Chapter 4 was a tough read. Francois and Perrault sold the team and Dave died. How are the dogs treated by the Scotch half-breed that now owns them and how is that different than when Francois and Perrault had the dogs? Did you like one of the sets of owners more than the other?

First Reflections

2 Questions to think about for Chapters 1-3:

1) The story is mainly told from Buck's point of view. How does this influence how you feel about Buck? How would the story change if it was told from the dog trainer's point of view?

2)What trait insures that Buck will survive in the Northland? How would this trait be accepted in the Southland, at Judge Miller's farm?

Welcome! July 13th, 2009

Last week, we started to read Jack London's Call of the Wild. Even though the novel was written in 1903, we have been breaking apart the language that London uses as we read.

In Barbara's group, we started by looking at different photos of dogs before reading through Chapter 1, 'Into the Primitive.'

In Yliana's group, we started talking about the different locations in the novel before reading Chapter 1.
