The Call of the Wild Jack London

ABOUT THE AUTHOR A fearless adventurer, Jack London (1876–1916) grew up in Oakland, California. His family was

poor, so when he was a child he delivered newspapers, worked on an ice wagon, and set up pins at a bowling alley. After London left school in eighth grade, he worked at a cannery. While a teenager, London joined the crew of a seal-hunting boat. He sailed to Hawaii, Siberia, and Japan. When he returned home, he worked in a power plant.

In 1897, London joined the gold rush in the Yukon Territory of Canada. This is the setting for The Call of the Wild, which was published in 1903. After returning to California in 1898, London decided to earn a living as a writer. He published more than twenty novels, as well as plays, essays, and stories.

BACKGROUND In The Call of the Wild, Jack London vividly captures his firsthand experiences in the Yukon

Territory. In 1896, gold was discovered in the Klondike region of the Yukon. Soon, thousands of prospectors streamed into this arctic wilderness, hoping to strike it rich.

London arrived in the Yukon in 1897. He camped in freezing cabins and walked for miles carrying heavy packs filled with supplies. He met colorful figures, including grizzled miners, native Alaskans, and a dog named Jack. Jack became the model for Buck in The Call of the Wild. Although he did not strike it rich through his mining efforts, London did discover literary gold. His tales of the landscape and people of the rugged North gained him fame around the world.

QUICK GUIDE

As you read The Call of the Wild, keep the following literary elements in mind:

• SETTING is the time and place of the action in a novel. The Call of the Wild is set in the Yukon Territory in the late 1800s. As you read, notice how this setting creates conflicts that influence the novel’s plot. Also notice the atmosphere, or feeling, that London creates as he describes this setting.

• Buck experience conflicts with his own kind, with humans, with nature, and with his own instincts. Consider the external conflicts Buck faces as he struggles against nature and against other characters. Also, consider the internal conflicts he experiences within his mind.

• PLOT is the sequence of events in a story. Each event results from a previous one and then causes the next event. Conflicts in the plot cause tension. This tension builds until it reaches a high point of suspense, called the climax. Look for the climax in The Call of the Wild.

• COMPARING AND CONTRASTING CHARACTERS means figuring out ways that characters are alike and ways that they are different. Doing this can help you predict which characters will have conflicts. It can also help you understand the author’s insights about life.

• REALISM is a literary movement in which people and their lives are shown as realistically as possible. Realism emphasizes the harsh realities of ordinary daily life.

• The THEME is the central message or insight conveyed in a work of literature. What insights about life are revealed through the experiences of Buck?

Parasite PigWilliam SleatorLexile: 750

Stuck at boring afterschool job, Barney deals with aliens that no one except him believes in.

Crater Homer HickamLexile: 910

An orphan who works as a miner on the moon must go on a perilous journey.

Connection to Essential QuestionMoon miners’ lives are hard, but they produce energy that Earth can’t do without. In this novel, the answer to the Essential Question: Should we make a home in space? is largely positive, but it leaves some room for considering the inequality it might spark.

James and the Giant Peach Roald DahlLexile: 870

After a house-sized peach grows in his yard, a young boy is swept up into a fantastic adventure.

Connection to Essential QuestionThe peach’s flight leads to both danger and adventure as James take off into the ocean and eventually into flight above the earth. The travelers meet the Cloud-Men. The story explores the feasability of a life outside the normal, casting a surprising and fantastic light on the Essential Question: Should we make a home in space?
