Figurative language uses figures of speech to be more effective, persuasive, and impactful. Figures of speech such as metaphors, similes, and allusions go beyond the literal meanings of the words to give readers new insights.
Answer:
A. Buck is careful and methodical
Explanation:
Below is the excerpt from "The Call of the Wild:"
"The dominant primordial beast was strong in Buck, and under the fierce conditions of trail life it grew and grew. Yet it was a secret growth. His newborn cunning gave him poise and control. He was too busy adjusting himself to the new life to feel at ease, and not only did he not pick fights, but he avoided them whenever possible. A certain deliberateness characterized his attitude. He was not prone to rashness and precipitate action; and in the bitter hatred between him and Spitz he betrayed no impatience, shunned all offensive acts."
From the above excerpt, we can infer that Buck is careful and methodical. He doesn't pick on fights but rather avoided them. Also, he comported himself and endeavoured to avoid offensive acts. Furthermore, he was not prone to rashness.
"The Call of the Wild" is a short adventure story written by Jack London. A dog named Buck is the central character of the story. In the story, Buck is stolen from his home and was sold as a sled dog in Alaska. In the environment he finds himself, he becomes progressively feral. Such environment forces him to fight in order to survive and at the same time dominate other dogs.
Answer:
Desperation and the struggle to survive. He is in a harsh environment and every person and animal must strive to survive the elements.
Explanation:
White Fang has the instinct to survive and is used to dealing with what nature throws his way. His natural instinct is to hunt and fight. White Fang does not want to be a pet; he is there to do a job and he knows what he is supposed to do in order to survive. Man does not always acknowledge that he may not know all of the ways in which to fight and hunt to survive.
It is very interesting to note that both of these characters change throughout the story. It is as if White Fang gave up his independence for a life with his man. This is actually a type of "social order" that these animals would have. White Fang gives up his independence to become domesticated. Loved. Petted. Trained, not tamed.
