《野性的呼唤》书评

After reading this exhilarating and extraordinary book, I am deeply moved by Buck, the remarkable hybridized dog. At the very beginning, Buck lived leisurely and comfortable life, he was a pampered pet dog with a high sense of self-esteem. With the gold rush approaching, Buck was abducted and obliged to start his own Westward Movement. He came across plentiful torment all along the way. His pride was badly wounded as well for he was taunted and laughted at. What deserves a special mention is a stout and fiendish man in a red sweater, who is a nightmare to Buck. That man beat dogs ferociously and used a club to tame Buck. However, Buck can be defeated but cannot be beaten. So when he was sold again to the chilling Yea Beach, he learned fast and won himself a high reputation. Just as Jack London put it:" His development (or retrogression) was rapid. His muscles became hard as iron, and he grew callous to all ordinary pain. He achieved an internal as well as external economy. He could eat anything, no matter how loathsome or indigestible; and, once eaten, the juices of his stomach extracted the last least particle of nutriment; and his blood carried it to the farthest reaches of his body, building it into the toughest and stoutest of tissues. Sight and scent became remarkably keen, while his hearing developed such acuteness that in his sleep he heard the faintest sound and knew whether it heralded peace or peril."Buck suffered a lot even after until he met John Thornton, a bold and kindhearted man. Buck was very attached to Thornton and bored great love to him. Buck was so loyal to John that he earned him lots of money and saved his life several times. Unfortunately, Thornton was murdered by the Yeehats. Buck was too furious to kill quite a few murderers and broke from bondage in the meantime. So he responded to the call of the wild which was rooted deeply in his heart. He returned to the wolves and became the leader of the pack, singing a song of the younger world. l really admire Buck for his adamancy and his attitude towards life. He constantly strive to be stronger and owns indestructible spirits. He never give up hope and adapt to any situation. Buck is really a inspiration to us all!
