In one of the book chapters, Buck and his group had to deal with extreme conditions and wrong caring. Even though some of his mates couldn´t do it, Buck was yet the strongest dog who wouldn´t give up. Buck was weak, really tired and the way the author describes it, almost dying. After many days, Buck and his mates would keep pulling a heavy slide without resting nor eating. The reason they didn't eat was because there was few food for such a big amount of dogs. The owners of course had no experience with dogs, so the poor dogs were mistreated without thye owners actually releasing it. One day, Buck just couldn´t do it anymore and fell down in exhaustion. One of the owners started to hit him for him to get up, but Buck couldn't. Buck was dying and he knew it, he wasn´t even able to feel the hitting of the club. Suddenly a man appeared and stood up for Buck. He defended him and stopped the owner from hitting him once more. That's when Buck realized that this could mean the starting of a new loving relationship with a human.
Since Spitz died, I thought Buck's life was going to be easier, but it is not. Spitz was only one of many other obstacles in Buck's adventure. After the big fight with his biggest enemy, Buck now has to deal with many other things. In one of the book chapters, Buck deals with extreme hunger and exhaustation because of the wrong caring of his new owners. Buck and the group get sick, weak, and extremely tired. Some dogs of the group actually died. Poor Buck now has to live in extreme torture with the wrong caring.
I´ve read until chapter 4. We can all agree now that Buck is the main character and the protagonist in the story. Buck has faced so many challenges that have helped him adapt to his new though life. One of this challenges is a dog named Spitz. Spitz seems to be the villain and trouble-maker in Buck's life. Before Buck became part of his new life with his dog and human companions, Spitz has always been the terrifying leader everyone is afraid of. Through the chapter, Spitz seems to notice how fast Buck is adapting to his new life and this seems to intimidate him. Since the beginning, Spitz has been bothering Buck and provoking him, but Buck ignores and avoids trouble with him. As time passes, Buck gets kind of tired of and annoyed by Spitz, and he starts having some fights with him. Buck starts to visualize himself as the new leader and his willing to achieve it. After some fights against Spitz, Buck and his dog companions start realizing that Spitz isn't as scary and intimidating as they thought. And this causes them all to join Buck and rebel against Spitz. In one of these fights, both, Spitz and Buck get seriously injured and at the end, Spitz is no longer an obstacle in Buck's life. |
