Book Review 9

I read "The Call of the Wild" written by Jack London. In southern California, one dog named Buck lived for four years there. Buck had a lazy, pleasant life, but one day Manuel, who is Buck's owner's gardener, lost all his money, and Buck's life changed. Manuel wanted money, so he sold Buck to two men named Perrault and Francois. They took Buck on a train going north. Perrault and Francois are very bad men, they often hit Buck with the stick again and again. But Buck did not resistance for them, because he learned he could not win against the men, the stick and the rope. The men bought some new dogs, named Curly and Dave. Curly tried to make friends with one of other dogs, but the dogs attacked Curly, and in a few minutes later, Curly lay on the ground covered with blood. He was dead. Buck was frightened and sad, he didn't understand why the animals killed his friend. He got angry, but he knew he couldn't fight all the dogs at one time. In the north it is so cold, in winter that everything is covered with ice and snow. Buck and other dogs had to pull a large sledge, the men in there. They pulled the sledge all day. Buck wanted to live, so he thought he must become the strongest dog of all.
