        <description><![CDATA[John Thornton claimed that Buck would risk his own life on John Thornton's demand. He demonstrated this when John signaled to Buck to jump into the river. By doing so, Buck risked his own life. Buck so loved and trusted Thornton, that he knew that his master would never ask him to do anything he wasn't capable of doing.
On another occasion, John Thornton bet money that Buck could pull a sled weighing one thousand pounds. On his command, Buck...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Scotch half breed treats the sled dogs fairly even though he pushes them extremely hard. He comes into Buck's life after Francois and Perrault depart the story. The author may have purposely unnamed this character to add to the idea that Buck's time with him was characterized as "business-like." Buck did the work. That's all there was for him to do. No time to become emotionally involved with his owner. In a sense, this experience served...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On December 29, 1890, the infamous Massacre at Wounded Knee occurred.  Three hundred sixty-five U.S. troops surrounded an encampment of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee, South Dakota.  The Indians were told to disarm themselves and, as the last Sioux to do so, they began to comply.  However, one warrior who was deaf did not turn over his rifle;consequently, the scuffle over Black Coyote's rifle escalated into a full-blown battle. Those Sioux...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In line with the previous posts, I believe that offering up some level of clarification as to what in London's work is being compared and contrasted might assist greatly.  There is much in the work that can be compared and contrasted.  As previously suggested, Buck as a character can be compared and contrasted in terms of how he is at the start of the work and how he is at the end of it.  Another level of comparison and contrast might lie...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It would, indeed, be helpful to the editors if you had indicated the two sides of your comparison/contrast "piece."  If, for instance, you are comparing and contrasting the man's survival knowledge with the dog's survival instincts, you may first wish to line up the ways in which they are alike as well as the differences.  Also helpful is the use of a Venn diagram in which you draw overlapping circles beside each other.  In the areas in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are several ways in which you can write compare/contrast papers. Probably the best place to start is to think about a topic or theme that you would like to trace in the two works. After this, create a thesis statement.
Let me give you an example. If you are comparing and contrasting Lucretius and Vergil, two Roman poets, you may want to compare and contrast their views on religion. In this case, you will try to find what Lucretius and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[They were very lethargic after the long snow hike to Skagway and they had exhausted their energy in the process of doing so. They were suffering from tiredness and fatigue, and some of the sled dogs had also sustained cuts and bruises, adding to the injury toll. Dave, the sled dog, was getting too old and was terribly tired and fatigued and so during one of the arduous journey towards Skagway, he had fainted and collapsed onto the ground, and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Buck has an undeniable love for Thornton.  I think this is evident in the fact that he helps Thornton win the bet and learns to trust humans again through the love demonstrated by Thornton for Buck.  After being mistreated and abused as a means to an end, Buck finally finds some level of comfort and care within Thornton's affection.  When he dies, there is little left for Buck, causing him to sever all ties with humanity except for the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Buck creates a "mutiny" by first building credibilty amongst the other dogs (and his masters). He proves himself to be a leader for the good of the group, not simply for selfish purposes. The other dogs recogize this in him. Once Spitz (the antithesis of the type of leader Buck becomes/is) is defeated by Buck, the other dogs accept Buck's ascension to the leadership position.
As the story progresses, the stage is set for a positive leader to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Buck has a recurring dream of his distant ancestors. Namely, those animals who came before him and lived side by side with primitive man. These dreams become more prominent and vivid as the story progresses indicating Buck's transformation back into a more wild creature. Initially, Buck doesn't necessarily know what to make of the dream. It causes him restlessness. Eventually, he "acts" upon the dream, heeding the "Call of the Wild," and going...]]></description>
