Call of the Wild Forum

Hello people!

Im from Denmark and I have to write an important paper about Jack Londons "Call of the wild".

In my paper I have to inlude historie and English and since the story is in English I have covered that part. But my problem is historie.
Do you have any idea how I can include historie with "Call of the Wild".
I was thinking about Americas finacial decrease or the gold rush.

If you have any ideas please write!!!!

Definitely include the gold rush.  Many people were heading to Alaska to get rich.  Sled dogs were in high demand, hence the value of an animal like Buck.  However, most of the gold rushers hadn't a clue how to survive in the Klondike.  Some were just out for money, and some were just too "soft" for the harsh winters.  So we see the betting on the sled dogs, and the hapless crew who die just after Thornton rescues Buck.

Also consider Native American and white relations.  The two groups were not getting along.  So after the NAs kill Thornton, Buck forever haunts them by killing as many as he can.

Can you perhaps tell me more about the Native American and white relations? because I havent read the book yet.

The reason why I have not read the book yet is because I have to tell my teachers everything I can about Jack London and Call of the Wild, so they can make a really good Problem Formulation (if you can call it that) for me, first then can I start reading and solving the task.
That means that I have to tell them everything I can about the gold rush and native white problems.

by the way thanks for the help!
