The author of '' Keesh'' is trying to accomplish the point of equality or the point that sacrifices made should be appreciated.
Right from the beginning of the story, Jack London presents a great hunter who used to be very successful in killing wild animals before he was killed by a bear.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>
The late hunter's name is Bok who died and left a son called Keesh. The action Keesh took after his father's death and its consequence are the two factors that reveal what the author is trying to accomplish in the story.
The author shows the readers that after Bok died, Keesh courageously took up his father's hunting job, regardless of his tender age at 13. He went into the forest to hunt wild animals like the Polarise and mother bear, and after killing them all, he will distribute it freely to the villagers, including the council members.
Later, some council members conspired against him and alleged that Keesh kills the wild animals using spiritual powers. The councils were surprised that keesh could kill a mother bear with its cubs.
The council member confronted him and Keesh threw some questions at them. He rhetorically questioned the council members about how many villagers had died because of the meat and telling them that he used his head craft (tricks for hunting), not spirits.
By showing this action taken by the council members and Keesh's response, Jack relays the point, that everyone's sacrifice should not be forgotten but appreciated.
