Perseverance In The Call Of The Wild

Perseverance Through The Idea of Possible Death The idea of possible death of family or friends can make your world come crashing down right before your eyes. In “The Call Of The Wild”, Buck’s life has changed and he now fears for the life of himself and his friends. Meanwhile, my grandmother’s world came crashing down in her life when she was told by doctors that her nine year-old daughter only had six months to a year to live. She had already lost two of her daughters ten years before which made this event even more dramatic. In contrast, Buck is different from my grandmother, but they were both filled with emotions and suffered serious pain. People and animals have to go through tough times in life, but everything will turn out to be okay
This event was very tough especially since she had lost two of her daughters ten years before when she fell down the stairs still pregnant with the twin girls named Rhonda and Vhonda.

My grandmother had to stay calm and not act worried around her daughter. She prayed to God every day to make everything better and with the support of family and friends everything would turn out to be okay. After a few hard months the doctors told her that the brain tumor
One similarity is when Dave had cancer and Jill had a harmful brain tumor. Dave could no longer pull the sled because of this so it made his life different. Jane’s life would be different now that she had to take care of her very ill daughter. Another similarity is that John Thornton helped Buck get through life when he was hurt and friends and family helped my grandmother to get through this tough time in her life. The final similarity between my grandmother and buck, although there is probably many more, is when the wolves on Charles’ and Mercedes’ team all died and when my grandmother was told that her nine year-old daughter only had six months to a year to live. Buck’s whole team died once they accidentally stepped on a frozen lake that gave away and they then fell through the ice and into the cold icy waters. Jane was told that her daughter had a serious and harmful brain tumor after many test and was told that she would only have six months to a year to live. Even though my grandmother and Buck are very different, they do have some
