Call Of The Wild Response Letter
Call of the Wild, By: Jack London

Dear Judge Miller,

Wow…it’s been quite awhile since I saw your warm smile. It’s been so long since “I sat by Judge Miller in the warm Santa Clara Valley sun”,-pg.2. It’s been so long since that fateful night when Manuel took me for a walk, I was foolish to trust any man that came across my path, but by trusting Manuel my whole life changed. “During the four years since his puppy hood he had lived the life of a sated aristocrat”,-pg.3 I was plunged into a world that severely changed me where the dog was not superior. I lived such a pampered leisurely life; I was not a true dog when I think back I had everything easy, I didn’t have to hunt for food or work until my whole body ached, but here

    On page 83, there is a black and white picture of a pitbull, which is standing on what looks like mountain. This dog is standing on all fours and is standing with very tall posture. It has glasses, which are round and rustic looking, a leather collar, with spikes on it, and a pipe. This dog’s name is Addison, and he can talk. In the book, he is an a sophisticated dog, who gets scared easily . I asked a few people what they thought this dog’s personality was, and Nick said right away that it looked like an alcoholic, because of its pipe and breed. Tony said Addison looked very stuck up, which is also pretty true. FIND DIALOGUE ABOUT…

    “To Flush, My Dog” written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and the RSPCA leaflet “ Just $3 a month will help rescue more animals like Trio” are two documents exploring the same topic - treatment of dogs. Both documents depict how the owners treat their dogs differently showing the love and bond between dogs and humans. In “To Flush, My Dog”, Elizabeth appraises her dog in a very elaborated manner, while RSPCA documents look at animals from another perspective. Though the theme is the same, the aim of writing is very different. Elizabeth’s love for her dog is contrasted with the maltreatment by some owners whose dogs are subsequently rescued by RSPCA. Similarities, differences and impacts of such treatments will be discussed.…

    Into The Wild Response

    Henry David Thoreau once said, “rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as ice.” Wealth, fame, and love doesn’t give real happiness; one should choose truth to get peace in life. In the book Into The Wild, author John Krakauer tells the story about Chris McCandless, who chose truth instead of leisure. Despite a series of poor decisions which ultimately led to his death, Chris McCandless strove to live to a higher principle, embracing transcendental ideology and living the words of Henry David Thoreau. Throught the way he rejected…

    Alma laughed for the first time today. She clapped her hands, and the half-grown red, brown dog came leaping out of the brush beside her. She laughed even more as it jumped into her arms, like some little trick doggy. She petted it, let it lick at her chin, before pushing him down. “Naw, he comes from a long line of coon hounds, even if he is red and untrainable now. Pa wanted to kill him last week, when he ripped his pants.”…

    "The average dog is a nicer person than the average person." This was said by Andy Rooney. Andy Rooney is a very, very wise man. He adopted a dog from an humane society once, just like I did. The animal shelter I got my dog from was called Humane Society Of West Michigan. The Humane Society Of West Michigan was very neat and orderly. It smelled like sanitizer and bleach mixed together. Past the main lobby there was a wide hallway you go through to get to the crowded room where they keep all the dogs. Inside this spacious room were kennels that had between 2 and 4 dogs in them. A couple of them only had 1 lonely dogs in them. This made me feel happy and sad being…

    It saddened me to hear that a few months ago a bill to assist veterans in finding jobs, in which their military skills would be utilized, was voted down in Senate. Sponsored by Senator Patty Murray, "Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012", was thought to be a sure pass. The vote was 58-40; only 2 more votes were needed to pass this bill. This bill was effectively killed on the Senate floor by the Republican party on September, 19, 2012. The "Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012" was meant to tackle feelings of uselessness by giving our overqualified heroes an opportunity to work in fields appropriate to their abilities (For example police, firemen, armed security, etc.).…

    I was never a dog lover. My kids always wanted a dog. I dug my heels in but eventually, they wore me down with chorus’ of “please can we get a dog?” Begrudgingly, I began looking for a dog. It was to be a Christmas present for my kids, an older dog, a trained dog. I knew that I did not have the patience for training and I knew that when kids say they will help; I knew exactly what that meant.…

    “You’re 18 years old, now move out.” For some teenagers coming of age, this is one of the first things they hear after blowing out candles on there birthday. But is 18 years old to young? I had to make a choice, either move out as soon as possible after finally being able to buy lighters, or stay home for a while and go to college. In the article “Generation Debt” by Anya Kamenetz, the author states that “...five milestones of maturity are: leaving home, finishing school, becoming financially independent, getting married, and having a child” (Kamenetz 148). So as an 18 year old, looking at this list of achievable goals, I have to choose the best possible path for helping me complete everything. I think staying home, living with mom and pop or whoever it is, is the best decision to can make while you’re trying to complete your schooling. If a student has to worry about focusing on paying the bills while trying to focus on what they should do for homework every night, life could get in the way of school. Money doesn’t come easy, and in a tough economy like ours, it’s difficult for someone fresh out of high school to jump on the work force train while trying to focus on getting a better education to possibly help them further themselves in the future. Students should focus on their schooling before everything else, it’s what will help in the future so they can achieve the “five milestones of maturity” previously stated. Staying home for college students is better simply because they will be able to save more not having to pay for living, and will allow for students to focus on themselves and find out what they actually want to do with there life.…

    It was 6:09am in Bahrain. I watched as the large glowing sphere rose slowly into the dull morning sky. Casting sunbeams in every direction while it illuminated the small town. I stared out the glass panes in my room as the colours made by the rising sun changed, growing more vivid with the passing time. Making the sky more radiant as it climbed higher and higher into the sky. But as beautiful as the morning was I knew today would be horrible. I walk out of my small but dainty room and there to meet me by my door is my two beautiful German Sheppard’s that you will ever meet. Their long fluffy brown tails wagging uncontrollably followed by their perfectly pink tongue sticking out, trying to lick you like you’re a deliciously new lollipop. I walked through the house for one last time, dogs down by my side, taking in the smell of freshly picked flowers and remembering all the memories and knowing that this was the place where I belonged.…

    You were a surprise. A big yellow furball of love and licks. I had no idea you were going to be waiting for me in the backyard of my house when I arrived home considering our other puppy had just passed away. I had been at camp that following week and had come home to a four legged baby that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. You were so cute as you stood there staring at me. I knew you were mine the second I saw you. I was so excited that tears ran down my face and I called your name. I watched as you ran to me. Your fat rolls flapping in the wind as you ran to me and stained my brand new white jeans with your monstrous muddy paws. I didn’t care. Your soft baby fur was so velvety soft, your pink little nose wet with drool and your…
