" He sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack." (Chapter VII The Sounding of the Wild) When the last sentence vanished from my eyes, I can still perceive an echo of a song - a wild song, which knocks up my dizzy mind that always cheerfully sink into the so-called civilized world without questioning. Wild, is no longer a symbol of the law of jungle but a headspring where streams out love, passion, bravery, loyalty, friendship, venture, competition and tolerance all these virtues can easily be found in the Call of the Wild.
Jack London (1876-1916) is a worldwide renowned novelist. His stories successfully reflect the contradictory views of man’s nature and destiny in and against the wild, and his "fight to survive" notion has gained him and his works timeless popularity, particularly, the Call of the Wild
It tells a story of a gigantic dog, named Buck, who
is stolen from a rich and comfortable home and forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog. Buck, at first, is too savage for the company of man until he coincidently encounters his beloved master-kindhearted John Thornton. Finally, John’s incidental death breaks Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into his long-desired wild with his pack. In the story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild. When it comes to Buck’s mind that one day he will eventually leave John- his master, all he wants to do is just to help him finish the gold-rush-trip. He " from then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of flight, did not to stay him (John)…" (Chapter VII The Sounding of The Wild) Buck wished to remember John’s image forever, he "for two days and nights never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight. He followed him about at his work, watched him while saw him into blankets at night and out of them in the morning…" (Chapter VII) When I read these words I just could not hold my tears bursting. Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way?
On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man. He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man. Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death. I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but what I know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.
It is Jack London who plunges me into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city. There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life. Dare we imagine that London intentionally employs Buck to set us a model with perfect characters (count barbarity out)? The answer is affirmed. We, as animals, are from the wild but shedding off more and more wild signs, which demonstrate us as the "uncivilized". However, who can fully guarantee that we have not overlooked some essential wild-endowed virtues? Especially, nowadays, it seems more crucial
for us to stop looking at the post-industrialized world and to ponder for a while. When cheats, betrayals, lies, lusts and crimes stuff a materialized society, whether London uses this novel to help himself escape the reality or warn the earthy people, to us, modern man, is all the same. It appears horrible that in modern society many people are enthusiastically talking about how to build up "special relations" to the authority, deceiving and lying to each other. To them life is a mask-wearing process rather than a hard work. Every time, you browse WebPages, scandals in politics, business, the entertainment circle and even on campus crowd into your eyes. Oh, what is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? Are we wasting talents given by the mighty nature? Be an honest, straightforward, warmhearted, emotional and responsible man or be a shrewd, cold hearted and astute hypocrite? While embracing the "civilized" rubbish, we are losing those good virtues, which are the calls of the wild. Once we
lose them, we are to lose ourselves, and we will get nowhere. I wish this dreadful thought is totally a fallacy, but, now, it is chilling me hard. One day when I happen to stand on the top of a grand mountain to observe a boundless prairie enveloped by the sapphire firmament and combed by gusts of the rhythmical west wind, a morning sun sprinkles me her warmth and brilliance in a graceful way, however, at that moment, I am afraid that I cannot appreciate these beauties, I am a lost " civilized man" then.
Please, please do not let come true while we are still able to answer the call of the wild.
The story sounds like just a dog tale at first--a dog, Buck, is kidnapped from his comfortable life in California and sold as a sled dog for the Alaskan gold rush. While he endures the wilderness and the other dogs, Buck learns that survival comes only with tooth and fang. This lesson brings him very close to his forbears, the wolves.
If you look deeper, Call of the Wild is as much a story of humans as it is a dog tale. Buck encounters various incompetent masters who try to break his spirit.
Are we like this? But Buck also learns to trust a master who is gentle and gives love. We can be like this, too.
Call of the Wild is not a story for the squeamish or very young. By involving us in the characters' lives, Jack London tells the truth. It is a life-and-death war between the harsh land and the soul every day. There is blood, death, cruelty--but it's the truth.
At the beginning of this century, many new writers emerged with the introduction of many new ideas. Among them, Jack London was the most popular one.
His most famous novel is the call of the wild . Although it is a story about a dog, Buck, it vividly depicts the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune.
Buck, used to belong to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North. Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled . In the days of pulling a snow-sled, he learned to conform to the law of nature and obey the master. Finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the tough environment. This is the call of the wild.
When you read the story, you will feel that Buck
is a man instead of a dog, struggling with his fortune and conforming to the law of nature.
Though short, it is really a thrilling story. What you never forget is the tough life in the nature, the brave and crafty dog. Maybe the wild is calling you to go ahead.
While writing for only 16 years throughout his life, London produced an amazing body of work among which, White Fang, Martin Eden, the Valley of the Moon are representative.

《荒野的呼唤》读后感范文300字 虽说我读的是《野性的呼唤》的英文版，可是从中还是让我懂得了许多的道理…… 《野性的呼唤》是作者杰克·伦敦于1903年发表的小说，小说讲的是一个名叫巴克的杂交狗，因那时的淘金热，所以从南方被卖到了北方去。巴克为了在北方严峻的环境下生存下去，经过几番周折成为了一条拉雪橇的苦役狗，一路上巴克换了几个主人，最后和桑顿结下了深厚的亲情和友情，后来巴克的主人桑顿被印第安人不幸射中胸部而死，从此巴克走向了荒野，到了最后巴克成为了狼群之首。 从巴克一路走来的过程中，让我们知道了：在自然环境下“只有适者，才能生存”的道理。让我们也知道，巴克是一个坚韧不拔，富有抗争精神，勇猛强壮，适应能力强，它对新生活的向往，富有人情的狗。也能从中感受到巴克与它最后一个主人的感情是超乎所有人与狗的情感。 《野性的呼唤》让我感受到了很多很多…… 单从名字来看，这就是一本充满原始野性的书。事实也的确如此。 这本书描述了一只在南方土生土长的家犬从温顺的宠物到凶猛的野兽的蜕变。 它叫巴克。
巴克是大法官米勒的狗，其它狗和它比起来都豪不起眼，由于当时有许多人去北方淘金，一只优秀的雪橇就显得尤为重要，于是它被工人曼纽尔偷偷卖掉了。 狗的祖先是狼，但到了巴克这一代，它们与生俱来的野性已经被温暖的炉火和上好的狗粮消磨掉了。 在冰天雪地的北方，它身上的野性在渐渐苏醒，巴克现在像足了一条爱斯基摩犬，也可以说像……像狼。 巴克是条十分优秀的领头犬，它几经易主，最后在死亡线上被一个叫桑顿的男人救了回来，这决定了巴克对他的忠诚。 它可以为了桑顿一个微不足道的指令义无反顾的跳下悬崖，也可以冒着生命危险救主，这使它名声大噪。 在一次意外中，桑顿和他的朋友被爱斯基摩人杀死，它得知后勃然大怒，追了几十公里，咬死了大多数爱斯基摩人。 它加入了狼群，成了头狼。也许，这对它而言，是最好的归宿。 这本书主要讲了一只狗――巴克从家犬到狼群首领的故事。巴克是一位磨坊主兼法官米勒先生的家犬，它的体重足有六十千克重，每天和米勒先生的孙子和孙女嬉戏玩耍。巴克的父亲是一只圣伯纳德狗，母亲是芬兰牧羊犬。巴克有它父亲的王者风度和高大身材，也有它母亲的细腻、机警，它让它无比骄傲。 一次，园丁助手把巴克领到火车站，结果被卖了，巴克斗不过陌生人，只好服从。后来，巴克又被一个人买走了，人家带它和其它狗的目的是要去淘金，巴克先学会了拉雪橇，后来又与一条狗决斗当

多么惊心动魄的一刻啊！想想他们，在危险的情况下，他们头脑清醒，用智慧战胜了困难。那我呢？我从小到大都很胆小，而且在困难来临的时候没有勇气去面对、去战胜它。而《海底两万里》给了我一些勇气，我应该学习他们的那种不畏艰险的精神！《海底两万里》虽然只是一本冒险小说，但它却给了我许多的勇气，它让我勇敢地去面对现实，不能胆小怕事！ 《假如给我三天光明》 当我翻开《假如给我三天光明》，我心里是三分惊喜七分好奇。然而当我翻完这本书中每珍贵的一页，我心中是汹涌彭湃的，又是惆怅万千的。它带给我的是惊讶，是感动，更是一种强大的精神力量震撼着我。在整整的87年无光、无声、无语的孤独岁月里，竟磨练出一个如此勇敢、坚强，有着顽强的求生意志的非凡女子。对于一个常人来说，三天 也就是72个小时，能办成的事根本就寥寥无几。但是对于海伦来说，三天似三十年。如果她能拥有三天的光明，她的心里又会有多么满足，多么快乐. 读《命运》有感 前阵子在书城买了本书，叫《滴水藏海》，里边有300个经典的哲理故事。现在我来品味一篇小故事，叫《命运》。《命运》讲的是连个孩子的命运，一个被高僧占卜为“状元”，另一个为“乞丐”。二十年后，当初的“状元”成了乞丐，而“乞

1 J ack London was born in San Francisco on January 12, 1876, the illegitimate son of Flora Wellman, the rebellious daughter of an aristocratic family, and William Chaney, a traveling astrologer who abandoned Flora when she became pregnant. Eight months after her son was born, Flora married John London, a grocer and Civil War veteran whose last name the infant took. London grew up in Oakland, and his family was mired in poverty throughout his youth. He remained in school only through the eighth grade but was a voracious reader and a frequent visitor to the Oakland Public Library, where he went about edu-cating himself and laying the groundwork for his impending literary career. In his adolescent years, London led a rough life, spending time as a pirate in San Francisco Bay, traveling the Far East on sealing expeditions, and making his way across America as a tramp. Finally, temporarily tired of adventure, London returned to Oakland and graduated from high school. He was even admitted to the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed only for a semester. The Klondike gold rush (in Canada’s Y ukon Territory) had begun, and in 1897 London left college to seek his fortune in the snowy North. The gold rush did not make London rich, but it furnished him with plenty of material for his career as a writer, which began in the late 1890s and continued until his death in 1916. He worked as a reporter, covering the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 and the Mexican Revolution in the 1910s; meanwhile, he published ov er fifty books and became, at the time, America’s most famous author. For a while, he was one of the most widely read authors in the world. He embodied, it was said, the spirit of the American West, and his portrayal of adventure and frontier life seemed like a breath of fresh air in comparison with nineteenth-century V ictorian fiction, which was often overly concerned with what had begun to seem like trivial and irrelevant social norms. The Call of the Wild, published in 1903, remains London’s most famous work, blending his experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness with his ideas about nature and the struggle for existence. He drew these ideas from various influential figures, including Charles Darwin, an English naturalist credited with -developing theories about biological evolution, and Friedrich Nietzsche, a prominent German philosopher. Although The Call of the Wild is first and foremost a story about a dog, it displays a -philosophical depth absent in most animal adventures. London was married twice—once in 1900, to his math tutor and friend Bess Maddern, and again in 1905, to his secretary Charmian Kittredge, whom he considered his true love. As his works soared in popularity, he became a contradictory figure, arguing for socialist principles and women’s rights even as he himself lived a materialist life of luxury, sailing the world in his boat, the Snark, and running a large ranch in northern California. Meanwhile, he preached -equality and the brotherhood of man, even as novels like The Call of the Wild celebrated violence, power, and brute force. London died young, on November 22, 1916. He had been plagued by stomach problems and failing kidneys for years, but many have suggested that his death was a suicide. Whatever the cause, it is clear that London, who played the various roles of journalist, novelist, prospector, sailor, pirate, husband, and father, lived life to the fullest. 1
【英文读后感】英语读后感200字左右 看一会儿夜空，你可能会看到一颗红星。它有耀眼的颜色。 人们称它为“火星”.在太阳系中，在第三颗行星之外，第四颗是“火星”。 这是一颗离地球很远的行星，平均大约2亿公里。太迷人了，许多科学家和人们都想去那里。是的，距离给景色增添了魅力探索空间并不像你想象的那么容易。这超出了你的想象。科学家们仍然为探索太空做出巨大贡献，他们也取得了很好的成果。 空间探索正在成功开展。仅在几年时间里，科学家们在这个项目上取得了巨大的进展。在过去的五十年里，人们已经向未知的宇宙和行星发射了许多探测器。然而，大多数都以失败告终。 这些探测器仍然帮助科学家和人们更多地了解这门科学。他们第一次向火星发射探测器是在20世纪60年代。从那时起，美国和苏联这两个超级国家开始了探索火星的竞赛。他们从未停止向火星发射探测器。即使三分之二的人失败了。然而，这并没有阻止我们探索太空。距离不应该成为探索太空的障碍。xx开始时 .nasa向火星发射了两个探测器，两个探测器都安全着陆。他们向地球发送了许多有用的信息。这真是令人兴奋的消息！在此之前，欧洲发射的探测器在宇宙中消失了。 这对科学界来说是一个震惊，但他们永远不会放弃.事实上，向太空发射这么多探测器的目的是为了找到一颗有生命和基本元素的行星——水.
月球离地球很远，但它是离地球最近的恒星。自从远古以来，直到1969年美国宇航员登上月球，人们一直对月球着迷。他们发现月球只是一颗卫星，没有水、空气、大气和生命，所以人们对月球的幻想破灭了。 月亮是一个真正的“宽冷宫”，它也有非常糟糕的天气，晚上非常冷，白天非常热。月球上没有东西可以生存.当宇航员登上月球时，距离好像从38万公里降到了零公里。所有关于月球的美丽幻想和传说都被打破了，所以人们现在把目光瞄准了火星。他们希望有一天宇航员能登上火星，实现我们的新梦想既然我们知道月球的真相，它对我们来说就不那么诱人了。但是关于月亮的诗仍然能给我们一些向往。将太空旅行的开始与今天探索太空相比较。 今天探索太空更有用。许多人喜欢火星，因为在太阳系的九大行星中，它与地球最相似，所以我们称它们为“兄弟行星”。在火星上，有一层薄薄的大气层和一些氧气。探测器发现曾经有水存在。由于重力低，水全部流入太空。对太空的探索不仅帮助我们更多地了解未知的太空，还告诉我们一条通向新科学的道路，或许还有一个家园。换句话说，人们可能会实现住在另一个星球上的梦想尽管我们现在很了解月亮，但它在古代有许多动人的传说。嫦娥是一个吃了仙丹后飞向月亮的美女，她和一只玉兔住在“御寒宫”里。舞钢总是在月亮上砍倒桂花树作为惩罚。虽然这些传说不是真的，但我们仍然可以把它们储存在我们的记忆中。原因是地球正遭受许多麻烦。这些问题包括:全球变暖、空气污染、水污染、人口快速增长、土壤退化和自然资源减
Study on the Causes of Buck’s Returning the Wild 摘要：本文运用马克思主义辩证关系原理，科学地探索了巴克回归自然的内因和外因，并对人类进行了深刻的反思。淘金热是巴克转变的一个间接原因，也是一个大背景。巴克凭着先天优势在残酷的不断变化的环境中，学得了重要的生存法则，即“适者生存”。由此发现，虽然外部环境在不断变化，但巴克凭着自己的能力掌握规律，以另一种方式生存。这表明外因在一定程度上影响了事物的发展，而事物的发展是由内因决定的。 关键字：内因;外因；生存法则；适应能力。 Abstract: On the basis of Marxist dialectic, this passage makes a study on the internal and external causes of buck’s returning to the wild, and makes a reflection of human beings as well. Prevailing phenomenon of seeking gold is an indirect cause as well as a big backdrop of the time. Buck, learning against his superior advantages, learned a critical law of existence, that is, survival of the fittest. In this sense, in spite of the various environments, Buck mastered the law against his own adaptability and led a different way of life. That indicates the external causes have an effect on the development of things, while it is the internal cause that decides the final implementation of things. Key words: external causes; internal causes; law of existence; adaptability 1.Introduction: The call of the wild, one of the representative works, written by Jack London, reveal many realities and truths that deserve ponder and study. On the ground of Marxist dialectic, we choose to the causes, internal and external, that push Buck to return to the wild. Any implementation of phenomenon is formed by the combined effect of internal and external causes, thus, to know the process and results of development in things, finding out the reasons is necessary. At the same time, thoughts should not be confined in things themselves, but touch the lessons and experience hiding in the development of things, that is, in the call of the wild, we should see the illumination from Buck’s shift of life, and make self-reflection. In this sense, reflection on human beings being the third part of this passage, apart from external causes and internal causes. 2.External Causes 2.1 The Found of Yellow Metal It is a direct reason that leads to Buck′s hardship. It is the found of gold that increase the demand for dogs of strong muscle and long hair, which can according make them pull sled protect them from frost. Also it is the found that offers Manuel, one of the gardener′s helpers an opportunity to reduce his debt, that is to sell Buck. Buck was betrayed and forced to begin his shift of life. 2.2.The Big Contrast in Living Conditions Buck had lived the sun-kissed santé clara valley，where was beautiful and peaceful. “It stood back from the road, half-hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran round its four sides. The house was approached by graveled drive ways which wound about through wide spreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. At

It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me. I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

Chapter 7: The Sounding of the Call Summary John Thornton pays off his debts with money he earns from the bet, and he sets off to the east to find a fabled lost mine that is supposed to make a man rich. Together with his other dogs and his friends Pete and Hans, he and Buck wander in the wilderness, hunting and fishing and living off the land, until they reach a shallow place in a valley full of gold. The men earn thousands of dollars a day panning for gold, and the dogs have nothing to do. Buck begins to feel wild yearnings. One night, he springs up from sleep with a start, hearing a call from the forest. He dashes through the woods and finds a timber wolf, one-third his size. Buck begins to circle the wolf and make friendly advances, but the wolf is afraid. Finally, the two show their friendship by sniffing noses, and the wolf leads Buck away through the forest. They stop to drink, and Buck remembers John Thornton. The wolf encourages him to keep following, but Buck starts back toward the camp. When he arrives, Thornton is eating dinner, and Buck showers him with affection. For two days, he never allows Thornton out of his sight. Then, he hears the call more loudly than ever and is haunted by recollections of his wild friend. He begins to stay away from the camp for days at a time, hunting his own food. Buck has two identities at this point: one as sled dog in Thornton’s camp, another as wild hunter in the forest. He kills a bear and fishes for salmon the river; when the moose come in the fall, Buck hunts them eagerly. He cuts a bull away from the pack to kill him and finally brings him down after four days. Then he heads back to the camp. On the way, he feels a strange stirring in the wilderness, of something new abroad, and he feels a premonition of calami ty. His feeling is proven correct when he finds Thornton’s dog Nig and one of the dogs bought in Dawson, both dying on the trail. As he approaches the camp, he sees Hans lying facedown, arrows covering him. He peers out to where the lodge had been and sees Yeehat Indians dancing in the wreckage. Buck charges, cutting their throats with his fangs and killing several of them. The Indians scatter, and Buck finds the rest of his camp, including Thornton, dead. Buck mourns his dead master but feels pride at having killed the Yeehats. Henceforth, he will not fear men unless they carry weapons. He hears the call of the wolf again. His ties to Thornton broken by death, he heads off to follow it. He finds the pack, and one wolf lunges for his throat, but he breaks its neck easily. Three others try but pull back. After half an hour they all draw back, and one of them approaches Buck in a friendly manner. Buck recognizes him to be the wolf he encountered in the woods. Buck joins the wolf pack, and the Yeehats notice a difference in the local breed of timber wolves as years pass. They also tell of a Ghost Dog that runs at the front of the pack, singing songs and leaping above his fellows. They tell of a haunted valley—where Thornton lies dead—where an evil spirit dwells, and where, every year, Buck comes and mourns for a time beside the stream before loping away to rejoin the pack.
