Analysis Of Jack London A Nature Faker

719 Words3 Pages

Most people think Jack London was a nature faker in his books, White Fang and The Call of the Wild, but he was not. A nature faker is an author that has been accused of humanizing animals which he surely was not doing. Jack London was a great writer that actually understood that animals had feelings way before the technology we have today. This claim has many types of evidence like the following: “How Smart are Dogs” by NOVA, “How Smart is a Dog Really” by Jeffrey Kluger, “Yes, Animals Think and Feel” by Simon Worrall, and “Nature Faker Controversy” by Ralph H. Lutts. This is important because with all this evidence, one can prove anyone wrong if they believe Jack London was a nature faker. In other words, Jack London has never been a nature faker. …show more content…

Then, the man added a toy that she had never seen before, a Charles Darwin doll. When the man told Chaser to find Darwin, it took her longer than usual to find it. After a long time of thinking, she finally found Darwin. This evidence supports the idea that dogs do actually think. It also tells us that dogs do think because Chaser had to think to find Darwin. Jack London also made dogs think in The Call of the Wild too. One example was when Spitz was about to fight Buck. Buck wanted to win the fight so he thought of ways to do so. In the end, his imagination was what helped him defeat Spitz. For this reason, Jack London was not a nature

    Jack London had been an American novelist and is known for works such as The Call of the Wild, which McCandless greatly admired. Chris McCandless had greatly admired Jack London, going as far as carving “Jack London is King” at what came to be the site of his death. The Jack London quote used in the epigraph describes a scene in the forest but uses bitter imagery- yet somehow still romanticises it. “Alex” was unable to ever see past the facade London had built- given that London had hardly ever spent time in the wild himself and most definitely nowhere near as intense as Alaska. This chapter had described how he had been found and this quote leads back to that because though Chris was intelligent, he did not understand that London had to make nature sound beautiful.

  • Nature In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

    1855 Words  | 8 Pages

    Nature is commonly defined as the outdoors, what separates the manmade structures from the wilderness. However, after a quick search, more intriguing definitions appeared like “humankind’s original or natural condition” (Merriam-Webster) and “reality, as distinguished from any effect of art” (Dictionary.com). While these definitions don’t fit the conventional definition of nature, they introduce a concept of purity and reality apart from clouded confusion that life can bring. Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest certainly experiences a rift from nature during his stay in the mental ward through the fog early on in the story. However, a reconnection with both definitions of nature, through McMurphy and the fishing trip, bring him back to reality and help him realize that he could break from his
