可能。―所有的残酷都在唤醒它古老的野性1所有的事实都在告诉它在这个社会中只有征服者和被征服者。来自本性深处的不屈和斗志被唤醒了，因为它知道这一切都体现着生命的价值。
是啊，文明社会中野性的呼唤又何尝停止过呢？竞争的激烈致使人们不能有半点犹豫，胜负就在一刹那间产生，面对对手只有勇敢迎战，并最终征服……或许这就是人生与生命的意义。
然而，野性带来野蛮的同时，也带来古老的友情一一纯真与忠贞的友情，这是文明与古老的结晶。当巴克的主人死去时，它仰望苍天，发出长长的嗥叫。这嗥叫是伤感的，这嗥叫是纯真的，这嗥叫是忠诚的，这嗥叫是震撼人心的；这嗥叫包含着巴克对主人深刻的爱，这爱是野性的友情体现。
生命是矛盾的，世界是复杂的。它有奸诈，也有忠诚；它有文明，也有野蛮。可是，这就是真实的人生，人生正因此而多彩，因此而灿烂，因此而生生不息……（作者用很有力的语言道出了自己对于这本书的感想，并将它升华到了生命的高度。
At the beginning of this century, many new writers emerged with the introduction of many new ideas. Among them, Jack London was the most popular one.
His most famous novel is the call of the wild 。 Although it is a story about a dog, Buck, it vividly depicts the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune.
Buck, used to belong to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North. Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled 。 In the days of pulling a snow-sled, he learned to conform to the law of nature and obey the master. Finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the tough environment. This is the call of the wild.
When you read the story, you will feel that Buck is a man instead of a dog, struggling with his fortune and conforming to the law of nature.
Though short, it is really a thrilling story. What you never forget is the tough life in the nature, the brave and crafty dog. Maybe the wild is calling you to go ahead.
While writing for only 16 years throughout his life, London produced an amazing body of work among which, White Fang, Martin Eden, the Valley of the Moon are representative.
The Call of the Wild is an outstanding representative of Jack London's novelettes.This novel tells the story of a southern dog named Buck.Buck was Judge Miller's dog.Under the influence of the Alaskan gold rush at that time,Buck was smuggled out by gardeners and embarked on a hard gold rush.During this period,it degenerated into barbarism bit by bit,and defeated one opponent after another,becoming the leader of the team.Later,Buck's owners changed one by one,and his companions were exhausted and toiled harder and harder until they finally met Thornton and did a good deed with Thornton.In the process of gold mining with Thornton,Thornton was killed,and Buck finally returned to the wild and nature.
After reading this novel,what haunts my mind is the long moving.For Buck,for Dave,for every master of Buck,for calling Buck's wildness from time to time.
Buck's misfortune began when he was tied up with ropes by Manuel,the gardener.Bad luck,but good luck.Because of this,it is possible to return to the wild.Later,he realized that the stick was a revelation,an introductory course for him to enter the world of primitive law.The cruel reality of life shows its more ferocious side.When it bravely faces the ferocious face of reality,all the cunning hidden in its nature are awakened.In this way,Buck was suddenly pushed out of the civilized paradise and thrown into the original center.
Buck's wildness was awakened naked in the cruel killings in the snow and ice.Under the rule of "stick and fangs",Buck learned the original cunning characteristics.Buck was destined to be a leader,from the leader of the team dog to the leader of the wolves,and he did well.From tame dogs to wolves,it is humans who awaken them.
Jack London deeply exposed the ruthlessness,cruelty and coldness of nature with his wonderful pen.Buck was awakened by the wild.What woke us?
As a type of novelette, I wasnt used to this cos Ive just finished HarryPotter so in occasions novelette wrote very briefly. The background of the author was very poor, and precisely the time to seek gold. Part of the novel means to expose the hardness of dogs at that time. Men were crazy about gold, the main character, Buck, was stolen by a Gardener of a lawyer who owns Buck.
The man with the red sweater taught him the law of clubs, this was a good beginning. The trading road led him at last to two couriers, who knew how to treat dogs. Then the dog team was traded to a three-people family who were seeking good in Alaska. But they didnt know how to treat dogs and at last dogs and men were drowned in the water, except Buck. He was picked up by a man. And eventually Buck was back to the wild—where his ancestors had been.
In my opinion a good novel could make readers cry, yell, etc. I clenched my fist when the Family treated the dog team badly, and had a wonderful feeling when the man picked up Buck and treated him like his own son. It had feeling, this novel……
Today I read "The Call of the Wild" this book, can let a person into a dogs world. The dogs name was Buck. It did not play the role of a good friend in human society, but played the role of a wild, cruel soul, and I learned a lot from it.
Buck, a dog who grew up in the judges house, is a Saint Bernard and Collie mix, he inherited the weight of his parents, frame size and breed of good dogs, he led a carefree life, until the discovery of a precious yellow soft metal.
After being trafficked, the aristocratic Buck was beaten for the first time in his life. After being beaten several times, he learned a truth: I cant win a fight with a man with a club. The club was a key, a key to Bucks primal nature. Let it understand "the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest" this survival.
Buck began to go out into the cold and snow to pull sledges for the people. Pike, his companion, taught him how to steal to satisfy his hunger, for to eat enough, you must steal. I learned to dig holes for warmth from Berry. But it was a silk-haired dog that Buck learned the most, reminding the hazy Buck of his ancestors primitive slaughter.
Silk wool dogs are companions of the leader, but the search for it again and again to challenge buck, buck again and again patience at first, but eventually buck instinct was provocative activated in the body, by the ancestors of chewing, torn and bloody crazy tiger struck, active up and down with silk wool dog, instead of in the lead position.
But once the wild was awakened, the call of the great forest tempted Buck. It was a bleak, horrible, blood-curdling cry, but Buck was glad to howl along. The nature of the primitive animal in him is more and more strong, in a hunt to reflect, endurance let Buck taste the desire for blood and the pleasure from killing.。.
The competition in human society is the embodiment of the ancient wildness, which brings the desire and savagery of all things. Like Buck, when the fact tells him that there are only conquerors and conquerors, the unyielding spirit that comes from deep in his nature is awakened to know that this is the value of life.
But wildness is not only cruel, it also brings friendship, ancient civilization and crystallization. When Bucks last master died, he let out a long howl. This is loyalty, sad, but also shocking.
Wild, it makes the world alive, but also pushes the world into hell. It is cunning, loyal, savage, and brings friendship. This is the real life, colorful, brilliant, growing. And the call of the wild comes from the depths of the hidden heart. Also let me understand "the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest" this truth.
The Call of the Wild is London’s most-read book, and generally considered his best, the most masterpiece of his so-called “early period”。 The story was set in 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at generous prices.
Buck was a domestic dog in Judge Miller’s home and living a comfortable life until he was sold secretly by the poor gardener and became a sled dog. Buck was a Bernard dog weighed one hundred and forty pounds, tall, strong, and hea一vy muscled. He couldn’t accommodate to the harsh condition at first. And he wanted to fight, to escape, to go back to his cozy home, but in vain.
The man in red taught him the law of stick and club—one must first adjust himself to his surroundings and learn the rules, and only after that he can do what he wants to do. The club of the man in red called back Buck’s nature as a dog.
When he firstly served for Fran?ois and Perrault, two couriers, he showed his superior ability to adapt to the environment and his smartness to learn everything he wanted to learn. Curly’s death astonished him and taught him to be cautious. And before he had recovered from the shock caused by the tragic passing of Curly, he was harnessed as a sled dog and step by step wanted to be the leader. But the leading dog, Spitz, was already an excellent one, who also considered Buck as enemy and potential competitor. At last, when Spitz once punished him, hurling backward Buck, he knew the time had come. He killed Spitz and took his place.
When they pulled into Dawson, Buck was sold as useless thing to three gold diggers, who weren’t veteran in sledding and even didn’t know how to get to their destination. Food was eaten up half way. So Charles, one of the three, decided to kill Buck when he couldn’t get up. However, when he aimed at Buck, John Thornton sprang upon him, knocked him down and told him that if Charles stroke Buck, Thornton would kill him.
Thus, Thornton took Buck away. He was the only true friend of Buck. But Buck was a thing of the wild, especially when the calling of wolf from the hills. Once when he came back from hills, he found that Thornton was killed by Indians. What would you do if you were Buck when your beloved friend was killed? Buck became a nut and killed those headsmen and stayed with Thornton for two days and nights, never lea一ving Thornton out of his sight. And then a nearby wolf howl captures his ears, and he follows the sound to an approaching wolf pack, battling several of these creatures to prove his worth.

Call of the Wild is one of my favorite books.Every time I read it,I will have a new feeling,but the most profound feeling is cheering for free life.
The article mainly wrote about such a thing.Buck was a huge dog.He was stolen from the owner's house in the south and sold.After several setbacks,he became a slave dog pulling a sled.In the cruel process of domestication,he realized the laws of justice and the hard way to pull the sledge,the owner changed several times,and the last owner and Buck forged an inextricably deep friendship.Finally,after his beloved owner suffered misfortune,he went to the wilderness and became the leader of the wolf clan.
As I read and read,my tears welled up in my eyes unconsciously.The friendship between Buck and his master moved me,but what shocked me most was Buck's never-ending pursuit of freedom and wildness in the text.It was his courage and confidence to seek freedom and publicize the most primitive vitality that made him the leader of wolves.It was also this force that pulled it out of the dark shadow and led it to the bright road.
As a dog,Buck could not choose his own life in the rules of human civilization,but as a person,he would have the same helplessness.But we should believe that all life has the right and freedom to choose,to choose obedience,to choose rebellion,to choose to live proudly,to choose a place of peace,and everyone has the right and freedom to choose,regardless of whether you choose right or wrong,as long as you dare to go on this road,face life and reality,do not fear,do not retreat,you will always create a miracle of life.
As a dignified individual, survival seems to be the subject of our discussion forever. But in this hard way of survival, the desire for "life"， often let us forget the species. Buck was one of those dogs who worked hard to survive, developed a knack for hardship and eventually became the leader of the pack. But whether it is Barker, or the authors other characters, their hearts are full of longing and yearning for "life"。 But in this extreme environment and the human strength of the collision, we face the cruelty of competition, witness the true meaning of life.
The hero of the novel is a dog named Buck. Set during the Alaskan Gold Rush, the story follows Buck as he climbs from a domesticated Southern dog to a barbarian state in order to survive in the treacherous conditions of the North. Buck is a huge cross dog, he was secretly sold from the family of the south, after several difficulties began to set foot on the road of gold, became a sled working dog, in the cruel domestication process, he realized the justice and the law of nature, the harsh living environment taught him the meaning of cunning and deceit, He took his own cunning and deceit to an unsurpassed level, and after a brutal, even mortal, struggle, he finally established himself as the leader dog. We can get a sense of the mental outlook of different people through the change of owners during the arduous sledding journey. It was in these movements, too, that Buck formed a deep and deep bond with the last master, who had rescued him from the most strenuous drudgery, and whom he had rescued many times. Finally, after the tragic death of his beloved master, he went out into the wilderness, answering the ancient wild call he had heard and yearned for so many times along the way.
Buck was only a dog, but his arduous path reflected the true meaning of personal struggle in the age in which the writer lived. It was also a reflection of the naturalism prevalent in American society during the period of the treacherous development of capitalism. On this road, in such a dangerous natural and social environment, only the elite and the strong have the possibility of survival. If they lack the ability to adapt to the changing conditions, it means a quick and tragic death. In front of the laws of nature, man is insignificant and helpless. Moreover, in the struggle for existence, any moral concept becomes "a kind of vanity and an obstacle"。 On the one hand, this shows the sinister living environment at that time, on the other hand, it also reveals the immoral side of the capitalist society. In such a society, under the action of natural law, the primitive desire, moral decay, the loss of civilization, all show incisively and vividly. Therefore, if survival is the highest goal of human activity, then the process of animal survival is the process of violent meeting and killing each other. Only through the struggle of the law of the jungle, can we ensure the continued survival of the "elite" or "strong" with competitive advantages. Therefore, it fully expresses the authors naturalism thought.
The more civilized man is, the more stable his life is, so that in a civilized society things are laid out clearly and there are few accidents. But when something goes wrong, and its serious enough, its the end of the world for those who cant adapt. And Bucks experience also tells us: life is often intense and painful, but in fact it is more full of vitality and vitality and we want to be the strong of life.
Thats what survival is all about. There is no justice. Once youre down, youre down. So be careful not to fall. Life on the road, there is no plain sailing, there is no constant, he often changes patterns to teach us to be strong, and we have to do is to accept his arrangement, in perseverance through the cold winter, and finally usher in the spring. We often say that successful people just think a little more and do a little more than ordinary people, without carefully searching why they think a little more and do a little more. In fact, this much think, do more behavior is a person with positive enterprising consciousness of performance. Only under the drive of this consciousness can a person do things actively in a more planned and directional way, and finally achieve a qualitative leap.
"The call of the wild" is the American writer jack London was published in 1903 in the novel, reading some other book, sometimes play mobile phone watch a little something to eat in the brain have a rest, read this and saw this paragraph cant wait to look down on, then let a person can, it is the slow and orderly process, make it strong and far-reaching influence.
The story is about a dog named Buck, who was sold from the South to the North during the Gold Rush. In order to survive in the harsh environment of the north, Buck became a sledge-pulling slave dog after several trials and turns. In the process of cruel taming, he realized the law of justice and nature. Bad living environment let it know cunning and deceit, then it will be cunning and deceit to play to the extent that people do not want to. After a brutal, desperate struggle, it finally established itself as the leading dog. Buck and Thornton, the last master, had formed an inseparable bond during the arduous sledding journey. This master had rescued him from the most arduous servitude, and he had repeatedly spared his life to rescue his master. Finally, after the tragic death of his beloved master, he heads out into the wilderness, answering the wild call he has heard and yearned for many times along the way, and becomes the leader of the pack.
Thorntons death left him with infinite regret. It was something like hunger, but hunger was fed by food, and grief pained him again and again. Thornton was the man Buck loved, and unlike some of the people or dogs he had met before, it was love. The author allows us to examine the world from the unique perspective of animals, to reflect human life and behavior through dogs, and to reveal the beauty and ugliness of human nature through peoples kindness and evil toward dogs. Throughout Bucks life, he has never been respected and loved equally by human beings.
In the stories, dogs also have different personalities: some are docile and easy-going, some are friendly, some are acrimonious and extroverted, some are dignified, some are sinister and vicious, some are timid and afraid, and some are lazy and malingering. These dogs, too, are a microcosm of human society. Theres competition between humans, theres competition between dogs; Human beings have responsibilities, and so do they. They are also the representation of the human soul. Theyre wild, human, and theyre wild. In the bottom of everyones heart, in fact, just like Buck, there lurks a deepest, most primitive, and undetectable wildness. Modern mans life, oppressed by all kinds of rules for so long, can no longer see the wild, can only see a domesticated animal. And the wild people, is unruly, is full of vitality. They are not troubled by the mechanization of work and life, full of the spirit of upward intentions. They love and hate, they are cruel and kind, they hate and they love, and they are not afraid to show their emotions. Their souls, daring to answer the call of ancient times; Their souls belong to nature. They are the human Bucks.
This book teaches us the spirit, the perseverance to overcome difficulties and the desire for freedom, as well as the law of survival in this cruel world, the law of the jungle, we have to be stronger!
Wild, may be a cruel thing, but it is also a very simple thing. It can give a polite dog the pleasure of killing; It can also make a bloody dog loyal to a person, but in the final analysis, it may eventually bring a kind of soul belonging to it.
When I went to the school library to borrow books,I accidentally saw The Call of the Wilderness.The Call of the Wild! Jack London wrote it! classic! I got it without hesitation.
He has been lying with me for two months and has never had time to watch it.Two days ago,I finally opened my book.Looking at the sharp words,the profound description of wilderness,and his profound exposure to capitalist society,I can't stop.
Booker,a dog born in the south,was sold to some place in the north by an unreliable acquaintance.Because he was born in a civilized city in the south,he had never seen snow and did not know that the way of life here was the law of the jungle.But Curry soon realized that she was killed by another sled dog.Booker was forced to fight for survival in the environment of the jungle.His original dignity disappeared,and his original wildness slowly returned.In pain and dying,Booker was saved by John Thornton.From then on,Booker felt the warmth of love and thanked him for his kindness.However,after John Thornton was killed,Booker finally broke off the connection with human society.Inspired by the voice of the wilderness,he joined the wolves and returned to nature.
This book is a novel with the theme of animals,full of twists and turns,vivid and interesting,with a certain philosophical ending,giving people a certain reverie.Booker is a very strong dog.He refused to let go,but he tried every way to free himself from other dogs and become the "lead dog" among sled dogs.
What touched me most was that he was so loyal to his master that he jumped down without ,it is smart and brave.Although sometimes very competitive,but never reckless.It takes care of everything,grasps the best opportunity,and attacks decisively without hesitation.This may be the spirit we should learn!
The story sounds like just a dog tale at first--a dog, Buck, is kidnapped from his comfortable life in California and sold as a sled dog for the Alaskan gold rush. While he endures the wilderness and the other dogs, Buck learns that survival comes only with tooth and fang. This lesson brings him very close to his forbears, the wolves.
If you look deeper, Call of the Wild is as much a story of humans as it is a dog tale. Buck encounters various incompetent masters who try to break his spirit. Are we like this? But Buck also learns to trust a master who is gentle and gives love. We can be like this, too.
Call of the Wild is not a story for the squeamish or very young. By involving us in the characters lives, Jack London tells the truth. It is a life-and-death war between the harsh land and the soul every day. There is blood, death, cruelty--but its the truth.
In the 19th century ，the west of America was under cultivation 。Hundreds of adventurers were moving to the west 。At the same time ，it was said that gold had been found in large quantity in Northern California ，so thousands of people went to the west for gold 。There were so many people ，but in the freezing cold North ，transportation was the biggest problem 。At such situation ，dogs and sleds was the best choice ，so in the North ，dogs and sleds was the main transport tools then 。Of course ，millions of dogs were needed urgently ，from then on ，there were plenty of dogs like Buck began their unfortunate difficult journey life.

The law of club given by the man of red sweater
Buck just entered the Northen society ，he knew nothing about the world ，he behaved on his nature completely ，the man of red sweater gave him a club and let him know obeydience ，Buck learned this lesson for his whole life 。
Buck was very angry after his terrible experience ，he resisted stubbornly and treated the man in red sweater as enemy 。（in fact ，the man was ） and was going to fight with him 。But the short man of red sweater was more stronger 。At the man ‘s club ，Buck was almost beaten to death 。It was the first time that Buck had been hit by a man ，he was greatly frightened 。However ，Buck was beaten ，not broken ，he had learned an important lesson and would never forget it 。In his later life ，when such situation appeared ，Buck reacted immediately and got rid of quickly 。Here we can say that Buck was clever but and wise ，he learned quickly from what he had experience and others 。That is to say ，Buck has some learning spirit ，he could adapt everything rapidly and get less punishment 。
The Curly accident
Buck was shocked at a second time that was his mate Curly’ death ，he witnessed that 。Curly was a good –natured dog ，she just wanted to make friends with others ，but she paid her life for that 。The dog attacked Curly and other dogs immediately took part in the activity when Curly was down on the ground 。Spitz also did that 。
It was a second first time that Buck had seen dogs fight like wolves 。At a short moment ，a life no longer existed 。Buck learned another lesson ，that was life in the North was primitive ，cruel,and no fair play ，once you were down on the ground ，it was the end of you 。Here ，only the strong could survive ，one must be very careful ，the others around you might be your enemy and your opponent 。I think in Buck ‘ life ，this point always plays an important role 。For example ，he always kept calm minds about Spitz 。
On the other hand ，from the Curly accident ，Buck got a clear thought about Spitz ，in Buck ‘s later life ，Spitz was important 。First ，Spitz was the leader of the whole team ，Buck had to follow him and avoid unnecessary conflict when he himself was not strong ，at the beginning ，it was impossible for Buck to defeat Spitz 。So ，here Buck did a very good job 。Second ，Spitz was a good rival for the strong ，the same for Buck 。Spitz reserved Buck 。As Chinese saying goes ，a strong opponent make you strong too 。So Buck ‘s achievement was closely related to Spitz 。
Things gradually changed 。Buck was not a good –natured one any more ，he came to realized that he was strong enough and can do the same thing with Spitz ，he always did trouble for Spitz ，the other dogs also started challenged the authority of Spitz 。But for Buck ，it was far more not enough ，for he wanted was the leadership of the team 。
The life or death fight
The final fight between Buck and Spitz came ，it was not a coincidence but a necessity 。Both of them knew clearly in their inner heart ，so none of them tried to get away or avoid 。They already had prepared it for a long time 。At that moment ，who got the rabbit was no longer important at all 。No one cared 。The other dogs also knew it clearly ，at the last moment ，they all were silence and waited for something they had expected eagerly 。Buck and Spitz completely understood what was going on 。 Whoever went down on the ground, their lives would come to an end immediately 。
At first, obviously Buck had no advantage at all ，he already wounded badly 。But we know ，Buck was always different ，he promptly changed and Spitz did not notice that 。Finally ，the battle came to an end with Spitz went down 。The following other dogs would do ，Buck himself just stood far away saw what happened ，as he had witnessed what happened to Curly 。It was Spitz who deserved such an end for only he took part in the death of Curly.
Then Buck was a victor 。First ，he revenged for Curly ，because he deeply hated Spitz since he saw Spitz ‘s behavior in the Curly accident 。Second ，he defeated Spitz and he would become the leader that he desired for a long time 。Finally ，the most important one ，he was a successful winner of the primitive life and he killed a living mate by himself ，and Buck felt that kind of feeling seemed to be good ，the hot blood made Buck so excited ，the strange feeling came from Buck ‘s nature that Buck got it from his ancestors ，but Buck did not understand what it meant on earth 。In fact ，Buck walked a big step towards the wild ，in his inner heart ， he was very curious about the wild and he was also interested in that 。
After the battle with Spitz ，Buck tried his efforts to get the leadership of the whole team ，he showed his ability to his masters and earned their praise 。For a while ，Buck’s journey life was good ，he and his team mates made a world record for rapid speed 。However ，the good things finally would came to an end 。Buck met three terrible masters who had no travel experience at all ，they also knew nothing about the cruel Northern world 。So Thorton came to Buck 。
For the love of a man
During the long hard journey ，only 5 of dogs were left 。All of them were dead tired ，Buck was no exception of it ，he suffered a lot and almost became a dead dog 。When they came to Jhon Thorton’s camp ，like his other teammates ，Buck fell down on the ground and did not try to get his feet once more 。In fact ，in Buck’s inner heart he already knew something terrible would be happen ，because the route for Buck was not strange ，he came there for several times 。According to his former experience and sensitive sense ，Buck decided not get to his feet though he would be beaten to death 。
The master wanted Buck to get up ，he refused 。Of course ，Buck knew the result of his behavior 。The club came to Buck again and again ，Buck already lost conscious 。At that time ，Jhon Thorton came to Buck’s rescue ，it was a great opportunity for Buck and his fortune came 。Here Buck got rid of his hard days ，his good quality in the South came to him again ，he got the true love of human being 。
Jhon Thorton did not like the person Buck had met before ，he was wise and had rich experience on life as well as on hard journey in the North 。Of course ，Thorton also knew dogs and knew them very well 。For Buck ，Jhon Thorton absolutely was a good master 。In Buck’s inner heart ，Thorton was the most important person to him ，he gave his true love to Thorton and he would try his biggest effort to protect Thorton from harm even if it cost his life 。
Thorton to Buck’s love ，Buck had never got it from other masters ，even though Judge Miller 。Between Buck and Thorton ，there was a highly and specially agreement ，they could communicate with each other by a simple eye contact ， Buck could get message from looking Thorton’s eyes 。As Thorton himself once said ，sometimes he afraid of this love 。So their relationship defeated anything and became the most important thing 。There were several examples of this 。First ，bad tempered”Black” Burton hit Thornton for something ，Buck saw that and jumped to Burton throat at once 。Second ，in the fall of a year ，three partners were travelling on a narrow boat through fast and rocky waters ，Thorton fell into the stream water ，the situation at that time was extremely dangerous ，Buck had jumped into action in an instant 。When Thorn got saved at last ，Buck was nearly dead because of freezing cold 。On seeing Buck was badly wounded in order to save himself ，Thorton moved to tears 。Besides ，Buck helped Thorton again in another different manner 。
All those things showed that Buck loved Thorton very much 。If anything want to hurt Thorton ，no way 。But things went to a wrong a way ，when Buck came back from outside ，he found that Thorton and other living things in their camp were killed by the Yeehat Indians 。Then ，Buck got mad ，a wave of great anger came over him ，he growled out loud with a terrible terrible sound but he himself did not know that he growled 。”For the first time in his life he allowed his feeling to win over his cleverness and reason ，and it was because of his great love for Thorton that he lost his head 。”Buck truly was a evil ，he killed the Yeehat Indians and revenged for his master 。Then,Buck returned to the empty ，ruined camp 。He found Thorton in the muddy pool ，there was a great emptiness in him that he never had before 。
Thorton was dead already 。So ，there was nothing for Buck to leave and miss ，he was lonely again 。At the same time ，Buck felt the call of the wild that striked him again and again 。So joining in his old brothers was a good choice for Buck 。
The fight with the leading moose
Buck lived alone and without help ，using his strength and power surviving in a hard and unfriendly environment where only the strong survived 。Because of this ，Buck was proud of himself 。So ，his longing for blood became stronger than ever ，he was a killer ，a thing that hunted other animals ，living on the things that lived 。But Buck was not satisfied ，the animal he killed before were small and weak ，he wanted to challenged himself ，he needed a large strong one ，so the leading moose became his prey 。During the battle with the leading moose ，Buck took full use of his power and cleverness 。For ，Buck ，the battle was only an experiment ，but he wanted to know how strong he earth was and what kind of enemy he could not defeat ，the battle gave him an opportunity to fight with a real wild creature 。The battle also laid the foundation for Buck’s later life 。
From the fight with the leading moose ，we could see that Buck was completely a successful winner of the primitive life 。When fighting ，Buck did not attack straightly ，instead ，he used all kinds of methods to make the leading moose exhausted and feared 。So ，what the leading moose wanted to do just was escaping ，for Buck ，he could defeat the leading moose 。Meanwhile ，during the fight ，he himself would not hurt badly 。
As Buck had expected ，he pulled the great moose down ，we can imagine that Buck was very satisfied with himself 。In fact ，it was true 。When Buck killed the moose ，he did not return at once 。On the contrary ，he stayed by the kill for several days ，eating ，sleeping ，enjoyed his feast 。Honestly ，it is the same with our humanbeing s 。When we did something successful ，we also would lost our head ，wouldn’t it ？
From those things Buck had ever through ，we can say Buck had all the good qualities of dogs or even more 。For example ，Buck could adapt quickly ，we all know life from the South to the North was very different ，but Buck got it and was a successful survivor 。As a man ，three were still other results ，the right example was Hal ，Charles and Mercedes ，they not only had no experience in travelling at all but they never learned from others and their lesson 。So finally ，they all had taken away by the God 。
Beside ，from a loyal dog to a wolf ，humanbeing plays an important role ，from that ，we can say human may be the most selfish creature 。So in the story ，Buck to Thorton’s love was very valuable 。
" He sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack." (Chapter VII The Sounding of the Wild) When the last sentence vanished from my eyes, I can still perceive an echo of a song - a wild song, which knocks up my dizzy mind that always cheerfully sink into the so-called civilized world without questioning. Wild, is no longer a symbol of the law of jungle but a headspring where streams out love, passion, bravery, loyalty, friendship, venture, petition and tolerance all these virtues can easily be found in the Call of the Wild.
Jack London (1876-1916) is a worldwide renowned novelist.His stories successfully reflect the contradictory views of man’s nature and destiny in and against the wild, and his "fight to survive" notion has gained him and his works timeless popularity, particularly, the Call of the Wild.
It tells a story of a gigantic dog, named Buck, who is stolen from a rich and fortable home and forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog. Buck, at first, is too savage for the pany of man until he coincidently encounters his beloved master-kindhearted John Thornton. Finally, John’s incidental death breaks Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into his long-desired wild with his pack. In the story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild. When it es to Buck’s mind that one day he will eventually leave John- his master, all he wants to do is just to help him finish the gold-rush-trip. He "from then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of flight, did not to stay him (John)…" (Chapter VII The Sounding of The Wild) Buck wished to remember John’s image forever, he "for two days and nights never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight. He followed him about at his work, watched him while saw him into blankets at night and out of them in the morning…" (Chapter VII) When I read these words I just could not hold my tears bursting. Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man. He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an acmodating man. Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from acplishing it except death. I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but whatI know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.
It is Jack London who plunges me into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city. There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life. Dare we imagine that London intentionally employs Buck to set us a model with perfect characters (count barbarity out)？ The answer is affirmed. We, as animals, are from the wild but shedding off more and more wild signs, which demonstrate us as the "uncivilized"。However, who can fully guarantee that we have not overlooked some essential wild-endowed virtues? Especially, nowadays, it seems more crucial for us to stop looking at the post-industrialized world and to ponder for a while. When cheats, betrayals, lies, lusts and crimes stuff a materialized society, whether London uses this novel to help himself escape the reality or warn the earthy people, to us, modern man, is all the same. It appears horrible that in modern society many people are enthusiastically talking about how to build up "special relations" to the authority, deceiving and lying to each other. To them life is a mask-wearing process rather than a hard work. Every time, you browse WebPages, scandals in politics, business, the entertainment circle and even on campus crowd into your eyes. Oh, what is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? Are we wasting talents given by the mighty nature? Be an honest, straightforward, warmhearted, emotional and responsible man or be a shrewd, cold hearted and astute hypocrite? While embracing the "civilized" rubbish, we are losing those good virtues, which are the calls of the wild. Once we lose them, we are to lose ourselves,and we will get nowhere. I wish this dreadful thought is totally a fallacy, but, now, it is chilling me hard. One day when I happen to stand on the top of a grand mountain to observe a boundless prairie enveloped by the sapphire firmament and bed by gusts of the rhythmical west wind, a morning sun sprinkles me her warmth and brilliance in a graceful way, however, at that moment, I am afraid that I cannot appreciate these beauties, I am a lost " civilized man" then
Please, please do not let e true while we are still able to answer the call of the wild.

翻译：
“他唱的是一首年轻世界的歌，那是一群人的歌。”（第七章狂野的声音）当最后一句话从我的眼睛里消失时，我仍然能感觉到一首歌的回声——一首狂野的歌，它击打了我那晕眩的心，那总是毫无疑问地愉快地沉入所谓的文明世界。野性，不再是丛林法则的象征，而是爱、激情、勇敢、忠诚、友谊、冒险、竞争和宽容的源泉。所有这些美德都很容易在野性的呼唤中找到。
杰克·伦敦（1876-1916）是世界著名的小说家。他的小说成功地反映了人在荒野中与荒野抗争的自然观和命运观，他的“为生存而战”的思想使他和他的作品受到了永恒的欢迎，尤其是《荒野的呼唤》
它讲述了一个巨大的狗，名叫巴克的故事，谁是从一个富裕和舒适的家被盗，并被迫学习作为阿拉斯加雪橇狗生存。起初，巴克太野蛮了，不适合和人在一起，直到他碰巧遇到了他深爱的`主人、心地善良的约翰·桑顿。最后，约翰的意外死亡打破了巴克与这个男人的最后一条领带，把他和他的背包带进了他渴望已久的荒野。在这个故事中，巴克和约翰只是采取自己的回应呼吁的野生动物。当巴克想到终有一天他会离开他的主人约翰时，他所想做的只是帮助他完成淘金之旅。他“从此，夜以继日，永不停歇，在绝望中，他冲进了长长的一段飞行，没有留下他（约翰）……”（第七章狂野的声音）巴克希望永远记住约翰的形象，他“两天两夜从未离开营地，从未让桑顿离开他的视线。他在工作时跟着他，看着他，晚上把他裹在毯子里，早上把他从毯子里拿出来……（第七章）当我读到这些话时，我忍不住热泪盈眶。一个真正的男人能以这种方式献身于忠诚和友谊吗？另一方面，约翰桑顿不仅是一个爱狗的人，而且是一个勇敢和冒险的人。他如此直率和简单，使 一旦他把一个目标牢牢地扎根在心中，似乎除了死亡之外，没有什么能阻止他实现它。我不知道坚持是否是一个人成功最重要的因素，但我知道的是，一旦你占据了成功，你就离成功不远了。
是杰克·伦敦把我从熙熙攘攘和绝望的城市带进了充满活力的荒野。在那里，我不能否认巴克树皮的吸引力，它启发我去追寻人类另一个失去的一半的自然，去挖掘生命的真正意义。我们敢想象伦敦有意雇用巴克为我们树立一个完美人物的典范吗（不算野蛮）？答案是肯定的。我们作为动物，虽然来自野外，但却有越来越多的野性迹象表明我们是“不文明的”。然而，谁能完全保证我们没有忽视一些基本的美德呢？尤其是现在，我们更应该停止对后工业化世界的关注，好好思考一下。当欺骗、背叛、谎言、欲望和犯罪充斥着一个物质化的社会时，伦敦是用这部小说来帮助自己逃离现实，还是警告世俗的人们，对我们这些现代人来说，都是一样的。在现代社会，许多人热衷于谈论如何与当局建立“特殊关系”，互相欺骗和撒谎，这似乎很可怕。
对他们来说，生活是一个戴着面具的过程，而不是一项艰苦的工作。每次浏览网页，政界、商界、娱乐圈甚至校园里的丑闻都会挤进你的眼帘。哦，人的本质是什么？文明对我们来说是什么？我们需要回顾一下我们从哪里来吗？对我们来说，说出我们的想法，做良心要求我们做的事，是好是坏？我们是在浪费大自然赋予我们的天赋吗？做一个诚实、直率、热心、感性、有责任感的人，还是一个精明、冷酷、机敏的伪君子？在拥抱“文明”垃圾的同时，我们正在失去那些美好的美德，这是野性的呼唤。一旦我们失去他们，我们将失去自己，我们将一事无成。我希望这种可怕的想法完全是一种谬论，但是，现在，它让我感到很冷。
有一天，我碰巧站在一座雄伟的山顶上，眺望着一片被蓝宝石苍穹包裹着、被一阵阵有节奏的西风吹拂着的无边草原，一轮晨曦优雅地向我洒下了她的温暖和光辉，然而那一刻，我恐怕无法领略到这些美，我是一个迷失的“文明人”。
These days I read a novella called the call of the wild written by Jack London,an American writer.The author vividly describes the tortuous experience of a dog named Buck by means of personification.
The story mainly narrates the process of Buck,the "master",returning to the primitive life of wolves from the civilized human society.Buck,who had lived in a greenhouse since childhood,was abducted and sold to the original wilderness as a sled dog.The cruel reality touched Buck's instinct and consciousness of returning to nature due to the long-term influence of human civilization.The bad living environment tempered Buck,and he continued to grow through experience.Finally,he won the first place among the sled dogs by defeating Spitz,the dog king.When the cruel Hal beat Buck black and blue and dying,John Thornton's rescue made Buck feel warm and decided to devote himself to his benefactor,but the death of the benefactor completely broke Buck's nostalgia for human society,thus impelling Buck to firm determination,resolutely go to the wilderness and return to nature.
I like the dog named Buck described by the author.He never bows his head in a difficult situation and never gives up in a desperate situation.This spirit of perseverance and courage is worth learning.When we encounter difficulties in our study,we should not give up,but work hard to overcome them.When we encounter setbacks in life,we should persevere and forge ahead to create a better future for ourselves.
在暑假里，我读了《野性的呼唤》一书。这本书是美国作家杰克？伦敦的著作。
当时的美国还处于资本主义发展的初始阶段，人们为了得到黄金，都纷纷赶往北极寻找。因而需要很多壮实的狗去拉雪橇。
这本书描述了主人公巴克，也是被卖到北极的狗之一。当刚刚到北极的时候，巴克就亲眼目睹了自我同伴遭受当地狗的攻击而惨死。而它也第一次感受到大棒的残酷，从此便信奉了‘大棒’和‘利齿’的法则。经过几次跟换主人，巴克落入了三个根本不适合在北极探险的男女。就在巴克即将和他们陷入困境的时候，一个名叫桑顿的男子救了它。从而使巴克对他逐渐地产生了好感，不惜生命的危险，三次将桑顿从死亡的边缘拉回。因为桑顿被印第安人杀害，为了替主人报酬，巴克疯狂地撕咬印第安人的喉咙。最终回归了大自然。
巴克在小说中是一个强者的身份出现。它那英勇的表现，那强壮的身姿，时不时地浮此刻我的眼前。要想在这个社会立足，我们就得学会像巴克那样有坚韧的生活意志，顽强的生存力和机敏的生存。仅有这样我们才能够在这个社会上存活下去。
在这本书的末尾，作者这样写道：“它放开它的喉咙，唱出一支原始的年轻世界的歌，一支狼的歌。”这语句是多么的雄壮，多么的豪迈啊！
这就是一只狗――巴克的传奇故事！
The Call of the Wild is a story about dogs.It describes that the dog named Buck overcame the bad living environment and finally turned into a fierce beast like a wolf.This is the story about instinct,which also triggered my thinking about the call of wildness and human nature.The author's profound language expresses the call for the purest friendship and the wild precious friendship.At the same time,the novel also shows the cruel reality of "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection".
Animals have wild natures,which are well hidden under the domestication of human beings.The dog named Buck in this book originally lived happily in the happy manor and was taken to the North Pole by its owner.You can imagine how big the gap between the living environment is,which foreshadows the wild nature of the dog to stimulate its instinct.In such a bad environment,only by awakening their instincts can they survive,otherwise they have to pay their lives.In the relentless extreme weather,the only way out is to move forward bravely.The cruel reality inspired Buck's instinct,that is,his unyielding survival instinct and will.In order to survive,it learned a lot of skills and also learned to steal.After stealing,it can act as if nothing happened.At last,I was deeply impressed by the moment when he left his new owner.He screamed up in the sky,completely like a wolf,reflecting the purest feelings between dogs and people,which cannot be concealed.
The author observes the world from Buck's perspective and endows the novel with unique characteristics.Buck's world actually reflects the human world.Through the cruelty of the world's reality,a person can stimulate his instinct and change himself strongly.Especially when life and death are at stake,people will show an unexpected desire for survival.Like Buck,we have changed from a pet dog to a "wolf".In fact,it is the times that push us forward."Natural selection" can not help but apply to animals,as well as to us humans.
Some books can deeply touch you,some books can give you unlimited reverie,and some books can make you fondle them.But I have such a book to let me know that only through the dungeon like training can we create the power of heaven.
This winter vacation,I read The Call of the Wild,which was written by American writer Jack London.The book tells about a dog named ,he lived a carefree life in a peaceful and comfortable place,but was interrupted by a man.Buck changed three masters in total.In the wild,in many battles.Buck understood the difference between the strong and the weak and the rule of survival,and slowly his recessive recovery.Among the three masters,Thornton was the best to him,but every night Buck was attracted by the howling of wolves.After a period of twists and turns,Thornton was killed by a group of aborigines.Buck was both sad and angry,so he punished the group of aborigines.Finally,he returned to the jungle to find the wolves,and joined them as the Wolf King,Like his ancestors,he led a wild life.
I was deeply attracted by the story,and after reading the closed book for several days,I was tired of thinking.Although Buck,the dog,did not have a happy life,he was able to win the dignity of his own survival by his own the way to find happiness,Buck kept honing himself and finally won the power of Wolf King.Think about yourself.If you encounter difficulties in life,you will shrink back and not overcome them.But I gradually began to challenge myself through the dog Buck.
After the wind and rain,the sky will be the same as that of Aoxiang and by learning from setbacks,can the flowers of happiness bloom invincibly.
The Call of the Wild is London’s most-read book, and generally considered his best, the most masterpiece of his so-called “early period”。 The story was set in 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at generous prices.
Buck was a domestic dog in Judge Miller’s home and living a comfortable life until he was sold secretly by the poor gardener and became a sled dog. Buck was a Bernard dog weighed one hundred and forty pounds, tall, strong, and hea一vy muscled. He couldn’t accommodate to the harsh condition at first. And he wanted to fight, to escape, to go back to his cozy home, but in vain.
The man in red taught him the law of stick and club-one must first adjust himself to his surroundings and learn the rules, and only after that he can do what he wants to do. The club of the man in red called back Buck’s nature as a dog.
When he firstly served for Fran?ois and Perrault, two couriers, he showed his superior ability to adapt to the environment and his smartness to learn everything he wanted to learn. Curly’s death astonished him and taught him to be cautious. And before he had recovered from the shock caused by the tragic passing of Curly, he was harnessed as a sled dog and step by step wanted to be the leader. But the leading dog, Spitz, was already an excellent one, who also considered Buck as enemy and potential competitor. At last, when Spitz once punished him, hurling backward Buck, he knew the time had come. He killed Spitz and took his place.
When they pulled into Dawson, Buck was sold as useless thing to three gold diggers, who weren’t veteran in sledding and even didn’t know how to get to their destination. Food was eaten up half way. So Charles, one of the three, decided to kill Buck when he couldn’t get up. However, when he aimed at Buck, John Thornton sprang upon him, knocked him down and told him that if Charles stroke Buck, Thornton would kill him.
Thus, Thornton took Buck away. He was the only true friend of Buck. But Buck was a thing of the wild, especially when the calling of wolf from the hills. Once when he came back from hills, he found that Thornton was killed by Indians. What would you do if you were Buck when your beloved friend was killed? Buck became a nut and killed those headsmen and stayed with Thornton for two days and nights, never lea一ving Thornton out of his sight. And then a nearby wolf howl captures his ears, and he follows the sound to an approaching wolf pack, battling several of these creatures to prove his worth.
In the 19th century,the west of America was under cultivation.Hundreds of adventurers were moving to the west.At the same time,it was said that gold had been found in large quantity in Northern California,so thousands of people went to the west for gold.There were so many people,but in the freezing cold North,transportation was the biggest problem.At such situation,dogs and sleds was the best choice,so in the North,dogs and sleds was the main transport tools then.Of course,millions of dogs were needed urgently,from then on,there were plenty of dogs like Buck began their unfortunate difficult journey life.
The author Jack London was one of the members who went to the North for gold,he went through the hardships of the journey himself,witnessed the cruel and miserable life of dogs.According to his this experience,the story of buck came into being.
Main idea of the story
There was a dog named Buck,who lived a comfortable and pleasant life at a Judge Miller's house in the warm South.Here,Buck was a leader,he in charge of Judge's house,took care of Judge's grandchildren and ruled others dogs.We can say Buck had a happy time here.However,Buck's misfortune was coming.But Buck did not that at all.
One day,a gardener who worked for Judge took Buck out of the house when there were no people in home and sold Buck to a dog smuggler in secret.From then on,Buck set foot on his miserable life.He was transferred from one to anther and under a bad condition all day,he suffered from hunger,cold,various harm and pain.Sometimes,Buck was beaten black and blue by human being.At the same time,Buck must fight with other dog in order to stay alive,finally,Buck became very strong and made himself the leader of the whole dog team.life was always going on like this for o during a journey,Buck was nearly dead,then he met his master Jhon Thorton.Thorton was a perfect person who came to Buck's rescue and Buck deeply loved him forever.But one day,Thorton was killed by Indians,Buck lost his lover and he became nothing then.Finally,Buck responded the call of the wild and became a wolf,lived an early wild life as his ancestors.
From loyal dog to cruel wolf,there were several important things in Buck' life.
The law of club given by the man of red sweater
Buck just entered the Northen society,he knew nothing about the world,he behaved on his nature completely,the man of red sweater gave him a club and let him know obeydience,Buck learned this lesson for his whole life.
Buck was very angry after his terrible experience,he resisted stubbornly and treated the man in red sweater as enemy.And was going to fight with him.But the short man of red sweater was more stronger.At the man's club,Buck was almost beaten to death.It was the first time that Buck had been hit by a man,he was greatly frightened.However,Buck was beaten,not broken,he had learned an important lesson and would never forget it.In his later life,when such situation appeared,Buck reacted immediately and got rid of quickly.Here we can say that Buck was clever but and wise,he learned quickly from what he had experience and others.That is to say,Buck has some learning spirit,he could adapt everything rapidly and get less punishment.
The Curly accident
Buck was shocked at a second time that was his mate Curly' death,he witnessed that.Curly was a good –natured dog,she just wanted to make friends with others,but she paid her life for that.The dog attacked Curly and other dogs immediately took part in the activity when Curly was down on the ground.Spitz also did that.
It was a second first time that Buck had seen dogs fight like wolves.At a short moment,a life no longer existed.Buck learned another lesson,that was life in the North was primitive,cruel,and no fair play,once you were down on the ground,it was the end of you.Here,only the strong could survive,one must be very careful,the others around you might be your enemy and your opponent.I think in Buck' life,this point always plays an important role.For example,he always kept calm minds about Spitz.
On the other hand,from the Curly accident,Buck got a clear thought about Spitz,in Buck's later life,Spitz was important.First,Spitz was the leader of the whole team,Buck had to follow him and avoid unnecessary conflict when he himself was not strong,at the beginning,it was impossible for Buck to defeat Spitz.So,here Buck did a very good job.Second,Spitz was a good rival for the strong,the same for Buck.Spitz reserved Buck.As Chinese saying goes,a strong opponent make you strong too.So Buck's achievement was closely related to Spitz.
Things gradually changed.Buck was not a good –natured one any more,he came to realized that he was strong enough and can do the same thing with Spitz,he always did trouble for Spitz,the other dogs also started challenged the authority of Spitz.But for Buck,it was far more not enough,for he wanted was the leadership of the team.
The life or death fight
The final fight between Buck and Spitz came,it was not a coincidence but a necessity.Both of them knew clearly in their inner heart,so none of them tried to get away or avoid.They already had prepared it for a long time.At that moment,who got the rabbit was no longer important at one cared.The other dogs also knew it clearly,at the last moment,they all were silence and waited for something they had expected eagerly.Buck and Spitz completely understood what was going on.Whoever went down on the ground,their lives would come to an end immediately.
At first,obviously Buck had no advantage at all,he already wounded badly.But we know,Buck was always different,he promptly changed and Spitz did not notice that.Finally,the battle came to an end with Spitz went down.The following other dogs would do,Buck himself just stood far away saw what happened,as he had witnessed what happened to Curly.It was Spitz who deserved such an end for only he took part in the death of Curly.
Then Buck was a victor.First,he revenged for Curly,because he deeply hated Spitz since he saw Spitz's behavior in the Curly accident.Second,he defeated Spitz and he would become the leader that he desired for a long time.Finally,the most important one,he was a successful winner of the primitive life and he killed a living mate by himself,and Buck felt that kind of feeling seemed to be good,the hot blood made Buck so excited,the strange feeling came from Buck's nature that Buck got it from his ancestors,but Buck did not understand what it meant on earth.In fact,Buck walked a big step towards the wild,in his inner heart,he was very curious about the wild and he was also interested in that.
After the battle with Spitz,Buck tried his efforts to get the leadership of the whole team,he showed his ability to his masters and earned their praise.For a while,Buck's journey life was good,he and his team mates made a world record for rapid speed.However,the good things finally would came to an end.Buck met three terrible masters who had no travel experience at all,they also knew nothing about the cruel Northern world.So Thorton came to Buck.
For the love of a man
During the long hard journey,only 5 of dogs were left.All of them were dead tired,Buck was no exception of it,he suffered a lot and almost became a dead dog.When they came to Jhon Thorton's camp,like his other teammates,Buck fell down on the ground and did not try to get his feet once more.In fact,in Buck's inner heart he already knew something terrible would be happen,because the route for Buck was not strange,he came there for several times.According to his former experience and sensitive sense,Buck decided not get to his feet though he would be beaten to death.
The master wanted Buck to get up,he refused.Of course,Buck knew the result of his behavior.The club came to Buck again and again,Buck already lost conscious.At that time,Jhon Thorton came to Buck's rescue,it was a great opportunity for Buck and his fortune came.Here Buck got rid of his hard days,his good quality in the South came to him again,he got the true love of human being.
Jhon Thorton did not like the person Buck had met before,he was wise and had rich experience on life as well as on hard journey in the North.Of course,Thorton also knew dogs and knew them very well.For Buck,Jhon Thorton absolutely was a good master.In Buck's inner heart,Thorton was the most important person to him,he gave his true love to Thorton and he would try his biggest effort to protect Thorton from harm even if it cost his life.
Thorton to Buck's love,Buck had never got it from other masters,even though Judge Miller.Between Buck and Thorton,there was a highly and specially agreement,they could communicate with each other by a simple eye contact,Buck could get message from looking Thorton's eyes.As Thorton himself once said,sometimes he afraid of this love.So their relationship defeated anything and became the most important thing.There were several examples of this.First,bad tempered”Black” Burton hit Thornton for something,Buck saw that and jumped to Burton throat at once.Second,in the fall of a year,three partners were travelling on a narrow boat through fast and rocky waters,Thorton fell into the stream water,the situation at that time was extremely dangerous,Buck had jumped into action in an instant.When Thorn got saved at last,Buck was nearly dead because of freezing seeing Buck was badly wounded in order to save himself,Thorton moved to tears.Besides,Buck helped Thorton again in another different manner.
All those things showed that Buck loved Thorton very much.If anything want to hurt Thorton,no way.But things went to a wrong a way,when Buck came back from outside,he found that Thorton and other living things in their camp were killed by the Yeehat Indians.Then,Buck got mad,a wave of great anger came over him,he growled out loud with a terrible terrible sound but he himself did not know that he growled.”For the first time in his life he allowed his feeling to win over his cleverness and reason,and it was because of his great love for Thorton that he lost his head.”Buck truly was a evil,he killed the Yeehat Indians and revenged for his master.Then,Buck returned to the empty,ruined camp.He found Thorton in the muddy pool,there was a great emptiness in him that he never had before.
Thorton was dead already.So,there was nothing for Buck to leave and miss,he was lonely again.At the same time,Buck felt the call of the wild that striked him again and again.So joining in his old brothers was a good choice for Buck.
The fight with the leading moose
Buck lived alone and without help,using his strength and power surviving in a hard and unfriendly environment where only the strong survived.Because of this,Buck was proud of himself.So,his longing for blood became stronger than ever,he was a killer,a thing that hunted other animals,living on the things that lived.But Buck was not satisfied,the animal he killed before were small and weak,he wanted to challenged himself,he needed a large strong one,so the leading moose became his prey.During the battle with the leading moose,Buck took full use of his power and cleverness.For,Buck,the battle was only an experiment,but he wanted to know how strong he earth was and what kind of enemy he could not defeat,the battle gave him an opportunity to fight with a real wild creature.The battle also laid the foundation for Buck's later life.
From the fight with the leading moose,we could see that Buck was completely a successful winner of the primitive life.When fighting,Buck did not attack straightly,instead,he used all kinds of methods to make the leading moose exhausted and feared.So,what the leading moose wanted to do just was escaping,for Buck,he could defeat the leading ,during the fight,he himself would not hurt badly.
As Buck had expected,he pulled the great moose down,we can imagine that Buck was very satisfied with himself.In fact,it was true.When Buck killed the moose,he did not return at the contrary,he stayed by the kill for several days,eating,sleeping,enjoyed his feast.Honestly,it is the same with our humanbeing s.When we did something successful,we also would lost our head,wouldn't it ?
From those things Buck had ever through,we can say Buck had all the good qualities of dogs or even more.For example,Buck could adapt quickly,we all know life from the South to the North was very different,but Buck got it and was a successful survivor.As a man,three were still other results,the right example was Hal,Charles and Mercedes,they not only had no experience in travelling at all but they never learned from others and their lesson.So finally,they all had taken away by the God.
Beside,from a loyal dog to a wolf,humanbeing plays an important role,from that,we can say human may be the most selfish creature.So in the story,Buck to Thorton's love was very valuable.
Buck is a cold resistant dog.Since childhood,he has lived in the house of judge miqin in the south of jiujinshan,and has been taken care of and spoiled by his master.In order to repay the gambling debt,Manuel,who gambled like her life,stole buck and sold it to the people who bought and sold dogs one night.Later,she was tossed and sold to the wild and cold north to do hard work.From then on,she lived a hard life.The change of Bucks life made him learn how to protect himself and survive in the world of the law of the jungle.However,Thornton saved buck from his second master.Thornton had a strong relationship with buck.After Thornton was killed by the natives,Buck avenged him and buried him.Finally buck returned to nature.
Bucks life was originally very stable.Did he think he would struggle to survive in the dogs?But it is very brave and strong.It has endured one by one in difficult days and will never shrink back.
The economic recession in todays society has caused many people to lose their jobs or be reduced by their employers and live a tight life.The previously stable life is no longer.Some people will also think of suicide to solve the problems of life,but there will be prosperity and adversity in life.Is it worth giving up their life in adversity?Buck still tries to survive in adversity,doesnt he?
Bucks spirit is really worthy of our admiration.He will bravely break through whatever setbacks he encounters.But nowadays,some young people will only escape when they encounter few blows,setbacks,or difficulties in making friends,and some will choose to die to escape.These people are so stupid.
Young people will inevitably encounter setbacks and difficulties on the road of growth.If they are unable to recover,how can they do?Young people should have the courage to take these as a kind of training.The so-called "jade is not cut into stone; No man can become a man without grinding." The road of life is sometimes as calm as the sea,but sometimes it is full of waves.Without a road of life,it will not be rugged.
We should know that there must be joy and sorrow in life.Buck has also experienced countless setbacks,but it has strided one by one and finally returned to the embrace of nature.Therefore,we should also believe in our ability!
When Jack London found that Americans at that time liked to go to the northern polar regions to look for gold mines,which required a large number of sturdy dogs to pull sleds,the image of Buck in the novel appeared.Buck,originally a beloved dog of Judge Miller,had been living in the warm valley of southern California of the United States,but was sold to Alaska,It is a remote and cold place.
After entering the north,he knew how bad the environment was and how hard life was.There was no law in the south,only the law of big stick and sharp teeth,.There are no fair rules of the game.We must persevere at all times and never give up and fall down.Falling down is a weak person,and abiding by the Southern Law is also a weak person.In this harsh environment,Buck's wildness is slowly awakened,
He met five masters in the polar region,and the last one was John.Thornton's men saved Buck and cared about Buck very much.He didn't have to travel long distances or pull sledges around Thornton,which seemed a real happiness to Buck.Unfortunately,Thornton was killed by Indians in a gold rush,which broke the last link between Buck and people.Since then,Buck has no trust in people.He decided to join the wolves and return to nature
The image of Zaobak in the novel is the sign of the strong.He sees the world of dogs through the human world.Writing about dogs in the novel means writing about people,which endows dogs with human character and psychological activities.Therefore,dogs are called "he" rather than "it".
I saw many excellent qualities in Buck,but how can we accept the ancient song he sang after he finally walked into the wolves and returned to nature?That's just a writer's moral and a way of expressing literature.
The story sounds like just a dog tale at first--a dog，Buck，is kidnapped from his fortable life in California and sold as a sled dog for the Alaskan gold rush. While he endures the wilderness and the other dogs，Buck learns that survival es only with tooth and fang. This lesson brings him very close to his forbears，the wolves.
If you look deeper，Call of the Wild is as much a story of humans as it is a dog tale. Buck encounters various inpetent masters who try to break his spirit. Are we like this? But Buck also learns to trust a master who is gentle and gives love. We can be like this，too.
Call of the Wild is not a story for the squeamish or very young. By involving us in the characters' lives，Jack London tells the truth. It is a life-and-death war between the harsh land and the soul every day. There is blood，death，cruelty--but it's the truth.
When I first opened Jack, holiday reading impression (three) "the call of the wild"。 Londons magnum opus, "The Call of the Wild," touched me deeply with that bleak and philosophical poem: "The chains of custom do not bind the ancient longing of the nomadic to leap; The cold wind blows and slumbers, and the wild will awaken the mournful verse."
Perhaps like the author Jack. There is in all things, as London said, an ancient instinct -- savagery, which brings savagery, and the desire to conquer. Buck, the hero of "Call of the Wild"， was shocked when he set foot on the land of Alaska: in this unforgiving world, giving friendship is equal to giving life, and to survive only forward, forward, forward, there is no retreat possible. All the cruelties are awakening its ancient savagery, all the facts are telling it that there are only the conqueror and the conquered in this society. The unyielding and fighting spirit that comes from deep in nature is awakened, because it knows that all this embodies the value of life. Yes, the call of the wild in civilized society has never stopped? The fierce competition caused people can not have the slightest hesitation, victory and defeat in that moment of time, only brave to meet the opponent, and finally conquer.。. Perhaps this is life and the meaning of life.
However, with savagery comes the ancient friendship -- the friendship of innocence and loyalty, which is the crystallization of civilization and antiquity. When Bucks master died, he looked up at the sky and gave a long cry. The snarl was sad, the snarl was loyal, the snarl was thrilling, and the snarl contained the depth of Bucks love for his master, a love that was wild friendship.
Life is contradictory, the world is complicated, it has treachery, there is loyalty; It has civilisation and savagery. However, this is the real life, life is therefore colorful, and therefore brilliant, and therefore endless.。.
After reading the "call of the wild"， cover volume and rest, unconsciously is already feel tears.
“When the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, he may be seen running at the head of the back through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his followers, his great throat a bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.”
There was a script about the sa一vage life in the frozen north of ice and snow. There were the unexplored north areas of America and the 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush which dragged men from the entire world into the hard wild to look for gold. There was a road where a gigantic dog like human fought his way to struggle in the wasteland. There was a civilized beast grew from mildness to wildness. And there came the call of the wild.
The background and plot
In the 19th century, it was said that gold had been found in the Klondike area in Northern California of vast wilderness, so thousands of people rushed into this uncultivated ground to seek for gold and fortune, which needed a large quantity of dogs to support for the transportation. There came up Buck story which we can’t define it as luckiness or unluckiness.
Buck, a dog weighed one hundred and forty pounds, tall, strong, and hea一vy muscled, lived a cozy and comfortable life in a rich family of a Judge named Miller, but was soled by evil gardener to two dog dealers and was took to Alaska as a sled dog.
Led by his second masters, two governmental couriers, he studied how to pull a sled and how to live in this cruel world where needed more cunning beha一vior and less fake moral and courtesy. For example, he learned to sleep in the snow hole to get warmness from the clod nights, and he learned to thief bacon and food from his masters and neighboring camps, as well as that, he learned how to fight effectively and efficiently with his antagonists and survive of the combat about the dominant leader with Spitz. In addition to those, he also went through the hardships in the toil on the ice layer, and he learned how to ob一tain the victory and stand on the wilderness which was beneficial to himself who can only fit the environment, but can’t defy the harness.
After the arduous trace and trail, they finally reached the destination, and then, after a short break, dogs including Buck led by a Scotch half-breed man stepped again on the ice land with the Salt Water Mail. It was a hard trip and a monotonous life operating like machine that dogs must undertake the hea一ve pulling and poor condition where they were tired and short of weight. Buck’ partner, Da一ve who had something wrong inside suffered most of all, but pride as he was, pulling the sled was his holy missionary job which can fulfill his life and must be done until his death. However, the tough work was still continuous.
Thirty days passes, by which time Buck and his mates found how really tired and weak they are until they arrived at the last town. They were in a wretched state, worn out and worn out, which was not the tiredness that came from a brief and excessive effort and can be recovered from some hours’ rest, but was the dead tiredness that came through the slow and prolonged strength drainage of months of toil and had to need a long vocation to evacuate. Nevertheless, only three days after they were bought by a family including a foolish woman, a callow and ignorant youngster, and a middle aged man with weak and watery eyes. Never mind of dog’s frazzle, the third masters tried their best to lash out at them with whip, but Buck was not under very good command and not proud and interested of this career. Until they reached at the camp of Thornton, with the natural instinct and extreme weariness, Buck tolerated the whip from his so called masters and refused to go ahead which was his luckiness to meet his last master, Thornton.
Without doub一t, Thornton was a good master, full of wisdom, intelligence and love who can manage Buck’s life comfortably and in order. By the careful attendance form his new master, Buck was on his feet quickly and solidly. Filled with the loying love toward his master, Buck companied him, sa一ved his life for several times and helped him win the gambling party. Then, they faced into the East on an unknown trail to achieve where men and dogs as good as themselves has failed, as the call from the wild became stronger and stronger which attracted Buck to lea一ve the civilization to look for. The knife that cut out the bound of Buck between his masters was the master’s deaths which left a void in the dog’s heart and a strengthened calling from the wild. Buck, a civilized dog, finally went back to wolves after thousands of generation by singing a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.
Survive of the fittest
The Call of the Wild abounded in Darwinism which advocated the evolutionism and natural selection theory.
In the process of ha一ving to lea一ve the comfortable Miller’s house and adapt to the harsh primitive snowfield, Buck went through the changes from the mildness to wildness where he studied the law of club and fang and admitted the rule of failure without progress. “He had learned well the law of club and fang, and he never forewent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to death.” “He must master or be mastered,” “Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of time, he obeyed.”
After analysis, we can find that related to the Darwinism, learning ability was an important factor of the victory of living of Buck. As a south dog living in the rich family and innocent environment, Buck was not wary of Manuel’s uncommon beha一vior, but situation has changed entirely after a period of barbaric life: he showed hostility to his all possible mates and took precaution of everything. As well as that, throwing away the moral standard and facing the death of starvation, Buck had an ability of thief. “This first theft marked Buck as fit to survive in the hostile Northland environment. It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would ha一ve meat swift and terrible death.” In addition to those, his muscles became hard as iron, and he grew dumb to all ordinary pain, and he can successful take full use of all the elements no matter internal or external. That’s the progression of Buck which can equip him with thick helmets from being hurt deeply and made him be the fittest.
Not only did he learnt by experience, but instincts long dead became alive again. Maybe knowledge acquired by learning was Buck’s left hand, instincts his right. Good pedigree set up his first sense of a tall, strong and muscular potential king, while the instinct helped him to learn fast and sa一ve his life. “It was no task for him to learn to fight with cut and slash and the quick wolf snap.” “They came to him without effort or discovery, as though they had been his always.”
Buck changed as his living environment changed. With the change of environment, Buck, compared to the previous southern family dog that was mild and gentle, acquired many abilities and skills. He tried his best to live by becoming cunning, cold-blood, and cruel which make him step forward on the road of corpse and blood. Survive of the fittest which is demonstrated by adaptation to the environment and wielding the law to protect himself and attack on others made him roared on the top of the food chain and return to wolves.
All what Buck has done was not due to his reason and thought, but due to his fit. He was fit to everything surrounding him unconsciously and put him to the new way of living quickly.
“The theory, ‘Survival of the fittest’， is the law of biological evolution which implies that plants or animals adapt to the environment to survive or to die-it is the biological survival rule of brutal biosphere.” That is to say, the key of this law is that those who can fit the environment can survive, on the contrary, those failed to fit would be obsolete under the rule of elimination.
Peeping at Buck and his struggle, we can ha一ve a vision of us human that was also fighting in the battlefield with our mates and against our enemy. Filled with bustling stuff, we tried our best to stand on the top of right and authority only because that position would give us more materials and the sense of pride which we depended on to live. Flowers in the greenhouse didn’t know about the hardship of living, so they showed goodwill and send aroma to others; while life in the ice field where wind was blowing like knife and thick snow can bury people only showed a will of survive and cut up the useless goodness to wear on the coldness.
We must do it because we had to do it. The pack of animal was like a society of people. Death and genocide would happen on us if we were not willing to fit the environment thoroughly. To dance with the shackle of survive of the fittest was the policy we should carry out forever, the reason why our human stood on the top of biologic chain, and the rule of living of every individual.
My opinion on virtue and vice
Some people had said virtue was the biggest treasure that human should obey. There is no doub一t that kindness, loyalty, honor, love, companionship, sympathy, mercy, and other virtue should be followed. However, I argue that there is transformation between different virtue and even the virtue and vice.
Showing the feature of three animals: dog, wolf and human, Buck was the bridge that connected the past and present. As the production of human civilization, dog was evolved from wolf and they would still howl on the wilderness if human didn’t raise and train them.
Buck was a mirror from which we can see ourselves. Through this dog, writer told us that only in a place where sun darted its forth beams and everything was in order human will wear the coat of basic goodness, otherwise, kindness would be eliminated if it met with the club and fang. In the cruel process of primitive accumulation of capitalism, mercy and sympathy was not needed for those quality can lead to death of innocent people. In the period of survive of the fittest, life was not concerned with civilization, while wilderness was the real marrow of life and echoing for the wilderness was the beginning of revival. Buck realized that “Mercy did not exist in the primordial life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstanding made for death.” This phenomenon can be seen in dogs as well as human. Wilderness were calling for human and eliminating the kindness in human’s heart stealthily.
In A Treatise of Human Nature, British philosopher Da一vid Hume has said moral came from human’s emotion and conscience but not rationality. The essence of moral existed in the perceptual knowledge, but not rational knowledge. Therefore, the reason why moral distinctions had the division of virtue and vice was that the judgment of moral came from human’s attitude toward their internal actions and external objects. The judgment of moral came from our interest appeal; that is to say, the judgment of moral came from what was good to us, but not what is good.
Let us think the question that which direction of Buck’s change to a beast was, progression or retrogression? The answer was that we can’t answer because he survived due to that he threw away those so called virtue and carry out those so called villainy. All what Buck did was under the pressure of living, and he responded to the call of the wild only because he wanted to live. Maybe in the comfortable and civilized Judge’s house, he would stick to the standard of moral and protect the respect of Judge’s riding whip by dying under his whip. But in this cold field, sticking to those so called moral was a fool. Possibly in this kind of world, brutality, cold-bloodedness, cunning and so on was the moral.
The division of virtue and vice was the refection of the division of civilization and wilderness to some degree. Maybe we can’t define what moral was and what vice was now in some scene, but we can try to last for enough time to seek for the answer.
Run after the free life
The call from the wild stood for human’s nature to run after a simple, independent and free life.
Buck was bored of the complex life where he must deal with such a big net of relationship. He just wanted to run and leap through the forest, howled under the grey moonlight, ate what he liked and killed what he liked without many rules to obey. No one desired to live a complicated life for it’s difficult and tiring to reckon other people, while life in the wilderness was just that eat or eaten, kill or killed and there was no middle ground. Easy and simple life was set up on the uncivilized world where creatures didn’t ha一ve so much relation and elements to consider. Only being independent from all that can we find what we wanted.
When unpracticed Charles and his relatives sunk in a ice hole, writer said that “A yawning hole was all that was to be seen.” That hole was a capitalistic vast mouth that can eat people, but which would be rotten if we escaped from it. “Here a yellow stream flows from rotted moose-hide sacks and sinks into the ground, with long grasses growing through it and vegetable mould overrunning it and hiding its yellow from the sun.” The gold that Thornton got has become a yellow stream because they were eroded by natural power and lost their value. Imagine in a world where was entirely natural and uncivilized, gold, a kind of iron and currency, was entirely futile, isn’t it?
Being free of human world and even free of materials, Buck got a totally new life where he can run at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight to release his vitality and got comfort from nature. We needed materials actually, but material was void actually. How can we get free? To get free of our hearts.
Conclusion
There are two sentences I’d like to mention. First, human beings, never degenerate into beasts. Second, beasts, never degenerate into human beings. Correctness of those two sentences should be discussed.
Human’s progression began in the point when human beings evolved from wilderness period to civilization, but the retrogression also began at the point when people shared the feast of civilization. For us who are far away from the wilderness and raised and trained by civilization, this book gives us a new vision.
Sometimes a picture floating in my mind: in the icy forest, a silhouette of Buck as a wolf caned his neck to howl toward the pale moonlight to echo the howling of pack. That’s the song of animal, and the chant of human, and the snarl of life.
Today,I read the call of the wild,which can let people into the world of a dog.The dogs name is buck.It does not act as a good friend in human society,but as a wild and cruel soul role,which has benefited me a lot.
Buck,a dog who lived in the judges house since childhood,is a hybrid of St.Bernard and Scottish shepherd.He inherited his parents weight,skeleton size and breed.He lived a carefree life until people found a yellow precious soft metal.
After being kidnapped and trafficked,buck,who has the flavor of nobility,was severely beaten for the first time in his life.After being beaten several times,he understood a truth: I cant win if I fight with a man with a stick.A stick is a key,a key that can awaken Bucks primitive nature.Let it understand the survival law of "the law of the jungle,the survival of the fittest".
Buck began to go into the ice and snow and pull sleds for people.His companion Parker taught him how to steal food to satisfy his hunger,because to eat,you must steal.Learned to dig a hole to keep warm from berry.But what buck learned most was a silk haired dog,which made him recall the primitive killing of his ancestors.
The silk haired dog used to be the leader of his companions,but he challenged buck again and again to find fault.At first,Buck was tolerant again and again,but finally,Bucks instinct was activated by provocation again and on the bite,tear and bloody and crazy tiger wolf beating of his ancestors,he became active,knocked down the silk haired dog and took the place of the leader dog.
But once the wild was activated and awakened,the call in the forest seduced buck.It was a bleak,scary,creepy call,but buck howled happily together.The nature of primitive animals became stronger and stronger in him,which was reflected in a hunt.His endurance made buck taste his bloodthirsty desire and the pleasure of killing
Competition in human society is the embodiment of ancient wildness,which brings the desire and barbarism of all things.Like buck,the fact tells it that when there are only conquerors and conquered in the world,the unyielding fighting spirit from the depths of nature is awakened and let it know that this is the value of life.
But wildness is not only cruel,it also brings friendship,ancient civilization and crystallization.When Bucks last owner died,he let out a long howl.This is loyalty,sad and shocking.
Wild,it makes the world full of vitality and pushes the world into hell.It is cunning,loyal and savage,and brings friendship.This is the real life,colorful,brilliant and endless.The call of the wild comes from the depths of the secret heart.Also let me understand the truth of "the law of the jungle,the survival of the fittest".
读了《野性的呼唤》后，我接连几天梦见了那神秘的大自然。
巴克是一只高大的南方狗，被人卖到了北极。从此，他过着艰苦的生活。几年后，他离开了主人，来到大森林，成为狼中之王。
看“霸主之战”一节，仿佛巴克和旧霸主斯匹兹就活生生的站在眼前一样。作者对人物的心理和动作描写极为仔细，才令人有活灵活现的感觉。而我的词汇贫乏，又不会组织，再加上糟糕的构思，写出的文章自然是令人厌恶喽！
书中多次表现对大自然的默念之情。那神秘莫测的大自然，究竟是什么使它变得如此迷人？自由的空气还是友好的朋友？两者都是！我们生活在人性的社会里，处处带着奴隶的锁链，欲罢不能地扮演着各种各样的角色，直至老死。大家成天板着面孔，一副神圣不可侵犯之样。真希望我们能改正这些不良习气。
这本书讲的都是淘金，把地球千百年来积存的“私房钱”挖光。看到这里，我的头脑里出现了一幅幅砍伐树木、深挖矿产的画面。看来，也许最后一棵树被砍伐，最后一条河被污染的'时候，人类才会醒悟。
那充满自由的梦，不时在我脑海里浮现。梦中的我，在辽阔的草原上尽情地奔跑……
When I went to the school library to borrow books,I accidentally saw The Call of the Wilderness.The Call of the Wild! It was written by Jack London! A masterpiece! I took it without hesitation.
It has been lying here for two months and has never had time to see it.Two days ago,I finally opened the book.Looking at the sharp words,the profound description of the wilderness,and his profound exposure to the capitalist society,I can't help it.
Booker,a dog born in the south,was sold to some place in the north by an unreliable acquaintance.As he was born in a civilized city in the south,he not only did not see snow,but also did not know that the way of life here was: the law of the jungle.But it soon became clear from Curley that she had been bitten to death by another sled dog.Booker was forced to fight for survival in the environment of the law of the jungle.His original dignity was gone,and the original wildness slowly returned.After suffering and dying,Booker was saved by John Thornton.From then on,Booker felt the warmth of love and knew how to repay.However,after the murder of John Thornton,Booker finally cut off the link with human society.Under the call of the wilderness,he joined the wolves and returned to nature.
This book is a novel with animals as the theme.It is full of twists and turns,vivid and interesting scenes,and has a certain philosophical ending that gives people a certain imagination.Booker is a very strong dog.He refuses to take things as they are.Instead,he tries his best to keep himself free from other dogs and become the "leader" of sled dogs.
What touched me most was that he was very loyal to his master who treated him well.Even when he was loyal to his master,he jumped down the cliff without ,it is smart and brave.Although it is also competitive sometimes,it never acts recklessly.It is cautious in everything,seize the best opportunity to attack decisively and never hesitates.This may be the spirit we need to learn!
