I am reading the Call of the Wild by Jack London. I have read to page 157 out of 172. In the pages I've read so far Buck and his team keep traveling to different places. They have covered over 3000 miles so far and conditions for the dogs are getting better with the weather changes. The owner of the dogs, Francois has died and a new guy jumpes into his place. His name is John Thorton. Buck loves John and will do anything for John , John loves Buck to.
The wilderness is treating them well. Buck had pulled over 1000 pounds of flour because some men didn't believe Thorton. So Buck pulled the load and won a lot of money and John used it on a gun. With the gun Thorton is able to hunt and come up with food easier for the dogs. At night while camp is set up Buck hears noises and decides to find it. This noise is a Wolf that Buck turnes out to be best budds with, and some nights he would go find him.
This book is really good and very intense and yet again keeps you reading on. This book makes me wounder what it would be like if I were there. As I keep reading on and learning about Jack London, it made me realize this was his life, and he is now putting himself as a dog and creating new things in the book to go along. He had enough time on his hands to be able to make this and it turns out to be a great book. The big theme of the book would be keep driving on and it pays out in the end. The best character is Buck he never talks but shows us what hes made of. He loves to be around people and never gives up. He never backs down from a fight and is very skilled. He has grown in how strong he is and instinct. He becomes a leader and showed he could lead the team by how well he can adjust and keep going. There are many cool quotes in this story but I can't decide which one is the best between the descriptions and intesive quotes describing what the books main theme is. Jack London gets very confusing with big words and most of the story is lost because he doesn't come out and tell you whats happening so big question what is going on in the book.
