The call of the wild

            In the Call of the Wild by Jack London, this book tells a story of an American husky. The
             American husky goes by the name of Buck, as he begins a long journey across the arctic. I am
             going to tell you about the characters, about the setting, and I am going to tell you about Buck's
             long journey's.
             To begin with, I will introduce you to the characters in the book. The main character in

             soon broken in by the man in the red sweater with the club. After being trained by the man in the
             red sweater Buck gets shipped off to two men so they can start their own journey across Alaska
             to find gold. Buck and some of his mates get stronger and stronger and grow better relationships
             with each other except for Spitz, the leader. Spitz challenges Buck in a fight where it's kill or be
