Introduction
Jack London was born on January 12, 1876 as a child out of wedlock across the bay in Oakland, California. London grew up in extreme poverty and had really rich life experience which were rarely experienced by other writers in the world. The Call of the Wild brought London worldwide fame, which was combined with his experience in the north when he was engaged in looking for gold. This novel gives excellent expression to the naturalistic writing style, and it expounds the dual influence of genetic and environmental on the survival of animals. What’s more, the author gives a clear understanding of the survival of human society on the 19th centry in America.
To some readers, the call of the wild means a liberation from sufferings from the civilized society and Buck appears as a super hero who gained powerful strength by going through trails and tribulations which the environment endowed him. To other readers, Buck was blamed for his losing his elegance which the civilized society has taught him. . Chinese scholars began to study、translate and recommend Jack London’s works from 1920s and it came to a climax in the 1930s. As for the research of his most famous work The Call of the Wild, I collected some informations in recent years. It has probably experienced the following two periods:the inherit and summarize period from 1997 to 1999. During this period, many scholars made great effort on teasing out predecessors’ research, and most of them took a overview of the social and historical criticism on The Call of the Wild. Another is the Interpretation of methodology period from 2000 to 2007. Unlike the previous study, an comprehensive analysis method was applied, many aspects were involved in the analysis of this great novel such as spirit、ecology、narratology and structuralism(Cai Qian 2009:025)
Looking back on Buck’s experience in the Call of the Wild, the nature of it is undoubtedly complicated. It embodies the affections and quality of human beings, the superman philosophy, naturalism and socialism. What’s more, it gave a
perfect expression to the survival of the fittest theory.This thesis is intended to analysis Buck’s complicated characters which can help us to study the social reality and today’s human nature further. Besides, Buck’s legendary experience can teach us a lot on how to be anticipated by new surroundings.
Chapter 1
An overall introduction about Buck’s story
Life is like an ancient song which contains both happiness and sufferings. It is a long road for Buck’s changing from a house dog into a king of the wild.
1.1 acting as a house dog of Judge Miller
Born with a honorable bloodline, Buck bid fair to follow in the way of his father to be Judge Miller’s inseparable companion for four years. Unlike other dogs who resided in the populous kennels or lived obscurely in the recesses of the house, Buck had the privilege of laying at Judge Miller’s feet before the roaring library fire, lingering around the garden leisurely or taking adventures in the outdoors.Everything seemed to be so sweet at that time.
1.2 acting as a sledge dog
Sometimes, God likes to play tricks on someone’s fate just like a naughty child, it is because of the joke Buck’s life track was totally changed. Sold by the gambler of Judge Miller’s gardener to the north, Buck became a sledge dog. At the same time, the inner nature of wild was woke up the first time he touched the northern world. During Buck’s life career as a sledge dog, he serviced three different groups. The first group was two half-breed men named Perrault and Francois who transported mail letters for the government. Buck learned a great number of new skills as a sledge dog and soon he acclimatized himself to this kind of life. There was a episode of his energetic and charming life, that’s defeating Spitz, the previous leading dog, and winning the leadership of the team. Then a Scotch half-breed took charge of Buck and his mates. It was a rough and tiring trip for the dog team for they had traveled 2500 miles within five months. After that, The dog team was sold to two American men Hal and Charles who had little knowings on how to command the team. It was because of their ignorance
that lead to the terminate of these dogs. Buck and his teammates suffered even more than before. The team were in agony of pain thus they could not under take the task any more. His teammates left him one by one, however,the stupid gold diggers were discontent with them. At last, Buck could not get up any more. He managed to stand up under Hal’s whip but failed. He could sense the impending doom but his master insisted on. When he was beaten to die, Thornton saved his life.
1.3 happy life with John Thornton
Buck recovered from his wounds gradually under Thornton’s meticulous love. In return, Buck showed his feverish and burning love to Thornton too. Unlike others, Thornton always treated Buck as his own child. He expressed his kindness to Buck using greetings and cheering words, and they had a long conversation with each other regularly.(Zhang Yong 2005:096)
Buck saved Thornton’s life for three times, and he also earned Thornton six hundred dollars which helped his master to pay off certain debts and offered him a chance to looking for gold to the east. But the truth was that in the journey to the east, Thornton lost his life.
1.4 returning to the wild
John Thornton was dead. The last tie was broken.Man and the claims man could no longer bound him from returning to the wild. After Buck’s returning to the wild, he took a revenge to those Yeehats who killed Thornton and he became the leader of a pack of wolves. Every summer, Buck mourned Thornton in the valley where he died.
Chapter 2
Different images of Buck
Taking an overlook to Buck’s transformation from a graceful house dog in the south to a powerful leader of a pack of northern wolves, we may find there are many intricate characters in the inner world of Buck’s mind.
2.1 Fighting Spirit
Betrayed by Judge Millers’gardener, Buck was sold to these dog dealers secretly. Soon he realized that his dignity was challenged seriously, and he would never be defeated without any fighting. When the ends of rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he struggled in a fury and growled menacingly until losing his consciousness. When Buck was thrown into the baggage, an unbridled anger broke out from the very depth of his soul, his jaws closed on the man’s hand who spang his throat till his senses were chocked out of him once more.
Acting as an excellent sledge dog, Spitz could never get along well with Buck. As a result,a fighting could’t be avoided without any doubts. Finally, they had a duel when chasing a snow rabbit. Buck did not take any edge at the very beginning, but he knew a lesson from curly’s trampling by 30 dogs when he was falling down because of illness :once you fell down, then this would be your terminate, and there was no middle course. “To show mercy means to show weakness” before your enemy. Mercy did not exist in the primordial life. It would be understood as fear, and such misunderstandings would lead to death. Of course, Buck won the duel and became the leading sledge dog. When the collapsed dogs struggled to stand up from the ground under the ruthless whip of Hal,Buck’s performance were never the same. He just lied down on the ground, ignoring the shower of whips, not struggling and roaring. Buck showed his resent and resistance to those who hurt him in a silent way. When it came to Jack London, it was his powerful spirit and fearless courage over death that brought him the
success of overcoming the incredible difficulties.(Kang Ning 2013:033)
2.2 appreciation to his benefactor
The first person Buck showed his appreciation to was Judge Miller. Acting as a house dog of judge Miller, Buck took the responsibility to please his master and his families. He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the judge’s sons; he escorted the judge’s daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles; he carried the judge’s grandsons on his back etc.
The second person Buck showed his appreciation to was Francois. In the very beginning of their contact, Francois’punishing the snow-white dog from Spitzbergen who had stole Buck’s food made Buck considerate him a fair, calm, and impartial man. What’s more, he insisted Buck a talented dog, even he once sacrificed the tops of his own moccasins to make four moccasins for Buck. In return for Francois’s trust, Buck tried to win every dog’s respect, and he worked hard as a leading sledge dog.
Unlike the love showed to his two previous masters, Buck’s love for Thornton was genuine and passionate instead of responsibilities. Buck’s love was expressed in adoration. He could jump off a cliff without any hesitation if Thornton asked him to do that; he could torn open one’s throat who teased Thornton; he dared to swim to a stretch of wild water in which no swimmer could live in order to save Thornton’s life; he was able to pull a one thousand pounds sledge for one hundred yards which earned sixteen hundred dollars in five minutes for Thornton. Even when Buck was desperate to chasing the mysterious and thrilling call from the wild, the love for John Thornton draw him back the fire again.
2.3 the inner nature of wild
Moving from the sun-kissed south to the chilly and icy north as the turn of his fortune’wheel, Buck entered the original wild which was far away from human civilization. The challenging life in northland seemed of magic and
mysterious appeal to Buck, and soon he fell in love with this cute place. The original wild began to wake up from the very deep of Buck’s soul. He realized and touched the great attraction of the call from the deep forest. All that stirring of instincts which at stated periods drove men out from the sounding cities to forest and plan to kill things by chemically propelled leaden pellets, the blood lust, the joy to kill——all this was Buck’s. This can be easily told in Buck’s experience of chasing the snowshoe rabbit as it mentioned in the novel “He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars and over the face of dead matter that did’t move. ”(Zhang Yong 2009:063) This is a feral kind of life beauty in the world where perfectness are respected. The natural and spectacular pursuit of life is a reflection to individual intelligence and ability. Also it is a healthy and progressive spirit aspiring for freedom. Buck had freedom staying with John Thornton. But the feeling to the depths of the forest is a kind of exciting and charming freedom which worth everything desperate for. Therefore, after the death of Thornton, Buck returned to the free jungle full of mystery and adventure without hesitation in response to the calling which he fascinated for a long time.
2.4 cunning and cruel leadership
Once betrayed by the gardener, Buck was doomed to live a completely different life as he used to be as a vacant and gentle house dog. Working in a chilly and icy environment helped Buck to lose his fastidious eating habit, and he did something which was disgraceful. Learned from Pike, Buck once stole a hole chunk bacon without being suspected for he did it only when Perrault’s back was turned. What’s more, Dub, an awkward blunderer who was always getting caught, was punished for Buck’s misdeed. That’s the first time Buck used his cunning brain to get rid of hunger, but Buck’s cunning never stopped from here. Buck has openly threatened Spitz’s leadership before their final duel.He interfered Spitz’s
punishment to Pike, the malingerer who want to be absent from work. Though Buck was whipped by Francois, he won his first faithful supporter, Pike. When Buck protected Pike to gulp down the stolen fish from Spitz, more and more dogs became his supporter, Dub、Joy and even docile Billy. On one hand, Buck worked faithfully in the harness, on the other hand, he encouraged the rebels and led them into all kinds of petty misdemeanors. Francois knew Buck was behind all the trouble, but Buck was too clever ever again to be caught red-handed.
Buck’s cruelty was firstly shown in the sustaining fighting with Spitz as which can clearly seen in the following conversation:
“One devil,dat spitz.”remarked Perrault.
“Dat Buck two devils, ” was Francois’s rejoinder.(Zhang Yong 2009:041) Fighting for the leadership was never like a athletic game for it was never a easy story to lose one’s face when losing the game. The fact was one who won the game to survival, and the looser would’t have any choice to keep on living in the world. When Spitz disappeared from view, Buck just stood and looked on, showing no mercy on his face, the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his kill and found his good.
The second time when Buck’s evil spirit was outburst was Buck’s finding the death of Thornton made by the Yeehats. He sprang at the foremost man, rapping the throat wide open till the rent jugular spouted a fountain of blood. Buck was like the fiend incarnate, ranging at their heels and dragging them down like deer as they raced through the trees. Even after Buck’s returning to the wild and becoming the leader of the wolves, he never stopped from revenging these Yeehats. It was said that hunters who failed to return to the camp were killed by the so-called Ghost Dog with their throat slashed cruelly open.
Chapter 3
Reflections on Buck’s life experience.
In the age of this complicated world,everyone is supposed to own a sharp sword in preparation for all kind of challenges which can appear at any time in any place. In the story of The Call Of the Wild, Buck’s success returning to the wild from the civilized society gave some reflections of the real society.
3.1 unyielding heroism
When Buck was about to be let out of the cage, he behaved full of wrath to struggle, he attacked the strong man with his sharp teeth. Nevertheless, all his endowers were in vain. But he did’t give up and continued a dozen times. He did the last rush with his endower. Unfortunately, he failed. He was so proud that he did’t want to quit. Though he was black and blue but he was not broken. That was the first time Buck showed his strong willpower and unyielding heroism.
Heroes are always those who are unwilling to be mediocrities. Actually Buck was an emulative dog. The conflict between he and Spitz was inevitable. He wanted and enjoyed to be the leading dog. In their final duel, the primordial dominance in Buck was encouraged. With the instinct and wisdom, Buck became the champion and he occupied the dominant position successfully. After Thornton’s death, Buck came back into the wild and he acted as a leader of a pack of wolves.
3.2 Environmental Determinism
When speaking of Environmental Determinism,the survival of the fittest theory can not be ignored. Survival of fittest is a phrase which is shorthand for a concept relating to competition for survival or predominance. Originally applied by Herbert spencer in his Principles of Biology of 1864, Spencer drew parallels to his ideas of economics with Charles Darwin’s theories of evolution by what
Darwin termed natural selection(Mechalith Millennium 2007) Just as its name implies, one who can adjust himself to the changing environment best, he can survive as the fittest.
In turns of Buck’s story, Jack London endowed more“instinct”than environment which leads Buck’s returning to the wild. But the concept of Spenser’s environment determinism which indicates that environment determines everything can be fully deduced by Jack London through Buck’s journey from civilization to wildness. The stateliness that comes from Buck’s noble blood and stoutness enables him to be endowed with some nobility, alongside with some leadership in sledge dogs as well as in the packs of wild wolves. As for the question, what made Buck such kind of cunning and cruel ruler? The answer is the inaccessible environment .Laking of food, Buck learned to steal food from his companions without being suspected;rushed upon by savage dogs, Buck learned to bristle his neck hair and snarl; being driven out by Francois from the warm tent, Buck learned to dig a hole in the ice to sleep in; being regarded as a enemy of Spitz, Buck learned to be an excellent sledge dog and even he made a long time plan to win a popular support from his companions.
3.3 Praise for Love and Hope
Although Buck hardly showed mercy to his enemies, he was never mean to show his love to those who treated him kindly like Judge Miller, Francois and John Thornton. What’s more, Buck showed his love to the wild. Perhaps it was because of the inner nature as a wild animal, Buck finally became a lover of the waste land. The longing in his nature never let him stop his feet. He should fight for survival, fight for a brand-new life. Life is a real hard nut to crack, so Buck’s love for his benefactors and wild are highly praised in this novel.
Buck’s hope was definitely the call of the wild. The instinct deeply rooted in Buck totally ran over him and brought him back to the wild. During that period, Buck killed a big black bear and two wild wolves. The wild in his blood burst out. He could kill whatever wild animals if he would like. Once he spent four days
chasing and killing a chief bull. He had patience, determination and perseverance. In another words, every cell in Buck felt a frantic excitement when he touched the wildness.
Conclusion
Literature itself functions as a special tool to understand society and history. The Call of the Wild , masterpiece of Jack London, brings us to a world where love and ruthlessness coexist together, club and tooth dominate the behaviour, mercy and cowardice submerged by fierce competition(Zhu Jianfei 2004:034)From the analysis above, we witnessed Buck’s adaption from a civilized society to the wild. During the long term journey, Buck suffered a lot. He once experienced struggle and dangers in which he learned his life lesson, and he also acquainted his genuine passionate love to John Thornton. The survival of the fittest and the super dog theory relied on each other, at the mean time, they repel each other.
To some degree, Buck is a mirror of the writer himself. Born as a bastard, Jack London has suffered a lot on the road of becoming world famous. His life experience of serving on a fish oyster on San Francisco Bay, sailing the Pacific on a sealing ship, and joining Kelly’s Army as an unemployed working man told him the truth : only powerful and strengthful man can survive from the cruel and unfair world! They are both talented and persistent when struggling with the unsmooth fate, sneering and resistant to the grim society and rulers, hopeful and desirable for returning to freedom、independence and dignity. Suffering form the crisis of global capitalism, London went to the north Las Vegas and soon fell into the gold enthusiasm. Then how to survive in such a chilly environment? Maybe that’s the reason why Buck is always shown to us as a strong, big size guy with 140 pounds’weight. All to all, when the two unbending souls embraced each other tightly, the novel won its national reputation.
In the story,Buck steals , rubs and kills without mercy, all this are supposed to condemned in a civilized society,but we never do that, because he did these for survival. London gave characteristics to Buck which intentionally or unintentionally lead us to a self-examination to our society.In the second part of
this thesis, an analysis on Buck’s golden spirits and aspiration : his fighting spirit, appreciation to his benefactor, desire for the wildness and his cunning and cruel leadership. From the very beginning to the end of the story, Buck was never blamed for losing his initial purity and honesty in the changing world, what we saw are: hope, love and instinct for survival(Liu Fuqin 2006:068)

《野性的呼唤》读书笔记5篇优秀范文 《野性的呼唤》这本书写了一条叫做巴克的长毛大狗，从温暖文明的南方被诱拐到冰天雪地的北极荒原，从一只养尊处优、孤芳自赏、目空一切的贵族犬，到备受折磨不得不顺应环境改变自己的生活方式的雪橇犬，最后成为被伊哈特人称为魔鬼的狼群领头狗。在它转变的过程中，巴克身上的野性也被渐渐唤醒。那么野性的呼唤读书笔记怎么去写呢，以下是我整理的野性的呼唤读书笔记范文5篇，希望可以分享给大家提供参考和借鉴。 《野性的呼唤》读书笔记范文一 美国作家杰克·伦敦写的《野性的呼唤》这一本书叙述的是一只圣伯纳犬和苏格兰牧羊犬的混血儿——巴克，而它的命运出现了大起大落，巴克从小生活在南方一个法官的家里，在那儿巴克享受着优裕的生活，普遍的尊重和取足轻重的地位。直到它被人拐卖到一个穿红绒线衫家伙那里。对待巴克反复猛打，让巴克明白一个道理:在那拿着大棒的人面前他是没有希望的我认为就是那家伙手中的大棒就如一把钥匙，让潜藏在巴克体内的野性渐渐苏醒……巴克终于在它的最爱的主人――桑顿被害后，背离了人类世界，回到了荒原。就因为如此，它与人类世界切断了往来。 之后从狗比利那儿，巴克很快学会了如何在雪地里破冰汲水解渴等技巧。在书上有提及到一只狗，叫斯匹茨。因为从它身上，巴克“学”到了很多，让在朦胧中的巴克记起了原始的杀戮。 斯匹茨是雪橇队里的排头狗，也就是领袖。它把巴克当成是潜在的对手，总
是挑衅找茬，表面和善，实际凶残。起先，对于斯匹茨巴克总是处处忍让，尽量避免发生正面冲突。一方面他从中学习，另一方面体内的本能随着一次次的挑衅复活了。 野性苏醒，那来自森林深处的呼喊便时时诱惑着巴克，那是一种凄凉怪诞、叫人毛骨悚然的调子，可巴克却很高兴跟着一起嚎。原始动物的强悍习性在它身上越发强烈，在一次捕猎中，巴克尝到了那种嗜血的欲望和因杀戮而获得的快乐，最终成为了狼王。 正如当今竞争激烈的社会一样，成败就在一刹那间，而我们只能选择面对，犹豫只会失败，我们应该勇敢地接受，往往成功就离你不远了。 《野性的呼唤》读书笔记范文二 在暑假空余的时间里我读了一本外国名著是有关杰克·伦敦的长篇小说《野性的呼唤》。该小说讲的是一只名叫巴克的狗，它原是米勒法官的一只爱犬，经过了文明的教化，一直生活在美国南部加州一个温暖的山谷里，后被卖到美国北部寒冷偏远，盛产黄金的阿拉斯加，成了一只拉雪橇的狗。它目睹了人与人，狗与狗，强者与弱者之间的冷酷无情和生死争夺，于是为了生存，它学会了只求活命，不顾道义的处事原则，变得凶悍，机智和狡诈。最后，在森林中狼群的呼唤下，巴克狼性复发，逃入丛林，重归荒野。在小说中，杰克·伦敦运用拟人手法，把狗眼中的世界和人类的本质刻画的淋漓尽致，反映了资本主义社会冷酷的现实和“”优胜劣汰，适者生存”的客观现实。 读完这本书，让我感触颇深杰克·伦敦所刻画的狗不只是在动物世界中存在，我们现实社会中也普遍存在着，这也许就是本性吧。书中不仅道理深刻，有些语句也很经典，在读的过程中我把我所喜欢的一部分摘抄下来与大家分享。
《荒野的呼唤》读后感范文300字 虽说我读的是《野性的呼唤》的英文版，可是从中还是让我懂得了许多的道理…… 《野性的呼唤》是作者杰克·伦敦于1903年发表的小说，小说讲的是一个名叫巴克的杂交狗，因那时的淘金热，所以从南方被卖到了北方去。巴克为了在北方严峻的环境下生存下去，经过几番周折成为了一条拉雪橇的苦役狗，一路上巴克换了几个主人，最后和桑顿结下了深厚的亲情和友情，后来巴克的主人桑顿被印第安人不幸射中胸部而死，从此巴克走向了荒野，到了最后巴克成为了狼群之首。 从巴克一路走来的过程中，让我们知道了：在自然环境下“只有适者，才能生存”的道理。让我们也知道，巴克是一个坚韧不拔，富有抗争精神，勇猛强壮，适应能力强，它对新生活的向往，富有人情的狗。也能从中感受到巴克与它最后一个主人的感情是超乎所有人与狗的情感。 《野性的呼唤》让我感受到了很多很多…… 单从名字来看，这就是一本充满原始野性的书。事实也的确如此。 这本书描述了一只在南方土生土长的家犬从温顺的宠物到凶猛的野兽的蜕变。 它叫巴克。
巴克是大法官米勒的狗，其它狗和它比起来都豪不起眼，由于当时有许多人去北方淘金，一只优秀的雪橇就显得尤为重要，于是它被工人曼纽尔偷偷卖掉了。 狗的祖先是狼，但到了巴克这一代，它们与生俱来的野性已经被温暖的炉火和上好的狗粮消磨掉了。 在冰天雪地的北方，它身上的野性在渐渐苏醒，巴克现在像足了一条爱斯基摩犬，也可以说像……像狼。 巴克是条十分优秀的领头犬，它几经易主，最后在死亡线上被一个叫桑顿的男人救了回来，这决定了巴克对他的忠诚。 它可以为了桑顿一个微不足道的指令义无反顾的跳下悬崖，也可以冒着生命危险救主，这使它名声大噪。 在一次意外中，桑顿和他的朋友被爱斯基摩人杀死，它得知后勃然大怒，追了几十公里，咬死了大多数爱斯基摩人。 它加入了狼群，成了头狼。也许，这对它而言，是最好的归宿。 这本书主要讲了一只狗――巴克从家犬到狼群首领的故事。巴克是一位磨坊主兼法官米勒先生的家犬，它的体重足有六十千克重，每天和米勒先生的孙子和孙女嬉戏玩耍。巴克的父亲是一只圣伯纳德狗，母亲是芬兰牧羊犬。巴克有它父亲的王者风度和高大身材，也有它母亲的细腻、机警，它让它无比骄傲。 一次，园丁助手把巴克领到火车站，结果被卖了，巴克斗不过陌生人，只好服从。后来，巴克又被一个人买走了，人家带它和其它狗的目的是要去淘金，巴克先学会了拉雪橇，后来又与一条狗决斗当
野性的呼唤读后感精选范文2020 野性的呼唤读后感1 当我一看到是关于写动物的书，我便很高兴，特别是读过沈石溪先生写的几篇动物小说，如《斑羚飞渡》、《老马威尼》。而且对于《野性的呼唤》这本书也早有听说。看了之后的第一反应，便是将杰克·伦敦写的另一篇小说《白牙》结合起来。如果说谁更加幸运，这还挺难说的，因为一个得到了温馨、幸福的生活而另一个则是重返了森林，找回了自己原有的生活。但有点却是共同的:从原来的森林被人推到苦难中，再被善良的人用爱救了回来，从苦难中解脱出来。 巴克原是米勒法官家的一只爱犬，经过了文明的教化，一直生活在美国南部加州一个温暖的山谷里。后被卖到美国北部寒冷偏远、盛产黄金的阿拉斯加，成了一只拉雪橇的狗。它目睹了人与人、狗与狗、强者与弱者之间冷酷无情和生死争斗，于是为了生存，它学会了只求活命、不顾道义的处世原则，变得凶悍、机智而狡诈。最后，在森林中狼群的呼唤下，巴克狼性复萌，逃入丛林，重归荒野。在小说中，杰克·伦敦运用拟人手法，把狗眼中的世界及人类的本质刻画地淋漓尽致，反映了资本主义社会冷酷的现实和“优胜劣汰，适者生存”的客观现实。巴克渴望并奔向了自由，这也正是作家的追求和理想的体现。在巴克所遇到的狗与人中，充满了“棍棒与犬牙法则”也就是“胜者为王，败者为寇”的法则。巴克与其他的狗和人一样，充满了对于权力的占有欲望，于是巴克与一个个挑战者经历了长久的斗争，其中的第一个敌人也就是当时巴克所在狗对的头儿--斯皮茨，初出茅庐的巴
克斗得是遍体鳞伤，当最终还是将对手打到争夺了领袖地位。巴克的领域感也非常强，谁要是侵犯它的领域，要么归顺，要么倒下。 在巴克的一生中还有一个人十分重要--约翰·桑顿，是他在危急时刻救了巴克，并且给了巴克以无限的爱和温暖，桑顿在巴克的心中的地位可谓是举足轻重，然而也正是因为这点桑顿的死给了巴克沉重的打击，也迫使它走向野蛮。 《野性的呼唤》以一只狗的经历表现文明世界的狗在主人的逼迫下回到野蛮，写的是狗，也反映人的世界……我有点当心我会像巴克一样，一旦自己最重要的东西突然失去，我会不会也走向“野蛮”?我想应该不会，因为巴克是个野兽，野蛮是他的天性，野性会让它返回森林，它是别无选择的，因为城市里已经容纳不下它了。 野性的呼唤读后感2 不得不说，它作为一条狗，活出如此风采，当真是霸气了得。 充沛的阳光，精美的食物，并没有懒惰它的气魄。被辗转带到冰天雪地的遭遇，也没有拖垮它的身体。适应力和顽强的生存欲望，在它的身上体现的可谓是淋漓尽致。为真心疼爱它的主人赢得一千六百美元的赌金，是它懂得感恩的赤诚之心。最后化身为狼，是它最棒的结局!它就像一位尖子生交给老师的答卷，完美，无一丝瑕疵。 我一直以为，因为杰克?伦敦的过于崇拜达尔文等人的学说，所以在作品中，也会体现出来，而这如果用在人类的活动上，就显得有些粗暴和过简了，可如果用在动物小说上，便是完美的契合。我想他肯定也意识到了这一点，所以“海狼”的结局那么悲惨，而巴克却获得了
野性的呼唤读书心得全新范文摘选 = 野性的呼唤整个故事以阿拉斯加淘金热为背景，讲述了在北方险恶的环境下，巴克为了生存，如何从一条驯化的南方狗发展到似狗非狗、似狼非狼的野蛮状态的过程。今日小编就为大家整理了关于野性的呼唤读书心得范文，欢迎借阅学习，一起来看看吧! 野性的呼唤读书心得1 《野性的呼唤》这本书的每一个细节，都促使我忍不住之后往下读，可能是读的太融入，而导致我连早饭也忘了吃。 这本书主要讲了一只壮健聪明的狗――巴克，在阿拉斯加荒野的残酷环境下，为了生存和群狗进行殊死的争斗，随后她身上狼祖先的野性逐渐恢复，最终最终逃进了原始森林，变成了狼。 令我印象最深刻的是：在荒无人烟的雪野里，在饥饿和野狼的威胁下，一个伤痛缠身、孤独一人的淘金者，和死亡作着殊死的搏斗。仗着求生的愿望，他不畏艰辛，拼死抗争，最终以坚强的毅力战胜死亡，奏响了一曲对人类精神和生命的赞歌。 告别了这一件件触目惊心的事件，我渐渐觉得，巴克是一只勇敢的“狗”，坚强的“狗”，还是一个能为了生命的永存而与死神殊死拼搏的一只神圣而伟大的狼。而促使他和死神斗争的是它那渴望让生命永远沸腾的活力火热的心! 应对巴克的种种精神，我显得有些惭愧，我往往应对自我立的誓言，不会坚强的去做，而会退缩。记得有一次开学，妈妈给我买了许多卷子，我决定在一个学期内，教师讲到哪里，我就写到哪里，可是到了开学，刚刚前两天我每一天按时完成作业，可是坚持的不到一个星期，便败下阵来，最终到了期末，一整沓卷子，也就是完成了不到四五张。 读了这本书以后，我渐渐明白了，不管是在生活中还是学习中，做事情都应当追求坚韧、坚持的信念，为了一个目标竭尽自我所能，终不后悔。遇到困难不要气馁，不要丧失信心，要转换自我的思想观念，树立目标，奋起直追。 野性的呼唤读书心得2 我觉得巴克很能适应环境。在红衣男人的棍子下，它懂得了服从和忍耐。刚到北极时，它不适应那里的寒冷与残酷，但很快，它就适应了那里的寒冷，并且变得坚强而又狡猾。 我觉得巴克勇猛而又机智。它想获得领头狗的地位，就咬死了领头狗，自己成为领头狗，并最终成为狗群的霸主。当面对狼群的挑战，巴克勇猛地击退狼群的攻击，最终被狼群接纳，加入到狼群的队伍中。 我觉得巴克很忠心。只要你对它好，它就会舍生忘死地回报你。巴克的主人被激流冲到河里了，巴克就不顾生死、坚持不懈地把主人救上了岸。 读了这篇小说，我觉得动物和我们一样，有一颗感恩的心，我们要善待它们，不能伤害
1 J ack London was born in San Francisco on January 12, 1876, the illegitimate son of Flora Wellman, the rebellious daughter of an aristocratic family, and William Chaney, a traveling astrologer who abandoned Flora when she became pregnant. Eight months after her son was born, Flora married John London, a grocer and Civil War veteran whose last name the infant took. London grew up in Oakland, and his family was mired in poverty throughout his youth. He remained in school only through the eighth grade but was a voracious reader and a frequent visitor to the Oakland Public Library, where he went about edu-cating himself and laying the groundwork for his impending literary career. In his adolescent years, London led a rough life, spending time as a pirate in San Francisco Bay, traveling the Far East on sealing expeditions, and making his way across America as a tramp. Finally, temporarily tired of adventure, London returned to Oakland and graduated from high school. He was even admitted to the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed only for a semester. The Klondike gold rush (in Canada’s Y ukon Territory) had begun, and in 1897 London left college to seek his fortune in the snowy North. The gold rush did not make London rich, but it furnished him with plenty of material for his career as a writer, which began in the late 1890s and continued until his death in 1916. He worked as a reporter, covering the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 and the Mexican Revolution in the 1910s; meanwhile, he published ov er fifty books and became, at the time, America’s most famous author. For a while, he was one of the most widely read authors in the world. He embodied, it was said, the spirit of the American West, and his portrayal of adventure and frontier life seemed like a breath of fresh air in comparison with nineteenth-century V ictorian fiction, which was often overly concerned with what had begun to seem like trivial and irrelevant social norms. The Call of the Wild, published in 1903, remains London’s most famous work, blending his experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness with his ideas about nature and the struggle for existence. He drew these ideas from various influential figures, including Charles Darwin, an English naturalist credited with -developing theories about biological evolution, and Friedrich Nietzsche, a prominent German philosopher. Although The Call of the Wild is first and foremost a story about a dog, it displays a -philosophical depth absent in most animal adventures. London was married twice—once in 1900, to his math tutor and friend Bess Maddern, and again in 1905, to his secretary Charmian Kittredge, whom he considered his true love. As his works soared in popularity, he became a contradictory figure, arguing for socialist principles and women’s rights even as he himself lived a materialist life of luxury, sailing the world in his boat, the Snark, and running a large ranch in northern California. Meanwhile, he preached -equality and the brotherhood of man, even as novels like The Call of the Wild celebrated violence, power, and brute force. London died young, on November 22, 1916. He had been plagued by stomach problems and failing kidneys for years, but many have suggested that his death was a suicide. Whatever the cause, it is clear that London, who played the various roles of journalist, novelist, prospector, sailor, pirate, husband, and father, lived life to the fullest. 1

野性的呼唤英文读后感 篇一：野性的呼唤英文>读后感 At the beginning of this century, many new writers emerged with the introduction of many new ideas. Among them, Jack London was the most popular one. His most famous novel is the call of the wild . Although it is a story about a dog, Buck, it vividly depicts the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune. Buck, used to belong to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North. Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled . In the days of pulling a snow-sled, he learned to conform to the law of nature and obey the master. Finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the tough environment. This is the call of the wild. When you read the story, you will feel that Buck is a man instead of a dog, struggling with his fortune and conforming to the law of nature. Though short, it is really a thrilling story. What you never forget is the tough life in the nature, the brave and crafty dog. Maybe the wild is calling you to go ahead. While writing for only 16 years throughout his life, London produced an amazing body of work among which, White Fang, Martin Eden, the Valley of the Moon are representative. 篇二：野性的呼唤英文读后感 In the 19th century ,the west of America was under cultivation .Hundreds of adventurers were moving to the west .At the same time ,it was said that gold had been found in large quantity in Northern California ,so thousands of people went to the west for gold .There were so many people ,but in the freezing cold North ,transportation was the biggest problem .At such situation ,dogs and sleds was the best choice ,so in the North ,dogs and sleds was the main transport tools then .Of course ,millions of dogs were needed urgently ,from then on ,there were plenty of dogs like Buck began their unfortunate difficult journey life.

野性的呼唤读书心得相关范文优选 野性的呼唤这部书很真实很血性，也映出作者的渴望，他渴望自由，他期望自我更强大，不屈服于自我的命运。今日小编就为大家整理了关于野性的呼唤读书心得范文，欢迎借阅学习，一起来看看吧! 野性的呼唤读书心得1 《野性的呼唤》读后感这本书真的是太感人了。 巴克原是南方法官家的爱犬，经过几经周折，踏上了前往阿拉斯加淘金之路。但巴克是一条南方的狗，在北方又很难适应这样恶劣的环境，如何融入到雪橇犬的生活，可是经过不断走跑，和从没经历过的打打杀杀，巴克成了队长，没有人能比的过巴克。 巴克是一只惹人喜爱的大犬，它经历过的挫折，都是无法想象的艰难。 这一个写的好：古老的渴望在心中骚动，原始的自游在暗自激荡，在冬日昏沉的长眠中，野性的热血再一次沸腾。 巴克是一条狗，连狼也怕巴克，要是我有一条像马克一样的狗，那就太好了，可是有时候巴克十分可怕，会咬死人。 巴克面临着前所未有的挑战，在经历各种磨难之后，他内心原始的野性被呼唤出来，最终走向了荒郊野外。 野性的呼唤读书心得2 在暑假里我读了不少书，有?西游记?、?史记?、?黑骏马?……但我认为写得最精彩最有真情实感的是?野性的呼唤?。 故事以一只名叫巴克的狗为主人公，巴克从悠闲自在的宠物狗变成狡猾而又凶猛的雪橇犬，最终，他被一位叫约翰。桑顿的人从苦难的工作生活中解救了出来。他又变成了约翰。桑顿最忠实的伙伴。好几次约翰。桑顿快要命丧黄泉时，巴克就勇敢地把他救回来。然而，命运多难，在巴克的一次森林外出时，一群印地安人把他的主人杀害了。巴克无处可归，于是他再一次从狗变成了狼群的首领。 巴克是一只多厉害的狗呀!它从富足安逸的田园生活到冰天雪地里在棍棒和饥饿中负重跋涉的苦役犬，巴克的生活有了翻天覆地的变化。在我看来很多狗有这样的变化很可能会受不了，甚至会发疯，可巴克不仅仅没有发疯，反而脱颖而出，成为了雪橇犬中的头领。如果巴克是个人的话他会怎样样呢?有这样顽强意志的他可能会创造一个无比强大的帝国，称霸世界;他可能会造出了不起的发明，推进人类的科学发展;也有可能成为勇敢的战士杀人如麻。 巴克是一只多厉害的狗呀!他竟然能把狗与狼的天敌关系转化为朋友关系，他是怎样做到的呢?首先，他拥有比狼更厉害的本领(狡猾的头脑中、风一般的速度、山一般的体

Chapter 7: The Sounding of the Call Summary John Thornton pays off his debts with money he earns from the bet, and he sets off to the east to find a fabled lost mine that is supposed to make a man rich. Together with his other dogs and his friends Pete and Hans, he and Buck wander in the wilderness, hunting and fishing and living off the land, until they reach a shallow place in a valley full of gold. The men earn thousands of dollars a day panning for gold, and the dogs have nothing to do. Buck begins to feel wild yearnings. One night, he springs up from sleep with a start, hearing a call from the forest. He dashes through the woods and finds a timber wolf, one-third his size. Buck begins to circle the wolf and make friendly advances, but the wolf is afraid. Finally, the two show their friendship by sniffing noses, and the wolf leads Buck away through the forest. They stop to drink, and Buck remembers John Thornton. The wolf encourages him to keep following, but Buck starts back toward the camp. When he arrives, Thornton is eating dinner, and Buck showers him with affection. For two days, he never allows Thornton out of his sight. Then, he hears the call more loudly than ever and is haunted by recollections of his wild friend. He begins to stay away from the camp for days at a time, hunting his own food. Buck has two identities at this point: one as sled dog in Thornton’s camp, another as wild hunter in the forest. He kills a bear and fishes for salmon the river; when the moose come in the fall, Buck hunts them eagerly. He cuts a bull away from the pack to kill him and finally brings him down after four days. Then he heads back to the camp. On the way, he feels a strange stirring in the wilderness, of something new abroad, and he feels a premonition of calami ty. His feeling is proven correct when he finds Thornton’s dog Nig and one of the dogs bought in Dawson, both dying on the trail. As he approaches the camp, he sees Hans lying facedown, arrows covering him. He peers out to where the lodge had been and sees Yeehat Indians dancing in the wreckage. Buck charges, cutting their throats with his fangs and killing several of them. The Indians scatter, and Buck finds the rest of his camp, including Thornton, dead. Buck mourns his dead master but feels pride at having killed the Yeehats. Henceforth, he will not fear men unless they carry weapons. He hears the call of the wolf again. His ties to Thornton broken by death, he heads off to follow it. He finds the pack, and one wolf lunges for his throat, but he breaks its neck easily. Three others try but pull back. After half an hour they all draw back, and one of them approaches Buck in a friendly manner. Buck recognizes him to be the wolf he encountered in the woods. Buck joins the wolf pack, and the Yeehats notice a difference in the local breed of timber wolves as years pass. They also tell of a Ghost Dog that runs at the front of the pack, singing songs and leaping above his fellows. They tell of a haunted valley—where Thornton lies dead—where an evil spirit dwells, and where, every year, Buck comes and mourns for a time beside the stream before loping away to rejoin the pack.
《野性的呼唤》读后感 “在那冰天雪地的荒野中，他在艰难地前行，一步，又一步……狂风无情的向他席卷而来，冰雪划伤他的皮毛，一瞬间，雪被染得像红宝石般绚丽……”自从开始读《荒野的呼唤》后，这幅景象就经常在我脑海中闪现，究竟使他义无返顾去追求的是什么，我想知道答案，就是这样带着疑虑和困惑我读了下去。 想问你可曾尝试过以一种认真地态度与一个动物沟通，倾听它地声音，感受它的感情？虽然越来越多的动物被人们豢养，当作宠物，可是，它们只是宠物而已，人们只是把它们当作一条招之即来、呼之即走的宠物而已，并没有平等、自由与沟通。 在杰克?伦敦写的这本书——《野性的呼唤》中，我走进一只狗的世界。这只狗叫巴克，是一只圣伯纳犬和苏格兰牧羊犬的混血儿。不同的是，巴克并非是神话中充满人类幻想的狗，也不是穿插在人类社会担任朋友角色的狗，而是以在北国雪地的生活、事迹震撼着读者心灵的狗。 巴克从小生活在南方一个法官的家里，在那儿巴克享受着优裕的生活，普遍的尊重和取足轻重的地位，可一切却因人类在北方找到一种黄色的金属而改变。 带有几分贵族气息的巴克遭受了第一次不礼貌的待遇，它被人拐走卖到一个穿红绒线衫家伙那儿。接着是一顿大棒的反复猛打，一次再次地打得它昏死过去。从此巴克明白一个道理:在那拿着大棒的人面前他是没有希望的。我想大棒就是一把钥匙，一把让巴克明白原始本性的钥匙，让它学习到弱肉强食的原始统治法则，同时也让潜藏在巴克体内的野性渐渐苏醒。 假如说大棒是一把钥匙，那么巴克的同伴则是教授这门课程的正文。巴克经过几次展转，他被带到寒冷的北极加入了一只拉雪橇的队伍为一些人挖寻金矿，并从同伴中摸索到了许许多多的生存之道。不同与其他的狗，他很快学会了他的新工作，也适应了北极冰天雪地的生活。就这样，他开始在拉雪橇中感受活着的滋味。长此以往，他的肌肉锻炼得像铁。对一切痛苦处之泰然。他学会了在雪地睡觉，学会了乘主人不注意时偷吃同伙的鱼食。然而，他的威猛健壮，敏捷机智，注定了他与领导狗间的决斗已是在所难免。在那场惨烈的搏斗中，布克咬死了敌手，最终成了“成功的战士”。 然而，尽管它在狗群里拥有至高无上的地位，可是它终究只是一条狗，一条被人类所奴役的狗，在人类面前，它只是一个畜生，没有关爱，没有地位，直到桑顿的出现。 桑顿最初也如其他人一样，不断地驱使着狗群在冰天雪地里拉着他们前行，知道他的同
