My favorite story we’ve read in class was The Call of the Wild. I liked this book because it talked about what the people and animals had to go thru and do in the Klondike gold rush. It had a thrilling theme and was full of shocking twists. The Call of the Wild also includes many abusive parts that made it hard to read. Another reason I like this book is it was filled with many adventurous parts that Buck endures. There was a hateful antagonist named Spitz and a cheerful protagonist named Buck
