He was beat in an effort to instill obedience into him. Soon after, Buck is sent to the Klondike region. Two mailmen, named Francois and Perrault, take him as their property. As Buck assimilates to his new sled-dog life, he develops a rivalry with Spitz, one of the lead dogs on his team. One day, Buck gets into a fierce encounter with Spitz, where Buck ends up killing Spitz, and subsequently, becomes the new leader of the team. Francois and Perrault, being inexperienced, force the dogs to carry much heavier loads, resulting in one dog becoming ill.

    Have you ever found a character, maybe in a tv show, or book, that you can relate to the most (especially by a landslide)? Some people could say yes to the moon and back, while some people have never related that much to a character in their life. For me, I’m more of the former, and I found a character to relate to in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; Scout Finch. To explain, Scout and I take longer than others to understand things, which could cause frustration in others (mainly peers), and we’re both put under at least some pressure to be more “lady-like”. There’s other similarities too, but they’re either not as significant or I couldn’t find as much quotes to support them.…
