All over the world books are getting banned with the intention of protecting people, but most importantly protecting children from inappropriate things. People such as librarians, parents, teachers, and others give their opinions about the content in books, which leads to the banning of a book or titled as challenged. Jack London 's book The Call of the Wild got banned between the 1920 's and 1930 's in Yugoslavia and Italy. Besides being banned, it also was burned in Nazi Germany. They said that the socialism in the book angered and threatened them. Also, the animal cruelty made them think that London was accepting of it (Banned Books). Due to this book London was called a "nature faker" by President Theodore

London carried with a ease and sureness of perception that appeared also to be “without effort of discovery”- through the ages of fire and roof to the beginnings of animal creation. The theory of racial instinct, that was at the start, through long axons, a very conscious and alert process behavior indeed. This theory, as developed by such figures as Samuel Belter, Bergson or Jung, Similarly, the scene in which Buck finally disposed Spitz as the leader of the team surrounded by the ring of huskies waiting to kill and eat the vanquished king. He was a perfect instance of the ‘son-horde’ theory which Frazer traced in The Golden Bough, and of that primitive ritual to which Freud himself attributed both a sense of original sin and the fundamental

Buck 's intelligence and strength helped him survive, but the determination and will to live is what really got Buck through his hardships. A major theme in The Call of the Wild is "Determination can get you through anything," a statement Buck proves multiple times. Buck was a strong-willed dog that faced many challenges, from being kidnapped, sold to Alaskan gold miners, becoming a sled-dog and conflict with other dogs. While Buck 's wits, strength, and most likely some luck assisted him in his journey, Buck stayed determined throughout and it got him to where he wanted to be.

Bill Gates, the center of Microsoft. Larry Page, a founder of Google. But what made them to be a person who influences many people’s life everyday. It’s the same thing that made Buck one of the best sled dogs ever, a Growth Mindset. Buck realizes that a growth mindset to survive and thrive in the new habitat of the Klondike region. Call of the Wild starts with introducing Buck, a mix breed between a St. Bernard and a Sheepdog. He lives on the wealthy estate of Judge Miller. Buck is soon sold into sled dogging and is sent to the Klondike region of Alaska and Canada. In Jack London’s Call of the Wild, the theme is that Buck not only uses a growth mindset to survive, but he also uses it to thrive.

Everybody has something they want to accomplish, however life doesn’t give things for free; goals are accomplished through hard work and determination. Every living being in the world would be able to relate to pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones to reach something. Everyone wants to reach a goal, and the book shows that success is only given to those willing to give everything they have. This text directly supports this philosophy. In the book ‘A Long Walk to Water’, Salva faces a myriad of different roadblocks in between him and his goal, and this story shows his hard work that got him to a better life. First, Salva must cross the massive Nile river and the sweltering Akobo desert to survive. Second, around halfway through Salva’s long journey, his Uncle tries to motivate him and keep him going, even when he feels as though he can’t continue. Finally, Salva must learn to stand alone without anyone by his side

A firm and unbroken belief in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. To overcome all objects in the way. This is perseverance. As a New Critic, this line can be broken down and analyzed for its use of allusions, word choice, and importance as a whole to the theme of the poem.

Jack London’s novel, Call of the Wild, tells the story of Buck, a tame dog, who is kidnapped from his peaceful home in Santa Clara Valley in California, to the height of the gold rush up in the Klondike. Dramatically, Buck’s life alters as he is forced into the harsh world of the Alaskan wilderness and faces challenging obstacles. In this novel, Jack London demonstrates vicariously through Buck’s hardships that intelligence allows one to adapt.

Call of the Wild is a book about a sled pulling dog named Buck, Buck wasn’t always pulling sleds though. He used to be a domesticated dog living under the roof of a rich Judge, but all of that changed when he was captured and sold to two men who were crossing the Yukon territory. Through many courses of events, Buck became wild, hence the name of the book. This book takes place in the Yukon territory which was freezing and conditions were very rough, by the end of the story Buck had changed because of the problems he faced.

Buck understands the importance of defending oneself because in the harsh, cold, northern environment, there is no fairplay or justice. “Once down, that was the end of you.” (pg 23) Civility doesn’t prevail in the wilderness, and Buck learns to rely on his instincts as well as physical abilities to survive.

In the poem Making Sarah Cry and in the short story Don’t Give Up the Fight, there are many similarities and many differences. A common theme for both pieces could be perseverance because in Making Sarah Cry she perseveres through all the bullying and then stands up for the other little boy in the end. But in Don't Give Up the Fight, Ava stands up for herself and tells the principal that she was being picked on by Coach McCoy and Jacob. Clearly, both characters deal with their problems in different ways. This shows that the character’s actions were displayed differently.

The industrial revolution woke up the sense of humanity in people, yet at the same time It turned it off. To begin with, from the year 1819 through 1901, Great Britain was beginning to face an all new era called the Victorian Era. In fact, this era was named like that, because of queen Victoria. Also, this era was very important because it introduced medical advances, scientific knowledge, and technological knowledge that helped increase work efficiency. However, not all the things that occurred were great. One of the things that were very outrageous, were the working conditions of the employees. As a matter of fact, there were writers, like Charles Dickens with “A Christmas Carol”, Benjamin Disraeli with “Sybil”, and Elizabeth Gaskell with

In the novel of the Call of the Wild, Buck tried to adapt to his new and difficult life. He was forced to help the men find gold; he experienced a big transformation in him. At the end, he transformed into a new and different dog. Buck went through physical, mental and environmental changes. In my essay, I talked about how Buck was like at the beginning, what he changed into, and how he was forced to adapt his new environment, and underwent these changes.

As Jim Rohn once said, “It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future...it is what you do about what happens that counts.” Buck, the main character in the novel The Call of the Wild, is a victim of life 's many unexpected obstacles. From domesticated and tamed to wild and primitive, the transformation of Buck from beginning to end is a result of nature and nurture combined. Nature, his genetic makeup, proves to be the most dominant in his development of becoming a free creature of the wilderness. Throughout his journey, Buck benefits greatly from his physical structure, genetic memory, and natural instincts.
