Answer:

I think that the tone of this passage is <em>regretful</em>. <u>The correct option in the last one.</u>

Explanation:

In these lines, the author tells how he/she perceives the reality of the white South Africans, he/she says that they are afraid of losing privileges, and that they "<em>would rather die</em>” than give up those privileges. These words are filled with sorrow, with sadness and without hope. The author tells this as a hard truth, but truth at last. <u>The author is not violent in this description</u>, he/she is <u>just pointing out the reality</u> and that is why I chose regretful as the correct tone for describing the excerpt. <u>The author is not directly judging the white South Africans acts, he/she is just giving information with a connotation of sorrow and regret.</u>

The call of the wild quote and narrative
erica [24]

Answer:

This quotation is from the beginning of Chapter I, “Into the Primitive,” and it defines Buck’s life before he is kidnapped and dragged into the harsh world of the Klondike. As a favored pet on Judge Miller’s sprawling California estate, Buck lives like a king—or at least like an “aristocrat” or a “country gentleman,” as London describes him. In the civilized world, Buck is born to rule, only to be ripped from this environment and forced to fight for his survival. The story of The Call of the Wild is, in large part, the story of Buck’s climb back to the top after his early fall from grace. He loses one kind of lordship, the “insular” and “sated” lordship into which he is born, but he gains a more authentic kind of mastery in the wild, one that he wins by his own efforts rather than by an accident of birth.
