After reading “Jack‚ July‚” my initial impression was that the story was average and did not know why many people praised it. I did not like the story because the story was moving from one idea to the other without any real break in the character’s thought in between each scene. Victor Lodato also writes paragraphs that are trying to explain what happened in the scene or why it happened‚ but he writes it in a way that is dense and confusing to me‚ who is reading his work for the first time. He writes

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them‚ I shall use my time.” – Jack London 1876-1916 Jack London was a man

The setting of Jack London’s “War” is pivotal to the story’s plot and theme. “War’ follows the route of a military scout in the midst of war through rural lands.
