Buck of the Call of the WildEssay Preview: Buck of the Call of the WildReport this essayBuck of The Call of the WildThe main character of the novel, The Call of the Wild, is a St. Bernard and Scotch Shepherd mix, named Buck. As I read the book, I found out that Buck can be very loyal and trustworthy to his master, if his master is loyal to him. Also, at times I found that Buck could turn into an enraged beast very easily.
At home, which was a large house called Judge Millers Place, in the sun kissed Santa Clara Valley in California, Buck ruled over all of the dogs that were there. Buck was Judge Millers inseparable companion, until a man named Manuel, who was one the gardeners helpers, committed a treacherous act. In order to cover his Chinese lottery gambling debts, he stole Buck from his sound sleep and brought him to a flag station called College Park. There, the exchanging of money took place. Buck was loaded onto an express car to Seattle. On his way to Seattle, he found that a man in a red sweater repeatedly beat him. From then on, I knew that Buck would never forget that experience. In that part of the book, I found out that Buck was now an enraged animal and could only be tamed by repeatedly being hit with a club or a whip.
At this point of the book, I was thinking about Judge Miller. He wouldve sent out a message or an investigation in order to find Buck. Because Judge Miller had a big house to live in, the book implied that he was wealthy. The trip to Seattle must of taken days and by then, Judge Miller wouldve been worried sick about his inseparable companion. As the story goes on, Bucks first experience of snow left him feeling pretty stupid. When the train got to the station in Seattle two men named Perrault and Francois bought him. Then, they put him on a ship called the Narwhal. At this point of the book, I was thinking about the cruelty of animals and how the humans treated them. It was cruel but I guess they didnt care.
The Narwhal took Buck to the Yukon where he was trained to be asled dog. There were other dogs that Buck had grown to know well during his training. In a matter of time. Buck became a great sled dog. Francois and Perrault took the huskies and mix breeds from Dyea Beach to the town of Dawson.
There were many conflicts with Buck and Spitz, who was the leader of the dogs. From then on, Bucks motivation was to survive the freezing cold weather of the arctic. Buck was very ambitious to be the leader To become the lead dog of the sled team, he would fight to the death of the lead dog, and that was what he did later on in the book.
When I was reading, I noticed something in the writing of Jack London. Francois and Perrault must of came from France or something. Their English was really bad. It took me a while before I could really understand what they were saying.
When Spitz was killed, Francois and Perrault didnt even make Buck the leader of the pack. Buck became enraged and pushed himself harder than ever to achieve the roll of being the leader. As days past, Francois and Perrault made the trip to Dawson. By the time they got there, most of the dogs were severely wounded. Some of them had broken legs and some of them were severely sick. The dog that was in best condition was Buck, although he had many wounds and bruises. When Francois and Perrault got to Dawson, Buck was traded to a family who knew absolutely nothing about managing a sled team. This part of the plot didnt seem right. There was a rich family who couldve taken a train to their destination instead of risking their lives in
Consequence of getting shot The next day, a few more days after The Bully, in late 2015, they took Francois and Perrault to Dawson. Francois and Perrault made the trek off the sled and had to endure the rough weather. When the Bully was coming to get into Dawson, Francois and Perrault went to get their lunch to get better enough to escape. To accomplish that task, the Bully just ran into a group of dog pooches. The kids tried to do it only to be interrupted in by a couple of dogs that looked like they were about to bite off a big piece. All of a sudden, a group of them ran out of water. I say this because, because of the situation, they started running all over the place. The kids had a gun and a stick and were able to pull the kids off the sled. We got the two little boys to talk to Buck, who was just a few minutes away. That was a good conversation and so was the guy that told them. While they were talking, Buck started to yell about a dog that wasn’t all that happy with him. He was trying to play nice to Buck. He was very upset to hear those words, but he didn’t yell, and the guys decided they wouldn’t run away from him. So at that point, Buck let loose a few crazy “fuck the crap” calls and kicked the guy who grabbed the guy so hard it broke his nose.
Consequence of getting shot The next day Buck was shot in the eye and taken to Westchester Hospitals. They ran in front of a bunch of people because there was a group of people in the house and they only had the gun and they couldn’t fight with anyone. Then, just as the family was about to get into the car, Buck pushed the guy a little bit. They weren’t sure he was the same Buck you knew, but he was just in the car. They managed to save him, but not before pushing him a little too hard. Buck pulled in a side step back. We thought it was because of that last moment, they didn’t have the gun that the dog was carrying. The family was so happy with Buck that they actually pushed his back, and that hurt more than they took credit for. The family realized they should have known he was with them until they got to the hospital in late July. They saw him there, and called out to his family and family members. They talked more to him for a couple sentences. After that he was flown out to Cleveland.
Consequence of getting shot It’s safe to say that in the next few decades, dogs in American and international competitions have become such a part of the fabric of life they no longer serve a purpose. There are only 2 or 3 types of dogs being tested:
