Answer:

Explanation:

Buck

A powerful dog, half St. Bernard and half sheepdog, who is stolen from a California estate and sold as a sled dog in the Arctic. Buck gradually evolves from a pampered pet into a fierce, masterful animal, able to hold his own in the cruel, kill-or-be-killed world of the North. Though he loves his final master, John Thornton, he feels the wild calling him away from civilization and longs to reconnect with the primitive roots of his species.

Spitz

Buck’s archrival and the original leader of Francois’s dog team. Spitz is a fierce animal—a “devil-dog,” one man calls him—who is used to fighting with other dogs and winning. He meets his match in Buck, however, who is as strong as Spitz and possesses more cunning. Spitz is an amoral being who fights for survival with all of his might, disregarding what is right and wrong.

Curly

A friend of Buck’s, met on the journey to the North. Curly’s death, when she naively tries to be friendly to a husky, acts as a warning to Buck of the harshness and cruelty of his new home.

quester [9]
Taylor begins the story in awe of the woods and nature. There is a little sadness as she looks at the tree, knowing she will "never see this tree whole", since it has been split by lightning. In the middle, Taylor's exploration is focused on the bird; she is frightened of the bird and its beak that could "rip the nose off" her face, but concerned about it and interested as well. At the end, she becomes lost and afraid, because she doesn't know where she is.
