question and answer from the call of the wild
Answers
Answer:
can u write the question properly
In Chapter 1 of The Call of the Wild, why does Jack London emphasize that Buck is not a pampered dog?
Jack London writes that Buck is not pampered because that makes Buck's transition to a sled dog more believable. The narrator states that Buck's outdoor activities at the estate "kept the fat down and hardened his muscles." For Buck to endure all the hardships he will face, he must be in good condition to begin with. Later, the author writes that most dogs from the Southland don't survive life in the North because they are soft: "They were all too soft, dying under the toil, the frost, and starvation." No matter how intelligent and imaginative Buck is, he could never survive in the Northland if he starts out soft and pampered.
Buck
Civilization versus the Wild
In Chapter 1 of The Call of the Wild, for what different reasons do Buck and the man in the red sweater use violence?
Buck's use of violence is based on passion and anger. After he is captured, Buck is outraged about his treatment, so he bites the man who places him in a crate and repeatedly charges the man in the red sweater. Buck's violence, though, serves no practical purpose. He just wants to get revenge on his oppressors. In contrast, the man in the red sweater uses violence for entirely practical reasons. He is paid to break and discipline dogs, and he knows Buck must learn the law of the club to be an effective sled dog and to survive in the North. The man's use of violence is based on reason rather than passion or anger.

Law and Order
In Chapter 1 of The Call of the Wild, how is Buck's response to the man in the red sweater different from the way other dogs relate to the man?
Buck deals with the man in the red sweater by using reason. Buck figures out he must obey this man to survive, but he doesn't have to act friendly toward him. Thus, Buck preserves his independent spirit even as he admits defeat: "He was beaten (he knew that); but he was not broken." Other dogs relate to the man in the red sweater on a more emotional level. Many of these dogs become servile lackeys, acting friendly to the man so he will stop beating them. However, one dog refuses to control his anger; as a result, he is beaten to death.
