I was at lunch with my mother and we were discussing current events. We had placed our order about five minutes earlier. Just as we were beginning to become irritated our drinks were brought to us. My mother ordered a soda pop, where as I had ordered an iced tea. My tea was served with a slice of bitter lemon. After drinks, we had a wonderful lunch.
Thesis #1: One of the main themes in the first two chapters of The Call of the Wild is that men are just as greedy, violent and competitive as dogs when put in harsh circumstances.
The Call of the Wild is a story of transformation in which the old Buck—the civilized, moral Buck—must adjust to the harsher realities of life in the frosty North, where survival is the only imperative. Kill or be killed is the only morality among the dogs of the Klondike, as Buck realizes from the moment he steps off the boat and watches the violent death of his friend Curly. The wilderness is a cruel, uncaring world, where only the strong prosper. It is, one might say, a perfect Darwinian world, and London’s depiction of it owes much to Charles Darwin, who proposed the theory of evolution to explain the development of life on Earth and envisioned a natural world defined by fierce competition for scarce resources. The term often used to describe Darwin’s theory, although he did not coin it, is “the survival of the fittest,” a phrase that describes Buck’s experience perfectly. In the old, warmer world, he might have sacrificed his life out of moral considerations; now, however, he abandons any such considerations in order to survive. Buck is a savage creature, in a sense, and hardly a moral one, but London, like Nietzsche, expects us to applaud this ferocity. His novel suggests that there is no higher destiny for man or beast than to struggle, and win, in the battle for mastery.
Even though you didn't give us any excerpts, I can still try to help you.
I would say the correct answer is that <span>Grendel is described as an unfeeling creature in Beowulf, but he is a sensitive and emotional character in Grendel.
Based on the system of elimination, that should be the correct answer. B is incorrect because he is scary and monstrous, not comical and ridiculous; C is incorrect because Beowulf acts bravely and honorably in Beowulf, not the other way round; D is incorrect because there is no sympathy towards Grendel in Beowulf because he is a ruthless monster. So this leaves us with A as the correct answer.
