Answer: d) contrast the political climate of the two states during the Gold Rush of the 1800s.
<em>The Call of the Wild</em> is a short novel by Jack London published in 1903, and set mainly in Yukon, Canada. The central character is a dog named Buck. Buck is stolen from his home in Santa Clara Valley, California, and sold as a sled dog in Alaska.
The book depicts the events surrounding the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. During the Gold Rush, dogs were in high demand, which is one of the reasons Buck is stolen and sold. The story shifts the setting in order to contrasts the political climate of the two states.
The definition of communal is "Shared by all members of a community; for common use."
I would say that their kitchen <em>is</em> communal because their "community" consists of all the roommates who use the kitchen and contribute to it. If only one person contributed to the kitchen stock, then it would not be communal.
