A Review of The Call of The Wild

I About Jack London

Jack London(born Jan. 12, 1876, died Nov. 22, 1916), whose life symbolized the power of will, was the most successful writer in America in the early 20th Century. His vigorous stories of men and animals against the environment, and survival against hardships were drawn mainly from his own experience. An illegitimate child, London passed his childhood in poverty in the Oakland slums. At the age of 17, he ventured to sea on a sealing ship. The turning point of his life was a thirty-day imprisonment that was so degrading it made him decide to turn to education and pursue a career in writing. And his experiences of searching for gold in the Klondike (in Canada) left their mark in his stories. His work embraced the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism in its exploration of the laws of nature. He retired to his ranch near Sonoma, where he died at age 40 of various diseases and drug treatments.

Jack London is best known for his books The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf, and a few short stories, such as "To Build a Fire" and "The White Silence." In fact, he was a prolific writer whose fiction explored their geographies and their cultures: the Yukon, California, and the South Pacific. He experimented with many literary forms, from conventional love stories and dystopias (反乌托邦，政治讽刺小说) to science fantasy. His noted journalism included war correspondence, boxing stories, and the life of Molokai lepers. A committed socialist, he insisted against editorial pressures to write political essays and insert social criticism in his fiction. He was among the most influential figures of his day, who understood how to create a public persona and use the media to market his self-created image of poor-boy-turned-success. He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world. II Plot

Buck is a dog who leads a comfortable life in a California ranch home with his owner, a judge, until he is stolen and sold to pay off a gambling debt. Buck is taken to Alaska and sold to a pair of French Canadians who were impressed with his physique. They train him as a sled dog, and he quickly learns how to survive the cold winter nights and the pack society by observing his teammates. Buck is later sold again and passes hands several times, all the while improving his abilities as a sled dog and pack leader.

Eventually, Buck is sold to a man, his wife, and her brother who know nothing about sledding nor surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. They struggle to control the sled and ignore warnings not to travel during the spring melt. As they journey on, they run into John Thornton, an experienced outdoors man, who notices that all of the sled dogs are in terrible shape from the ill treatment of their handlers. Thornton warns the trio against crossing the river, but they refuse to listen and order Buck to mush. Exhausted, starving, and sensing the danger ahead, Buck refuses. Recognizing him as a remarkable dog and disgusted by the driver's beating of the dog, Thornton cuts him free from his traces and tells the trio he's keeping him. After some argument, the trio leaves and tries to cross the river, but as Thornton warned the ice gives way and they drown.

As Thornton nurses Buck back to health, Buck comes to love him and grows devoted to him. Thornton takes him on trips to pan for gold. Thornton and his friends go to their camp and continue their search for gold, while Buck begins exploring the wilderness around them and begins socializing with a local wolf pack. One morning, he returns from a three-day long hunt to find his beloved master and the others in the camp have been killed by some Yeehats (Native Americans). Buck finds some of them in the camp and kills them to avenge Thornton, later finding other members of the tribe, then returns to the woods to become alpha wolf (领头狼) of the pack. Each year he revisits the site where Thornton died, never completely forgetting the master he loved.

III My Opinions

The law of club and fang

Through Buck’s experiences living in the wild, Jack London wants to tell us that the world is dominated by those who are much stronger and more powerful than common people, and only the stronger ones could exist. This is the law of club and fang. Buck gradually realizes the law and begins to obey the law after he is stolen and taken to the wild. The savage environment which is full of tricks, dangers and deaths turns him to be more powerful and cunning. Finally, he becomes the leader of his team. Similar to the wild, our society becomes crueler and crueler, and

living in the society becomes harder and harder. If you want to exist, to have a good life, you should be tough enough to stand the sufferings; you should keep alert, watch and learn; you should make yourself stronger than others. This is the law of living.

Loyalty, Honor and Love

The dogs in the book are all loyal to their masters. For example, a man makes a wager with Thornton over Buck's strength and devotion. Buck wins the bet by breaking a half-ton sled out of the frozen ground, then pulling it 100 yards by himself.

In addition, all dogs have sense of honor. They are all proud of being sled dogs, and devote themselves to the work. For example, Dave, who is going to die, still insists on working. “Sick as he was, Dave resented being taken out, grunting and growling while the traces were unfastened and whimpering broken-heartedly when he saw Sol-leks (another dog) in the position he had held and served so long. For the pride of trace and trail was his, and, sick to death, he could not bear that another dog should do his work.”

Both loyalty and honor are based on love which is what touches me deeply. Because of love to Thornton, Buck does such thing that seems impossible to accomplish. Because of sense of honor, Dave insists on working till he dies.

The call of the wild

As we know, Buck answers the call of and returns to the wild finally. In my opinion, the call is not from the wild though Buck often hears the howl of the wolves. Instead, it is from the bottom of Buck’s heart. The call is the will or the instinct which makes him want to be himself: A wolf.

I think every one of us has a call in our hearts. The call is our dream, goal or something we really want to do. However, under the pressure of society, we often have to give up our dreams or goals, and do things we are unwilling to do. So we should learn something from Buck: Just follow the call, and be yourself!

1 To the north

Buck did not read the newspapers． He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California． Men had found gold in the Yukon， and these men wanted big， strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north．

Buck lived in Mr Miller's big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house， and a river nearby． In a big place like this，of course， there were many dogs There were house dogs and farm dogs， but they were not

important．Buck was chief dog；he was born here， and this was his place ．He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos ．He went

swimming with Mr Miller's sons，and walking with his daughters ．He carried the grandchildren on his back， and he sat at Mr Miller's feet in front of the fire in winter．

But this was 1897， and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold．And he did not know that Manuel， one of Mr Miller's garden－ers， needed money for his large family． One day，when Mr Miller was out， Manuel and Buck left the garden together．It was just an evening walk， Buck thought．No one saw them go， and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station．This man talked to Manuel， and gave him some money ．Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck's neck．

Buck growled， and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck．He jumped at the man．The man caught him and

suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth． For a few moments he was unable to move， and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train．

When Buck woke up， the train was still moving． The man was sitting and watching him， but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man's hand hard．Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go． That evening， the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco． The barman looked at the man's hand and trousers covered in blood．

‘How much are they paying you for this？’he asked．

‘I only get fifty dollars．’

‘And the man who stole him—how much did he get？’ asked the barman．

‘A hundred． He wouldn't take less．’

‘That makes a hundred and fifty． It's a good price for a dog like him ．Here， help me to get him into this．’

They took off Buck's rope and pushed him into a wooden box． He spent the night in the box in the back room of the bar． His neck still ached with pain from the rope， and he could not understand what it all

meant ． What did they want with him， these strange men？ And where was Mr Miller？

The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train

to the north．

For two days and nights the train travelled north， and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank． Men on the train laughed at him and pushed sticks at him through the holes in the box． For two days and nights Buck got angrier and hungrier and thirsti-er． His eyes grew red and he bit anything that moved．

In Seattle four men took Buck to a small， high－walled back

garden， where a fat man in an old red coat was waiting． Buck was now very angry indeed and hejumped and bit at the sides of his box． The fat man smiled and went to get an axe and a club．

‘Are you going to take him out now？’ asked one of the men． ‘Of course，’ answered the fat man， and he began to break the box with his axe．

Immediately the four other men climbed up onto the wall to watch from a safe place．

As the fat man hit the box with his axe， Buck jumped at the sides， growling and biting， pulling with his teeth at the pieces of broken

wood． After a few minutes there was a hole big enough for Buck to get out． ‘ Now， come here， red eyes，’ said the fat man， dropping his axe and taking the club in his right hand．

Buck jumped at the man， sixty kilos of anger， his mouth wide open ready to bite the man's neck． Just before his teeth touched the skin， the man hit him with the club． Buck fell to the ground． It was the first time anyone had hit him with a club and he did not understand． He stood up， and jumped again． Again the club hit him and he crashed to the ground．Ten times he jumped at the man， and ten times the club hit him． Slowly he got to his feet， now only just able to stand．There was blood on his nose and mouth and ears． Then the fat man walked up and hit him again， very hard， on the nose．The pain was terrible． Again， Buck jumped at the man and again he was hit to the ground．A last time he jumped， and this time， when the man knocked him down， Buck did not move．

‘He knows how to teach a dog a lesson，’ said one of the men on the wall． Then the four men jumped down and went back to the station． ‘His name is Buck，’said the fat man to himself， reading the letter that had come with the box．‘Well， Buck， my by，’he said in a friendly voice，‘we've argued a little， and I think the best thing to do now is to stop． Be a good dog and we'll be friends． But if you're a bad dog， I'll have to use my club again．Understand？’

Chapter 1 Introduction

The most famous novel about the animal from the American famous novelist Jack London (1876-1916) is The Call of the Wild. It is one of the masterpieces of the great American writer Jack London, and it has always been my favorite novel. It apparently is a dog‘s story. In the deep part, London makes a reflection of the real human life through Buck‘s life. He treats animals like human beings and human beings are just like animals, recognizing no essential difference between man and animal. Jack London‘s uncanny understanding of animal and human natures give this novel a striking vitality and power. After reading it, people could not help pondering over his own life and thinking about what is the real meaning of human nature that always resounds in the inner heart like the Wild appealing Buck to return to its arms. Buck‘s story in fact is a human‘s life story. Some interesting comparisons will show how amazingly similar these two worlds are, and some inspirations can be drawn from this allegoric story.

One of the characteristics of his novel lies in their themes, especially focusing on the fight between the human and the nature and his expression of respect for human‘s strong will in these fights. But his novel stands out among all this kind of human—nature conflict stories because he is clever enough to make cruel story interesting and plotting. In this novel, the whole story is based on a smart dog, Buck, which makes it fresh beyond the outlook of a dog and the common description of it. This is a story that takes place in the original wilderness of the backland snow and icebound in North America, describing a dog who named Buck to be drawn in the wave of gold rush in Alaska. He experiences various sufferings struck with soul—stirring, and be caused to remember his ancestry by instinct in the howl. Generally, the original innate wild of the wolf has revived in his deep soul. Finally, under the lure of the wolf, the wildness in the untamed nature brought to his life little by little and his social return to the nature from the civilization. Although the novel describes a dog, it gives the dog with the innate intelligence, using ―he‖ and ―they‖ to call them completely. The purpose lies in being reflected the pathetic life of the labor people in a capitalism society by the career of a dog, expressing the strong wild that they resist the exploitation and oppression and look forward to the freedom. Not only does the story tell that the hero returns to the great universe, but also it emphasizes the process that his soul returns to

the wild. Use a new writing skill to announce the topic of the returning.

This novel has 7 chapters. The launch, development and the end of the story is by the clues of the living environment and mind variety of Buck. It can be divided into four importance parts: ⑴Buck was born in Judge Miller‘s house in the sunny valley of Santa Clara in Southern and he had the comfortable life but because of the pan for gold, he was thrown into the abyss of pain and sufferings; ⑵ The difficult life after Buck become a sledge dog and the maltreatment which he was subjected and his resists; ⑶The fights between dog and dog and finally Buck acquired the master policy; ⑷ Buck ruptured the relation to the person‘s at last, and the call of the wild makes him bring his life to the untamed nature, becoming one member of wolves.

Study on the Causes of Buck’s Returning the Wild

摘要：本文运用马克思主义辩证关系原理，科学地探索了巴克回归自然的内因和外因，并对人类进行了深刻的反思。淘金热是巴克转变的一个间接原因，也是一个大背景。巴克凭着先天优势在残酷的不断变化的环境中，学得了重要的生存法则，即“适者生存”。由此发现，虽然外部环境在不断变化，但巴克凭着自己的能力掌握规律，以另一种方式生存。这表明外因在一定程度上影响了事物的发展，而事物的发展是由内因决定的。

关键字：内因;外因；生存法则；适应能力。

Abstract: On the basis of Marxist dialectic, this passage makes a study on the internal and external causes of buck’s returning to the wild, and makes a reflection of human beings as well. Prevailing phenomenon of seeking gold is an indirect cause as well as a big backdrop of the time. Buck, learning against his superior advantages, learned a critical law of existence, that is, survival of the fittest. In this sense, in spite of the various environments, Buck mastered the law against his own adaptability and led a different way of life. That indicates the external causes have an effect on the development of things, while it is the internal cause that decides the final implementation of things.

Key words: external causes; internal causes; law of existence; adaptability

1.Introduction:

The call of the wild, one of the representative works, written by Jack London, reveal many realities and truths that deserve ponder and study. On the ground of Marxist dialectic, we choose to the causes, internal and external, that push Buck to return to the wild. Any implementation of phenomenon is formed by the combined effect of internal and external causes, thus, to know the process and results of development in things, finding out the reasons is necessary. At the same time, thoughts should not be confined in things themselves, but touch the lessons and experience hiding in the development of things, that is, in the call of the wild, we should see the illumination from Buck’s shift of life, and make self-reflection. In this sense, reflection on human beings being the third part of this passage, apart from external causes and internal causes.

2.External Causes

2.1 The Found of Yellow Metal

It is a direct reason that leads to Buck´s hardship. It is the found of gold that increase the demand for dogs of strong muscle and long hair, which can according make them pull sled protect them from frost. Also it is the found that offers Manuel, one of the gardener´s helpers an opportunity to reduce his debt, that is to sell Buck. Buck was betrayed and forced to begin his shift of life.

2.2.The Big Contrast in Living Conditions

Buck had lived the sun-kissed santé clara valley，where was beautiful and peaceful. “It stood back from the road, half-hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran round its four sides. The house was approached by graveled drive ways which wound about through wide spreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. At

the rear things were on even a more spacious scale than at the front.” .“There were great stables, where a dozen grooms and boys held forth, rows of vine-clad servants’ cottages, an endless and orderly array of outhouses , long grape arbors, green pastures, orchards, and berry patches.” And there he got well along with people, especially his little masters. “He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge’s sons; he escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge’s daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge’s feet before the roaring library fire; he carried the Judge’s grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their footsteps through wild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and even beyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches.”

Besides, he enjoyed a fine pride there, “Among the terriers, he stacked imperiously, and Toots, and Ysabel he utterly ignored for he was king-----king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller’s place, humans included.”

But after his leaving, he never enjoyed the happiness dignity as well as pride in high position. The snow-covered world was crude, chilly, and miserable, and Buck, as equally as other dogs, had to confronted that, and bore the pain of fresh and spirit that was beyond imagination.

“Once the sled broke through , with Dave and Buck, and were half-frozen and all but drowned by the time they were dragged out. The usual fire was necessary to save them. They were coated solidly with ice, and the two men kept them on the run around the fire, sweating and thawing, so close that they were singed by the flames.”

Not only did torture him, but also, worse, the merciless humankind who offered no adequate food, while drove the dogs to continuously proceed for miles and miles. At best, like Francois, who rubbed Buck’s soft feet and make moccasins for Buck. At least, like Mercede, who plus the weight of the sled without considering the dogs.“Again Hal’s whip fell upon the dogs. They threw themselves against the breastbands, dug their feet into the packed snow, got down low to it, and put forth all their strength. The sled held as thought it were an anchor. After two efforts, they stood still, panting. The whip was wrestling savagely.”

Furthermore Buck had to cope with the clashes occurred among huskies or between them and the invaders against their weak condition. As time went by death was not the acquaintance. “Buck staggered over against the sled, exhausted, sobbing for breath, helpless. This was Spitz’s opportunity. He sprang upon Buck, and twice his teeth sank into his unresisting foe and ripped and tore the flesh to the bone.” All the said facts gradually dig Buck’s nature out, and make him a beast step by step.

2.3 The Death of Thornton

The Death of Thornton is the most direct reason of Buck’s backing to the wild. Thornton saved buck, and buck was more than grateful for him, but loved him. Buck was content to adore at a distance. He would lie by the hour, eager, alert, at Thornton’s feet, looking up to his face, upon it studying it, following with keenest interest each fleeting expression, every moment or change of feature. Or, as chance might have it, he would lie farther away, to the side or rear, watching the

outlines of the man and the occasional movements of his body. Thornton was the very master in his ideal. And it was Buck’s love for Thornton that left the wild suspended. despite his beast impulse was in summit. “ But as often as he gained the soft unbroken earth and the green shade, the love for John Thornton drew him back to the fire again.” “Thornton alone held him. The rest of mankind was as nothing.” Therefore, when Thornton died, Buck despaired to death, and entered into the wild without any nostalgia.

3．Internal Causes

3.1. The Strain of Buck

Buck’s ancestors were wolves，known as fierce savage and crude，while in Buck’s gene，those features had been hid since his ancestors were trained by human beings. At the beginning，not only did he hatred men，but trust in them。“Buck had accept the rope with quiet dignity。To between，it was unwonted performance，but he had learned to trust in men he knew。”But that was transient，those characteristics were just hid not polished or wiped out，the subsequent series of challenge would make him recall the beast nature。”“Not only did he learn by experience，but instincts long dead become alive again. In vague ways he remembered back to the youth of thr breed，to the time the wild dogs ranged in packs through the primeval forest，and killed their meat

as they ran it clown。”“He was ranging at the head of the pack，running· the wild thing down，the living meat，to kill with his own teeth and wash his muzzle to the eyes in warm blood。”

Besides the beast nature was gradually renovated，the gene of beast never stopped manipulating Buck’s behaviors 。Buck was not so much alike as a house-dog，he went out to exerciseand built up his body，not like the common pets ，as the apanese pug and Mexican hairless who even did not put nose out of the door。“But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere pampered house-dog。Hunting and kinder outdoor delights had kept down the far and hardened his muscles ”

3.2．The Adaptability of Buck

The constant change of environment around Buck required a brilliant adaptability because in different environment ，one had to scrupulously cope with different people and dogs。Fortunately，he possessed that。

And his adaptability was demonstrated by the several lessons he acquired。Firstly，the law of club，Buck was a civilized dog with dignity，never treated by others with rude actions。He instinctively resisted，but beaten by the club hold by the person in red。After several failures ，he realized“That club was a revelation。It was his introduction to the region of primitive law。”。Secondly，the law of fang。This lesson told him to be left alone or he would be tore up ，clashes and curly was the typical example of the law。Thirdly，dig a hole for himself。Unlike the judge Miller’s place ，the snow-covered world was merciless，he was not allowed into the men’s camp 。so digging a hole was the only way to have a rest。“The day had been long and arduous ，and he slept soundly and comfortably。”Forthly ，eating quickly。This lesson protecting his poor portion from being robbed ，even making him rot other’s

food ，was very important to him。“He never had enough，and suffered from perpetual hunger pangs。Yet the other dogs，because they weighted less and were to keep in good condition 。”The last but not least ，was stealing。“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 have meant swift and terrible death。

When he became sofisticated by using those lessons，his desire being larger and larger as his beast nature being more and more clear，so that he killed Spize and replaced him，as a dog leader，even agitated the violence among dogs with clever means。His adaptability made Buck close to a real beast，step by step。

4.Reflection on Human Beings

By studying the experience of Buck, we find there are many aspects deserved to learn. Following are the illuminations that we got from Buck: Firstly, success is formed in the difficulties. The change of environment brought troubles Buck, but meanwhile forged him into a successful beast. Secondly, never loosing alert, when we living in peace. Buck is clever. He exercises to keep weight, which increases his advantages, at least over wrestling. Thirdly, adaptability is necessary. Environment surrounding us is probably to change at any time, thus, we need to adjust ourselves to the new conditions. There is certain laws existing in the development of things, so if we are able to master the law as buck did, we can survive. A famous saying by Darvine that the fittest will survive is the very explanation. Last but not least, compete against wisdom and bravery. What stressed here is that Buck is a dog, so in the world he lived battles and killing were inevitable. While human being is civilized, therefore, the means used by people should also be civilized, not bloody. If violence occupies the whole process of competition for survival, there would be no difference between men and beast.

Peeping at Human through Dog

—— The Review of The Call of the Wild

张璐 Class C

“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 savage 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 heavy 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 behavior 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 obtain 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 heave pulling and poor condition where they were tired and short of weight. Buck’ partner, Dave 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 doubt, 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, saved 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 leave 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 having to leave 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 behavior, 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 have 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 save 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 have a vision of us human that was also

《野性的呼唤 英文评论》

杰克·伦敦(1876-1916)在世界文坛享有很高的声誉。他的很多作品在国内外都广受欢迎。在我国，许多读者对伦敦的作品尤其是两部动物小说《野性的呼唤》和《白牙》

都很熟悉。到目前为止，我国对于伦敦这两部动物小说的研究大多是对其内容、主题及写作方法的介绍和评议。也有一部分批评家从自然主义的角度来解读这两部动物小说，分别阐述环境和遗传对动物的影响。本文认为，在生态批评的背景下研读这两部动物小说，可以发现作品蕴涵了丰富的生态思想。生态批评是随着环境的恶化而产生的。生态批评的主要任务就是探讨人与自然的关系，特别关注人类发展对环境的负面影响。人类的发展导致环境恶化和生态危机。生态批评最现实的意义是在反思与批判中唤醒人们的生态意识。所以，从生态批评的视角对杰克·伦敦的动物小说进行重新阐释既有理论意义，又有现实意义。本文通过文本细读对伦敦的这两部动物小说进行了生态主义解读。文章分为四个部分： 第一章主要介绍伦敦这两部动物小说的研究现状和本文的创新研究。 第二章阐述生态批评的兴

起、特点及其理论原则--反人类中心主义、深层生态学和生态整体主义。 第三章分析生态批评的理论原则在这两部小说中的体现。小说的主人公对狗的控制、虐待体现了人类中心主义。伦敦对人类中心主义是极其厌恶的。深层生态更多地关注自然，而小说中狗就是自然的代表。深层生态强调生物的多样性和每一种生命形式的内在价值。首先分析狗的内在价值--狗的忠诚、自尊和智慧。这些都是狗的人性的一面；然后分析狗的野性的一面。

第四章总结小说蕴涵的生态思想并希望读者承担起自己的生态责任。

Buck, a dog

Spitz, his enemy

John Thornton, his friend

Buck is the undisputed leader of all the dogs on Judge Miller’s estate in California. A crossbreed of St. Bernard and Scottish shepherd, he inherited the size of the first and the intelligence of the latter. Buck cannot know that the lust for gold hit the human beings of the

country and that dogs of his breed are much in demand as sled dogs in the frozen North. Consequently, he is not suspicious when a workman on the estate takes him for a walk one night. The man takes Buck to the railroad station, where the dog hears the

exchange of money. Then a rope is placed around his neck. When he struggles to get loose, the rope draws so tight that it shuts off his breath, and he loses consciousness.

He recovers in a baggage car. When the train reaches Seattle, Washington, Buck tries to break out of his cage while he is being unloaded. A man in a red shirt hits him with a club until he is senseless. After that, Buck knows that he can never win a fight against a club. He retains that knowledge for future use.

Buck is put in a pen with other dogs of his type. Each day, some of the dogs go away with strange men who come with money. One day, Buck is sold. Two French Canadians buy him and some other dogs and take them on board a ship sailing for Alaska. The men are fair, though harsh, masters, and Buck respects them. Life on the ship is not particularly enjoyable, but it is a paradise compared to what awaits Buck when the ship reaches Alaska. There he finds men and dogs to be little more than savages, with no law but the law of force. The dogs fight like wolves, and when one is downed, the pack moves in for the kill. Buck watches one of his shipmates being torn to

pieces after he loses a fight, and he never forgets the way one dog

in particular, Spitz, watches sly-eyed as the loser is slashed to ribbons. Spitz is Buck’s enemy from that time on.

Buck and the other dogs are harnessed to sleds on which the two French Canadians carry mail to prospectors in remote regions. It is a new kind of life to Buck but not an unpleasant one. The men treat the dogs well, and Buck is intelligent enough to learn quickly those things that make him a good sled dog. He learns to dig under the snow for a warm place to sleep and to keep the traces clear and thus make pulling easier. When he is hungry, he steals food. The instincts of his ancestors come to life in him as the sled goes farther and farther north. In some vague manner, he senses the great cunning of the wolves who have been his ancestors in the wilderness. Buck’s muscles grow firm and taut and his strength greater than ever. Yet his feet become sore, and he has to have moccasins. Occasionally, one of the dogs dies or is killed in a fight, and one female goes mad. The dogs no longer work as a team, and the two men are on guard constantly to prevent fights. One day Buck sees his chance; he attacks Spitz, the lead dog on the sled, and kills him. After that, Buck refuses to be harnessed until he is given the lead position. He proves his worth by whipping the rebellious dogs into shape, and he becomes the best lead dog that the men have ever seen. The sled makes record runs, and Buck is soon famous.

When they reach Skaguay, the two French Canadians have official orders to turn the team over to a Scottish half-breed. The sled is heavier and the weather bad on the trip back to Dawson. At night, Buck lies by the fire and dreams of his wild ancestors. He seems to hear a faraway call like a wolf’s cry. After two days’ rest in Dawson, the team starts back over the long trail to Skaguay. The dogs are almost exhausted. Some die and have to be replaced. When the team arrives again in Skaguay, the dogs expect to rest, but three days later, they are sold to two men and a woman who know nothing about dogs or sledding conditions in the northern wilderness. Buck and the other dogs start out again, so weary that it is an effort to move. Again and again, the gallant dogs stumble and fall and lie still until the sting of a whip brings them to their feet for a few miles. At last, even Buck gives up. The sled stops at the cabin of John

Thornton, and when the men and the woman are ready to leave, Buck refuses to get up. One of the men beats Buck with a club and would have killed him, but Thornton intervenes, knocking the man down and ordering him and his companions to leave. They leave Buck with Thornton.

As Thornton nurses Buck back to health, a feeling of love and

respect grows between them. When Thornton’s partners return to the cabin, they understand this affection and do not attempt to use Buck for any of their heavy work. Twice, Buck saves Thornton’s life and is glad that he can repay his friend. In Dawson, Buck wins more than a thousand dollars for Thornton on a wager, when the dog breaks loose a sled carrying a thousand-pound load from the ice. With the money won on the wager, Thornton and his partners go on a gold-hunting expedition. They travel far into eastern Alaska, where they find a stream yellow with gold. In his primitive mind, Buck begins to see a hairy man who hunts with a club. He hears the howling of the wolves. Sometimes he wanders off for three or four days at a time, but he always goes back to Thornton. At one time, he makes friends with a wolf that seems like a brother to Buck.

Once Buck chases and kills a great bull moose. On his way back to the camp, he senses that something is wrong. He finds several dogs lying dead along the trail. When he reaches the camp, he sees Indians dancing around the bodies of the dogs and Thornton’s two partners. He follows Thornton’s trail to the river, where he finds the body of his friend full of arrows. Buck is filled with such a rage that he attacks the band of Indians, killing some and scattering the others.

His last tie with humanity broken, he joins his brothers in the wild wolf packs. The Indians think him a ghost dog, for they seldom see more than his shadow, so quickly does he move. Had the Indians watched carefully, however, they could see him closely. Once each year, Buck returns to the river where Thornton died. There the dog stands on the bank and howls, one long, piercing cry that is the tribute of a savage beast to his human friend.

Jack London’s adventure stories made him one of the most popular writers of his day. In works such as The Call of the Wild, White Fang (1906), and Jerry of the Islands (1917) London makes animals into compelling leading characters, as engaging and sympathetic as any human protagonists. London’s animal stories do not

anthropomorphize animals simply to play on the heartstrings of his audience. Some of his contemporaries criticized him for writing maudlin beast fables suitable only for children, but these critics

misrepresented London’s books and misunderstood his literary aims. London resisted the sentimental beast fables of his day, which

personified animals to manipulate the reader’s emotions. London’s stories, instead, reflect more substantial scientific and philosophical

issues. His goal is not to make animals appear human, but to emphasize the hereditary connection that humans have with animals.

London was heavily influenced by the works of Charles Darwin (On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, 1859, and The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, 1871). In The Call of the Wild, Buck’s experience follows Darwinian principles. He is molded by the changes in his environment, thriving because he possesses the necessary genetic gifts of strength and intelligence to adapt to his mutable circumstances. He is an example of a popular understanding of Darwin’s theories: survival of the fittest. Although raised in the domestic ease of Judge Miller’s estate, Buck learns quickly what it takes to endure the brutal world of dog-sledding — the “law of club and fang.” When Buck first learns to steal food from one of his French Canadian masters, readers are told that this “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 Call of the Wild also reflects London’s admiration for the works of nineteenth century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. In the North, might makes right, and Buck proves to be the animal equivalent of Nietzsche’s superman, possessing physical and mental abilities superior to those of the other dogs.

Buck, however, does not experience only raw nature. With John Thornton he returns to a more civilized existence. London’s dog stories shuttle between the poles of the domesticated and the wild, of the civilized and the natural. The Call of the Wild begins in a domesticated environment and ends in the wild. (Conversely, White Fang begins in nature and ends in civilization.) Thornton’s compassionate influence helps temper the savage ferocity Buck

develops to survive in a crueler world. The wild instinct still remains. Buck’s love for Thornton compels Buck to be obedient, loyal, and altruistic, but his wild half keeps calling to him. Buck’s romp in the woods with the wolf that seems like a brother to him anticipates his complete surrender to nature when Thornton dies. In the end, Buck obeys the call of the wild.

The Call of the Wild suggests that the reader draw a corollary

between the divided nature of Buck and that of every human being. Inspired by Darwin, London believed in the evolutionary continuity between animals and human beings. If human beings evolved from animals, then what exists on a lower level in animals must hold true on a higher level for human beings. London does not give Buck human qualities but suggests that animals and humans share

《野性的呼唤读书笔记全英文版 之 作者简介》

1 J ack London was born in San Francisco on January 12, 1876, the illegitimate son of Flora Wellman, the rebellious daughter of an aristocratic family, and William Chaney, a traveling astrologer who abandoned Flora when she became pregnant. Eight months after her son was born, Flora married John London, a grocer and Civil War veteran whose last name the infant took. London grew up in Oakland, and his family was mired in poverty throughout his youth. He remained in school only through the eighth grade but was a voracious reader and a frequent visitor to the Oakland Public Library, where he went about edu-cating himself and laying the groundwork for his impending literary career.

In his adolescent years, London led a rough life, spending time as a pirate in San Francisco Bay, traveling the Far East on sealing expeditions, and making his way across America as a tramp. Finally, temporarily tired of adventure, London returned to Oakland and graduated from high school. He was even admitted to the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed only for a semester. The Klondike gold rush (in Canada’s Yukon Territory) had begun, and in 1897 London left college to seek his fortune in the snowy North.

The gold rush did not make London rich, but it furnished him with plenty of material for his career as a writer, which began in the late 1890s and continued until his death in 1916. He worked as a reporter, covering the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 and the Mexican Revolution in the 1910s; meanwhile, he published over fifty books and became, at the time, America’s most famous author. For a while, he was one of the most widely read authors in the world. He embodied, it was said, the spirit of the American West, and his portrayal of adventure and frontier life seemed like a breath of fresh air in comparison with nineteenth-century Victorian fiction, which was often overly concerned with what had begun to seem like trivial and irrelevant social norms.

The Call of the Wild, published in 1903, remains London’s most famous work, blending his experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness with his ideas about nature and the struggle for existence. He drew these ideas from various influential figures, including Charles Darwin, an English naturalist credited with -developing theories about biological evolution, and Friedrich Nietzsche, a prominent German philosopher. Although The Call of the Wild is first and foremost a story about a dog, it displays a -philosophical depth absent in most animal adventures.

London was married twice—once in 1900, to his math tutor and friend Bess Maddern, and again in 1905, to his secretary Charmian Kittredge, whom he considered his true love. As his works soared in popularity, he became a contradictory figure, arguing for socialist principles and women’s rights even as he himself lived a materialist life of luxury, sailing the world in his boat, the Snark, and running a large ranch in northern California. Meanwhile, he preached -equality and the brotherhood of man, even as novels like The Call of the Wild celebrated violence, power, and brute force.

London died young, on November 22, 1916. He had been plagued by stomach problems and failing kidneys for years, but many have suggested that his death was a suicide. Whatever the cause, it is clear that London, who played the various roles of journalist, novelist, prospector, sailor, pirate, husband, and father, lived life to the fullest.

读《野性的呼唤》有感

出于对狗的喜爱，我曾阅读过许多描写狗的小说,但最具震撼力的，无疑是美国作家杰克·伦敦的这部《野性的呼唤》。

故事开始于美国南部一个大法官家中。我们的主人公是一条有着圣伯纳德犬和苏格兰牧羊犬混血血种的狗，巴克，一条养尊处优的贵族狗。但故事还有一个背景，阿拉斯加淘金热，大批的人涌向那个冰天雪地的地方，他们需要助手——狗，因此，大批的狗被贩卖到阿拉斯加;这其中，也包括了巴克。他先是被园丁助手贩卖出去，又在一个地方被一个穿红毛衣的人用棍棒“教育”，在那里，他懂得了“棍棒与犬牙的法则”，这里，也是他野性被唤醒的第一步。

如果说，这个男人的棍棒是打开他尘封野性的钥匙，那么后面卷毛的惨遇以及等等他的同伴的习性和遭遇则是真正交给他生存法则的教条。卷毛的死，让他明白了极地的生存法则：只能站着，绝不能倒下，倒下就是死。巴克的偷盗，让他明白了，在这个地方，只有生存是最重要的，这里不是南方，道德没有任何用;他第一次顺利的偷窃，也标示着他已经适应了这里的生活。当然，还有一条对巴克的转变有着重要意义的狗——丝毛犬。他不断的试图挑衅，巴克开始一直忍让着，避免引发正面冲突。正是他让巴克不断的学习，并且真正变得狡猾：他能引起内哄，能自己结党。最后巴克战胜了他，是他让巴克尝试到了杀戮的快感，血腥的满足。他让巴克，真正意义上回归了野性。

此时的巴克，已经没有任何仁义道德可言。他适应了北方残酷的生存环境，习惯了弱肉强食的生活。他杀掉了丝毛犬，取而代之当上了领头犬，并且将一只狗队管理的井然有序。他，已经完全蜕变了。蜕变成一只堪比当地的爱斯基摩犬，甚至比爱斯基摩犬还要狡猾的“野兽”。

他辗转经过了许多主人的手中，在最后一个主人，对他有救命之恩的约翰•桑顿和他的狗那里，他感受到了爱，感受到了温暖，开始了一段，也是最后一段，平静的生活。但此时巴克身上的野性已然复苏。他感受到了来自森林深处的召唤。他一次又一次的奔向林中，却又因为桑顿一次又一次的回来。在这段过程中，他认识了一条狼。在那一次他奔回营地的路上，他感受到了不同寻常的气息。他发现，营地上已经满是当地的土著，耶哈兹人，并且，他们已经杀害了桑顿和他的朋友们，他的狗。巴克怀着满腔的怒火，如一只狂怒的野兽，冲向了耶哈兹人，他毫不留情的撕断他们的喉咙，并且不为他们所伤。他一直追赶着他们，一直发泄着自己的怒火。

最后，他回到营地，找到了桑顿的尸体。他仰望苍天，发出长长的嗥叫。这嗥叫是伤感的，是忠诚的，是震撼人心的。巴克对约翰这浓浓的爱意正是野性的一种表达方式。

桑顿死了，人类社会对于巴克而言再无牵挂，他走入狼群，以实力当上了狼王，并且被当地的土著看做幽灵一般的野兽。他每年，都会来到桑顿当年死亡的地方，默哀，然后，继续回归到它的

狼群中去。

巴克原是一只文明犬，但为了生存，他挣脱了文明的束缚。他有着极强的适应能力，他能很快的认识到环境的改变带给人们信条的变化并及时的作出反应。我们当今的社会，不也是这样一种弱肉强食的状态么?适者生存，这是一个亘古不变的真理，在动物，乃至人类世界里，都是真理。巴克在不断的磨练中，成长为一只无可匹敌的狗，甚至转化为狼。而我们，也应该在生活的磨难中，不断学习，不断成长。从一株温室中的花朵，蜕变成可以经受住风雨考验的，苍天大树。甚至，能够为别人遮挡风雨。成长为一个真正成熟的人。

故事里，狗也有不同的性格：有温顺随和的、有友善的、有的尖刻外向的、有很有威严的、有阴险狠毒的、有胆小怕事的、也有喜欢偷懒装病的。这些狗，其实也就如同一个人类社会的缩影。人类之间有竞争，狗之间也有竞争;人类有需要肩负的责任，他们也有。他们，也是人类灵魂的再现。他们有野性，人类，也有。每个人内心深处，其实都向巴克一样，潜藏着一份最深层的，最原始的，又不易被人们发觉的野性。现代人的生活，受到各种规则压制太久，不再能看到野性，只能看到一只只被驯服的家兽。而有野性的人，是不羁的，是充满活力的。他们不为机械化的工作生活所困扰，充满了积极向上的精神。他们敢爱敢恨，有残忍也有仁慈，有憎恶也有挚爱，而且他们从不吝于表达自己的情绪。他们的灵魂，敢于响应远古时期的呼唤;他们的灵魂，是属于自然的。他们，是人类的巴克。

这是一部意味深长的小说，它集动物故事、探险故事、回归自然故事、人性故事、心理故事、寓言故事等等于一身。它表面上写的是一只名叫巴克的聪明强壮的狗，在阿拉斯加荒野的残酷环境下，为了生存和群狗进行殊死战斗，随后他身上狼的野性逐渐被唤醒，最后回归原始森林，变成了狼;但更深层的反映了在封建社会受到压迫的底层民众对自由的渴望。同时，在这本书里，我也读到了对光明未来的向往。

我相信，这本书教给我的精神，不战胜困难誓不罢休的毅力以及对自由的渴望，还有这个残酷世界弱肉强食的生存法则，足够我受用一生。

野性，可能是一种残忍的东西，但也是一种很单纯的东西。它可以让一条文明狗享受杀戮的快乐;也可以让一条血腥的狗，对一个人无比忠诚，无比深爱，与一个人架构起深厚的友谊。但说到底，它最终带来的，是一种灵魂的归属。
