By Jack LondonBuck struggles to adapt to his new life
The story is set in California during the Gold Rushes in 1897. People were selling sled dogs at very high prices. Buck, the protagonist, is a large dog who is kidnapped and sent to Canada to work as a husky dog. Prior to this Buck lead a comfortable life, after all the abduction Buck becomes wilder and free.
But Perrault and Francios Buck’s owners can’t look after the dogs anymore, so they sell them to two men who work for the Canadian Mail Company. The two men are very bad to the dogs; they don’t give them enough food and put to many things into the sledge. Eventually the dogs are too weak to pull the sledge, they are no use to the men anymore, so the men leave the dogs to suffer. Thornton a kind and generous man takes buck in and looks after him. Soon Buck is well enough to hunt and stay by himself.
I enjoyed this book because it is about a dog who adapts to his new life, and human beings can also do the same. I would recommend this book to someone else because it has a very good message the author is trying to tell you.
