What is the call of the wild?
As I have read this book and as I understand it, it is interpreted in only one way. A house breed dog named buck was taking from his home and forced in to a life of miserable torment. But along the way he finds deep inside of himself the "wild side" that has been held dormant
Should the Call of the Wild be described as a "Dog Book"?
I do not believe that it should for the following reason. As I understand the book it is place threw the eyes of a dog but the lesson that the author try's to teach the reader is one of its own. That has nothing to do with dogs. It has to do more with understanding where our wild sides came from.
What does Thorton's place represent for buck? Does this change?..
