'THE CALL OF THE WILD'

The book main character is a big dog. The period is in 1897. The year, some people need dogs to look for gold. His name is Buck. He lived in California. It is warm and comfortable place. One day, he was stolen and then story is beginning. He was taken north places. That time, he saw snow for the first time. When he resisted someone, he was hit with a club many times. They were stolen. In the north area, he pulls a sledge with others. It was hard work for him, but he got used to do it. He is getting stronger. He sometimes fought dogs to be leader.By fighting, disease, or injured, some dogs died. His owner changed some times. When the third is the worst, he was hit a whip. But he met an owner, he didn’t hit him and he fed enough food. He became famous, because he heped the owner three times and he had faith in the owner. But one day, his friends, his dogs and he were killed like native people. Buck survived, but he got mad. And he found them and he killed some of them. He encountered wolf’s pack, but he was stronger than wolves. Then he and wolves became friends. Some woleves have golden hair. Native people call them Ghost Dog. The dog can meet wolves, so it is not always alone.

 I think the dog is poor. If it was not stolen, it could spend normal life. I think pulling sledge is hard work. Also, it is too cold wheather. I don’t like it too. I know dogs are faithful. So, it would help an owner. Before, I had a dog. When it died, I was very sad. I know dogsledge, but I didn’t know it is severe. Dogs often fight to prove strong and to be the leader. Buck became an excellent leader. I think it is good. I felt sad when injured and got disease dogs were killed with a gun. So, I think just strong dogs can be alive. When the dog met last owner, he could know love. The first owner of Calfornia didn’t give love to it. I’m not sure it was really happy, but I think it could know loves. That is good. But he and others were killed, I thought it can live mild days. So, it was pity. It went back to wild. It is probably not alone. It couldn’t live with human. He would live in wild, because he is not alone. I like this story but I think ending is a little sad. Surely, he would be free.

  1. Takuya, this is a great summary of Buck's story! Good job!

    In your writing, be careful about mixing tenses and using sentences that are too short. :)
