  13. The Call of the Wild Analysis – Chapters 1, 2, 3http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf By Jack London http://london.sonoma.edu/

  14. Jack London’s Stylehttp://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf London’s writing style is called “Naturalistic.” Naturalism is a writing style that presents reality as it is. Often Naturalism depicts the harshness of life with much action. London writes about the conflicts of life: man v man, man v nature, and man v self. London illustrates the philosophy of the “survival of the fittest.”

  18. Why do you think London started this story with Buck being a domestic dog? The reader is familiar with domestic dogs. The challenge of the transition for Buck is made obvious to the reader. The point of the story is served by it.

Quotations - The Call of the WildCh. 1 “Into the Primitive”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf “He did not know why, but he felt oppressed by the vague sense of impending calamity.” “And Buck was truly a red-eyed devil, as he drew himself together for the spring, hair bristling, mouth foaming, a madglitter in his bloodshot eyes.” “In midair, just as his jaws were about to close on the man, he received a shock that checked his body and brought his teeth together with an agonizing clip.”

  20. Quotations - The Call of the WildCh. 1 “Into the Primitive”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf “Perrault knew dogs, and when he looked at Buck he knew that he was one in a thousand.” “He was friendly, in a treacherous sort of way, smiling into one’s face the while he meditated some underhanded trick, as, for instance, when he stole from Buck’s food at the first meal.”

  21. Questions - The Call of the WildCh. 2 “The Law of Club and Fang”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf What are the “law of club and fang?” What makes these laws so different from Buck’s background?

  22. What are the “law of club and fang?” What makes these laws so different from Buck’s background? Man ruled with the club. Dogs ruled with their fangs. Take the club away, and man is no threat. Buck needed to rule with his fangs. Never had to do this before.

  25. Quotations - The Call of the WildCh. 2 “The Law of Club and Fang”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf “All was confusion and action, and every moment life and limb were in peril. There was imperative need to be constantly alert; for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They were savages, all of them, who knew no law but the law of club and fang.” “No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.”

  26. Quotations - The Call of the WildCh. 2 “The Law of Club and Fang”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf “He did not steal for joy of it, but because of the clamor of his stomach.” “Thus, as token of what a puppet thing life is, the ancient song surged through him and he came into his own again; and he came because men had found a yellow metal in the North, and because Manuel was a gardener’s helper whose wages did not lap over the needs of his wife and divers small copies of himself.”

  27. Questions - The Call of the WildCh. 3 “The Dominant Primordial Beast”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf What are the most important qualities that Buck has that help him survive in this environment?

  29. Why do you think there is so much violence in this story, and is it justified? In the wild, survival demands physical strength and violent response to predators or challengers. Violence in a violent environment is justified for survival. Nonviolence in the wild leads to death.

  30. Quotations - The Call of the WildCh. 3 “The Dominant Primordial Beast”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf “Then he was a masterful dog, and what made him dangerous was the fact that the club of the man in the red sweater had knocked all blind puck and rashness out of his desire for mastery.”

  31. Quotations - The Call of the WildCh. 3 “The Dominant Primordial Beast”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf “All that stirring of old instincts which at stated periods drives men out from the sounding cities to forest and plain to kill things by chemically propelled leaden pellets, the blood lust, the joy to kill—all this was Buck’s, only it was infinitely more intimate. 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.”

  32. Quotations - The Call of the WildCh. 3 “The Dominant Primordial Beast”http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pdf/teachersguides/callwild.pdf “There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.”
