Do You Hear What I Hear?

Jack London's Call of the Wild is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. Jack London wrote so vividly, it is easy to relate what happens in the book to my life.

The main lesson I learned from reading this book is to always take a stand for myself. For example, Buck, the main character, gets dog napped. He is taken away to be a dog that runs routes to and from areas in the "Northland". He eventually attacks a man who he feels threatened by. I think young people today need to follow this example, in a way. When they feel that "the real them" is being compromised, they should figure out a solution. People should never lose the real them.

London also does an exquisite job of really allowing you to get to know the characters. My love for the characters makes me like the book even more. Spitz' fight for superiority, Buck's hunger for the wild, and Thorton's love for Buck make me absolutely crazy about this wonderful piece of literature.

I recommend reading all of Mr. London's books. Of all the books I have read, his are definitely the best. I am absolutely consumed and awed by his works. Are you, too, feeling the call to read Jack London's works?
