Question

 Analyze how the main conflict and its resolution impacts Buck and the plot of Call of the Wild. How does the conflict drive the plot? How does the conflict shape Buck as a character? How is the conflict resolved? How does the resolution of the conflict impact Buck and the plot? It is a "essay" question but it doesn't need to be to long just a paragraph maybe 

Answer 1

Buck is a Saint Bernard Shepherd dog living the good life. He lives in Santa Clara Valley with his owner, Judge Miller. He is a domesticated dog until he is stolen and sent to Alaska where strong sled dogs are in demand. Buck undergoes a series of adventures where he must shed his pampered doggy past and learn what it means to be wild. Buck must find his inner-wolf through many trials and tribulations.

 

Buck - the protagonist, part Saint Bernard and part Scottish Shepherd. At first, Buck is a pampered dog living in the Santa Clara Valley in California. As the story progresses, Buck changes as he is forced to work as a sled dog in the harsh conditions of the Yukon.

 

The story's climax occurs when John Thorton rescues Buck and a true bond is re-established between Buck and a human. As for a solution or resolution, this occurs when John Thorton is killed, and Buck no longer has any emotional ties..... he is then free to return to the wild.
