TheCalloftheWild《野性的呼唤》读书报告
TheCalloftheWild《野性的呼唤》读书报告The Wild is still calling——After reading The Call of The WildPublished in 1903, The Call of the Wild is Jack London’s famous novel set during the Klondike Gold Rush. Its author, Jack London, who had been a prospector in the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1890s, was regarded as the America’s most famous author at that time.T he novel’s protagonist is a dog named Buck, a physically impressive dog, living the good life in California when he gets stolen and put into dog slavery. For him, this means pulling a ridiculously heavy sled through miles and miles of frozen ice with little or nothing to eat and frequent beatings. As the definition of a domestic dog, Buck is out of his element until he begins to adapt to his surroundings, and learn from the other dogs.Buck is involved in a struggle for power with another dog, Spitz. They end up fighting and Buck wins, taking over as leader of the sled dog team. The team changes human management and the new drivers don't seem to be very competent. They’re bad drivers and end up killing everyone, including themselves. Fortunately, Buck is saved by a kind man named John Thornton, moment before the group death in an icy river.Buck becomes attached to Thornton and even saves his life several times. Buck sets off on a journey with his new master and several other men, loving his new life, except for the need to run off and kill things in the woods every once in a while. Buck fights with temptation: stay with Thornton, or kill things? Be civilized, or be wild? And naturally there are several missed phone calls from the wild.At the end of the Call of the Wild, Thornton is killed by the Yeehat tribe. Buck is then free to run with the wild dog packs.The novel deals with Buck as though he were a person with thoughts and emotions and touches me by its theme of pursuing ancestral memory and primitive instincts.When Buck enters the wild, he must learn countless lessons in order to survive, and he learns them well. But the novel suggests that his success in the frozen North is not merely a matter of “learning”; rather, Buck gradually “recovers” primitive instincts and memories that his wild ancestors possessed, which have been buried in modern civilized creatures, dogs. The technical term for what happens to Buck is atavism—the reappearance in a modern creature of traits that was defined by its remote forefathers. London returns to this theme again and again, constantly reminding us that Buck is “retrogressing”, as the novel puts it into a wilder way of life that all dogs once shared ——“He was older than the days he had seen and the breaths he had drawn.” Buck even has occasional visions of this older world, when humans wore animal skins and lived in caves, and when wild dogs hunted their prey in the primeval forests. His connection to his ancestral identity is more than instinctual; it is mystical. The civilized world, which seems so strong, turns out to be nothing more than a thin veneer, which is quickly worn away to reveal the ancient instinctslying dormant underneath. Buck hears the call of the wild, and London implies that, in the right circumstances, we might hear it too.Jack London isn’t necessarily making the claim that we should all run around naked, killing and eating with our bare hands. Instead, he uses a dog to ask the question of what all thiscivilization is really doing for us. Because aside from the starvation, beatings, and the nearly freezing to death, Buck might just be better off in the wild than where he was before this whole mess began. Why? B ecause it’s what he was meant to do, what his body was built for. So the next time you find yourself on the verge of giving in to those primal instincts, take a minute. And pick up the phone, because The Wild is still calling.。

THECALLOFTHEWILD读后感(精选5篇)第一篇:THE CALL OF THE WILD读后感Wolfish Howl and Half-Sobs Chant——the call of the wild Finishing a novel in two days was a fresh experience to me.I was deeply fascinated by Buck’s return to nature.It is a journey to rediscover the insidious instinct, suffering and learning.Many characters,dogs and men,played important roles on his way back to the forest.The first one must be Spitz.Firstly,Spitz,as laed-dog and acknowledged master of the team,had capability and proficience.He was an apt teacher,never allowing buck to linger long in error,and enforcing his teaching with h is sharp teeth.If spitz hadn’t instructed him,buck would not have mastered his work in such a short period.Secondly, his cruelty also left me a strong impression.After he ripped friendly curly’s face without any warning and finally led to curly’s death,he ran out his tongue and laughed.He even bore malice to that innocent dog curly in their first and last encounter.Thirdly,he was cold and calculating even in his supreme moods.He snatched at every chance to nip his potential contender, buck, in the bud.Spitz symbolized the cruel but competent commander in reality.Spitz acted as a spur to push buck forward.The second one is John Thornton.The show of John Thornton marked the final struggle between humanity and the wild spirit.Firstly,he gave buck selfless love that buck never had before.With the Judge's son, hunting and tramping, it had been a working partnership;with the Judges's grandsons, a sort of pompous guardianship;and with the Judge himself, a stately and dignified friendship.But love that was feverish and burning, that was adoration, that was madness, it had taken John Thornton toarouse.John Thornton had saved buck’s life, which was something;but, further, he was the ideal master.Other men saw to the welfare of their dogs from a sense of duty and business expediency;he saw to the welfare of his as if they were his own children, because he could not help it.John Thornton gave buck a kind of love that only consists in human beings.That’s why buck rewarded Thornton extremely faith and trust.When Thornton commanded buck to jump into the cliff,buck jumped without hesitation.The next instant he was grappling with Buck on the extreme edge, while Hans and Pete were dragging them back into safety.Buck had utterly faith and obedience in him.Secondly, Thornton Stimu lated buck’s potential via love and encouragement.In the heated competition,twenty fifty-pound sacks of flour was an impossible load for other dogs that didn’t have a beloved master like thornton,but not for buck.Thirdly, Thornton was buck’s last connectio n with human beings.Buck had great affection for Thornton.For a long time after his rescue, Buck did not like Thornton to get out of his sight.From the moment he left the tent to when he entered it again, Buck would follow at his heels.His transient masters since he had come into the Northland had bred in him fear that no master could be permanent.He was afraid that Thornton would pass out of his life as Perrault and Francois and the Scotch half-breed had passed out.An instance could verfy this.Although so peremptorily did these shades of nature beckon him, that each day mankind and the claims of mankind slipped farther from him.The love for John Thornton drew him back to the fire again.Thornton alone held him.The rest of mankind was as nothing.Here is another proof.Buck and the timber wolf stopped by a running stream to drink, and, stopping, Buck rememberedJohn Thornton.He sat down,declining to proceed and holding steadily on his way back to thornton.Eventually,the death of Thornton left a great void in him,somewhat akin to hunger,but a void which ached and ached,and which food could not fill.John Thornton was dead.The warmth from humanity faded away.The last tie was broken.Man and the claims of man no longer bound him.The third one is Dave.Dave was indifferent at first.He desired to be left alone,asked nothing,gave nothing and expected nothing.These showed his loftiness,in line with his subsequent alternation.He was utterly transformed by the harness.All passiveness and unconcern had dropped from him.He was alert and active.The toil of the traces seemed the supreme expression of his being, and all that he lived for and the only thing in which they took delight.Though seemingly indifferent,he has his pride in work,which could prove his being.Dave was a dog of dignity.Plastered by certain unknowing pain,he strove to leap inside his trace and pleaded with his eyes to remain in his own position.Although injured and too old for the toil,it’s his pride to die in the traces,heart-easy and content.He stood on his dignity to the last gasp.Dave merited our respect.He represented the kind of people who seemingly paid no heed to the external world,but assumed the liability in peril.The fourth one is the fifty huskies.They were neither the strongest,nor the weakest.They obeyed the brutal principle that the weak are the prey of the strong.In buck’s final fight with spitz,once Buck went over, and the whole circle of fifty dogs started up;but he recovered himself, almost in mid air, and the circle sank down again and waited.The fifty huskies symbolized the greedy numb ordinary people.They were cold and detached onlooker,just like the indifferent onlooker in Mistress Xiang Lin.The sixth one was Nig andskeet.Nig and skeet were extinct in the novel.They had the generosity and kindness like their master Thornton.Nig had the doctor trait which some dogs possess;and as a mother cat washes her kittens,so she washed and cleaned buck’s wounds.Each morning,she performed her self-appointed task.Skeet had eyes that laughed and a boundless good nature.Maybe,this kind of good nature came from his master.The mildness existed in them didn’t conceal their good nature.Nig was lying on the ground, dead where he had dragged himself, an arrow protruding, head and feathers from either side of his body.This was the bloody scene that Nig passed away.She fought to the last gasp.Nig,Skeet and their master Thornton consisted a vestige of civilized warmth in Buck’s harsh life.When they passed away,the instinct featured.The last one is the main character Buck.He was an extraordinary exception.Unlike ordinary southland dogs,they were too soft, dying under the toil,the frost,and the starvation.Buck fitted to survive in the hostile northland environment.It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meant swift and terrible death.It marked further the decay or going to pieces of his moral nature, a vain thing and a handicap in the ruthless struggle for existence.Physically,He alone endured and prospered,matching the husky in strength,savagery,and cunning.His muscles became hard as iron,and he grew callous to all ordinary pain.He lost his fastidiousness and could eat anything,and once eaten,digest utterly and swiftly.His sight and scent became remarkably keen.Memtally,He was a masterful dog,no longer have blind pluck and rashness.Firstly,he mastered the art of dog relationship.He sacured the offending Pike deliberately,thoughfailed and interfered between Spitz and the culprits to provoke a general insubordination.Insidious revolt led by Buck destroyed the solidary of the team.Buck backed up the reminder of the team.All these strategies finally led to his unshakable leadership on the team.Secondly,Buck was agile learner built to withstand regular disruptionHe learned from direct lesson,such as lessen from club and fang.Buck remembered the man in the red sweater, and retreated slowly;not did he attempt to charge in when Sol-leks was once more brought forward.Another Lessen,from spitz and the chief fighting dogs of the police,was to be merciless ,never drawing back from a foe.No middle course,master or be mastered.He also learned from indirect experience,the death of kind-hearted curly.The abrupt assault made him act timid to avoid fight in his rising power period.Thirdly,he is fully competent.Buck took up the duties of leadership;and where judgment was required, and quick thinking and quick acting, he showed himself the superior even of Spitz, of whom Francois had never seen an equal.Buck recalled the nature and instinct enshrined in him.The strain of the primitive,which the northland had aroused in him,remained alive and active,never leave him.Four instincts appeared.First,he found pride from trail and trace made buck’s clash of leadership, from running free in the open,the unpacked earth underfoot,the wild sky overhead.He proved one’s vitality by running.Second,the blood lust,the joy to kill.He got satisfaction from Bloody conquest.The blood-longing became stronger than ever before.He was a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided,alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strong survived.Third,wildness and wiliness.Honesty wasa thing in a civilized society,not a thing of the wild.Buck could steal food when he almost starved to death.He did not steal for joy of it, but because of the clamour of his stomach.He did not rob openly, but stole secretly and cunningly, out of respect for club and fang.In short, the things he did were done because it was easier to do them than not to do them.Finally,he ducked his lofty head before survival.Fourth,he learned to be patient.There is a patience of the wild-dogged, tireless, persistent as life itself-that holds motionless for endless hours the spider in its web, the snake in its coils, the panther in its ambuscade;this patience belongs peculiarly to life when it hunts its living food;and it belonged to Buck as he clung to the flank of the herd, retarding its march.Above all,t he theme of the novel is buck’s return to nature.Buck’s life is just like man’s life,full of pain and struggle.I have read a great number of articles that feature the thought of the survival of the fittest in The Call of The Wild.Nevertheless,I find the Greek tragedy enshrined in this novel.First,the main character,Buck,is a dog,but an extraordinary exceptional dog.In fact,Buck finally became a wolfish dog and king in the wild.Just like those heroes in Greek-Roman mythology,they are human beings,but eminent human beings-heroes.Second,Buck’s life is stuffing with hardship and struggle,just like heroes’ life.Under the harsh environment,under the lash,under the club,buck enforced himself to adapt to the cruel changes.He had almost been battered to death by the man in the red sweater and bitten into pieces by the ferocious Spitz,until he mastered the skill of survival.He used his endurance and capability to smooth his thorny way.Third,after all the twists and turns,ups and downs,Buck had won to some extent.He recalled the insidious instinct.He responded to the call of the wild and returned to theobsessing forest as the identity of the king.Similarly,Archilles successfully revenged and led to the sack of Troy.Fourth,Buck lost the last vestige of warmth and happiness-his beloved master.His life had unforgettable regrets.At the end of the novel,when he mused for a time, howling once, long and mournfully on the spot that that Thornton was killed,no one could define the ending was a happy ending.In fact,it was a tragedy that brutally unfolded in front of us.While he acquired the skills for survival,he lost his last silver lining,left in a cold and sterile world.That’s why the wolfish long-drawn howl was half-sobs.They were endowed standouts.They went through the tortures of life.But,they had a bad ending.What did the Jack London and Greek want to express?To be a pessimist?No.The tragedy means the uncertainty of the road ahead of us,the inherent fear to the unknown external world.In this condition,all the effort we made should be complemented.Indeed,we were slight in confront with the Nature and the fate.Despite the humanity's insignificant place,no one can disdain the infinite defiance of us.Half-Sobs chant reveals the essence of life that life is a tragedy while wolfish howl praises the dauntless defiance of human beings.The Call of The Wild is a chant towards the great humanity.第二篇:读后感中国梦我的梦读《走复兴路圆中国梦》有感今天,我怀着激动的心情,拿着刚发下来的《走复兴路,圆中国梦》这本书,由此丰富了我对中国梦的解读。
《野性的呼唤》英文读后感
《野性的呼唤》英文读后感第一篇:《野性的呼唤》英文读后感A Review of The Call of The Wild After reading The Call of The Wild, I have a lot of feelings.First, the dogs in the book are all loyal to their masters.For example, a man makes a wager with Thornton over Buck's strength and devotion.Buck wins the bet by breaking a half-ton sled out of the frozen ground, then pulling it 100 yards by himself.In addition, all dogs have sense of honor.They are all proud of being sled dogs, and devote themselves to the work.For example, Dave, who is going to die, still insists on working.“Sick as he was, Dave resented being taken out, grunting and growling while the traces were unfastened and whimpering broken-heartedly when he saw Sol-leks(another dog)in the position he had held and served so long.For the pride of trace and trail was his, and, sick to death, he could not bear that another dog should do his work.”Both loyalty and honor are based on love which is what touches me deeply.Because of love to Thornton, Buck does such thing that seems impossible to accomplish.Because of sense of honor, Dave insists on working till he dies.And through Buck’s experiences living in the wild, Jack London wants to tell us that the world is dominated by those who are much stronger and more powerful than common people, and only the stronger ones could exist.This is the law of club and fang.Buck gradually realizes the law and begins to obey the law after he is stolen and taken to the wild.The savage environment which is full of tricks, dangers and deaths turns him to be more powerful and cunning.Finally, he becomes the leader of his team.Similar to the wild, our society becomes crueler and crueler, and living in the society becomesharder and harder.If you want to exist, to have a good life, you should be tough enough to stand the sufferings;you should keep alert, watch and learn;you should make yourself stronger than others.This is the law of living.As we know, Buck answers the call of and returns to the wild finally.In my opinion, the call is not from the wild though Buck often hears the howl of the wolves.Instead, it is from the bottom of Buck’s heart.The call is the will or the instinct which makes him want to be himself: A wolf.I think every one of us has a call in our hearts.The call is our dream, goal or something we really want to do.However, under the pressure of society, we often have to give up our dreams or goals, and do things we are unwilling to do.So we should learn something from Buck: Just follow the call, and be yourself!第二篇:野性的呼唤英文读后感Goethe said, “Reading good books is like a conversation with the man of noble.”Only if will you learn something about the writer,Jack London,you can follow the idea of his book, The Call of the Wild.Jack London was a very famous realistic writer.He was also a strong sailor and a war correspondent.He was born in 1876,San Francisco, California.It is believed that he is the illegitimate son of an astrologer whose name was William Chaney.His family was poor----no fixed occupations, and no fixed residence.So Jack had to take some time off to work and support his family.Jack’s extensive life experiences is very difficult.When he was 20, Jack entered the University of California.But he dropped out of school after only one semester because he didn’t have enough money to pay the tuition fee.In 1897, he went to Alaska to join the Gold Rush.Although didn’t getting much gold, he found lots of ideas for his books and stories.Then he went back home and began to write.In 1900, he put out of hisfirst novel----The Son of the Wolf,shocking the literary circle.From then on, with many of his new short novels published he began to have a place in the American literature ter Jack became the best-selling, highest paid and most popular American author of his time.Fifty-one of his books and hundreds of his articles had been published.His most notable books include The Call of the Wild which was published in 1903, belongs to the type which is about the life of the polar region.It is the book that we are talking about.His writings have been translated into many languages and to many of his works were widely read among the world.Most of his works are full of positive emotions including energetic, enjoying, enthusiastic, exhilarated and brave, and full of hardworking.As his writings were warmly welcomed and he became rich and famous when he was under thirty.But Jack London was not a happy man.In poor health.He took his own life in 1916.He was then only forty years old.Now let’s back to this book.It is a novel about a dog named Buck, a St.Bernard and Scotland shepherd dog hybrids.The difference is that Buck was the dog who didn’t live in human’s mythology nor as friend with men in human’s social.He was a dog living in a frozen and snow-covered land.He was a dog who shocks readers’ mind.Buck lived in a judge’s family in the southern,enjoying a rich life,accepting people's respect.But all his life changed after people found gold in the north.Burk faced his first rude treatment.He was sold to a guy in the red sweater.Then he was beaten and be in dead faint once again.After many times fell down he knew that there would have no way out to freedom in front of these people.I think the violence he faced was the key to his wild,to learn the low of jungle.If the key was the violence,the main body of the lesson was the life Buck leaved with hisfriends.It made the wild hidden in Buck gradually awake.Burk was soldagain.This time he joined in a sledding team.He got lots of ways of being while living with his new partners.Dog Parker taught him how to steal food to fill the stomach.In fact no one want to steal if one can make end one’s meet.From Dog Beeley he learned how to find water on the snow-land.Now I have to refer to a Dog Pitts who was the leader of the sledding team.It rememberd Buck the slaying skills.Buck was an enemy of Pitts,so he was offen defied by Pitts.At first,Buck forbore.On the one hand,he was learning how to live in the snow-land,learning how to slay.On the other hand,his red-bloody was resurrected by the Dog Pitts.Finally he beat Pitts.Once the wild rose,the call from the wild attracted Buck day and night.The call of the wild is spine-chilling,but Buck echoed happlily and excitedly.During a hunting Buck found it’s inte resting when he killed others.Finally,he became the King of the Wolf after he fought with many a wolf in the forest.The way to success of Buck is like a man’s transformation.He finally became a king of the wild from a cute puppy dog is because of his loyalty, patience and ambition.The Loyalty.Loyalty is dogs first advantage,Buck is no exception.Because of his loyalty he could live to meet his the most anticipated master.The loyalty to his master gave him a way to improve himself,so he could be a king dog finally.The patience.Buck had a great patience.It made him change the role and help him quickly adapt to the new environment.He patient all the violence.Finally he defeated the last king-dog.The ambition.Maybe the ambition is not a commendatory term,but there will not be a more appropriate word to describe him.With his ambition,Buck didn’t reconciled to be a third-class dog.So he won,though he paid the bloody price,to be the king-dog.Hewas driven to be the best by his ambition.Maybe the the intensity of competition and social cruelty is the wild of human beings in modern world.It is wild that brings the desire to conquer all the world.Like Buck,when all the things in the world told him there are only 2things—to conquer and be conquered, the indomitable spirit from the heart was recalled cause he knew that it was the way of being.In today's competitive world the line that separates a hit from a flop is thin.Man can never stop to have a little hesitate.We can only valiantly accepted the challenge,then conquer it.But the wild is not only bloodiness,it also brings deep friendship.When Buck’s last master John died,he cried into the air,sadly and loyalty.The love between Buck and John is the other side of the wild.What I want to say is life and the world is complex,the complexity is because of its wild—the original ingredient of the world.It brings the world to life and push it to the hell.It is WILD.It has loyal,it has cunning;it has love,it has enmity;it brings life,it destroys one’s life.Let it go,it is the real life,beautiful and flossy.It will live on and never leave.That is the WILD.第三篇:野性的呼唤英文读后感The call of the wildIt tells a story about a gigantic dog who was called Buck.It was stolen from a rich and comfortable home by the man who was in debt.Then buck was forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog(阿拉斯加雪橇犬).Buck encountered his true owner John Thornton who is very friendly and kindhearted after a long terrify life.Finally, John’s incidental death break Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into the call of the wild.In this story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild.Buck will eventually leave John one day even if theincidental death does not happen to John.Buck just wanted to help his master finish the gold-rush-trip when the wild comes to his mild.‘From then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of fight, did not to stay him(John)’.Buck wished to remember John’ image forever.I could not hold my tears bursting.Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man.He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man.Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death.I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but what I know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.It is Jack London who let us into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city.There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life.What is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? It is thought-provoking. 第四篇:野性的呼唤英文读后感1.London's classic tale of survival, about a gentle California dog's gradual transformation into a fierce arctic predator, calls for a robust, masculine reading.Because it is told from the dog's point of view, it also demands a narrator who can communicate the nuances of both animal and human emotion.2.At the beginning of this century, many new writers emerged with the introduction of many new ideas.Among them, Jack London wasthe most popular one.His most famous novel is the call of the wild.Although it is a story about a dog, Buck, it vividly depicts the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune.Buck, used to belong to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North.Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled.In the days of pulling a snow-sled, he learned to conform to the law of nature and obey the master.Finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the tough environment.This is the call of the wild.When you read the story, you will feel that Buck is a man instead of a dog, struggling with his fortune and conforming to the law of nature.Though short, it is really a thrilling story.What you never forget is the tough life in the nature, the brave and crafty dog.Maybe the wild is calling you to go ahead.While writing for only 16 years throughout his life, London produced an amazing body of work among which, White Fang, Martin Eden, the Valley of the Moon are representative.3.My Call of the Wild------Enlightenment of The Call of the Wild“ He sings a song of the younger world, which is thesong of the pack.”(Chapter VIIThe Sounding of the Wild)When the last sentence vanished from my eyes, I can stillperceive an echo of a song-a wild song, which knocks upmy dizzy mind that alwayscheerfully sink into the so-calledcivilized world without questioning.Wild, is no longer asymbol of the law of jungle but a headspring where streamsout love, passion, bravery, loyalty, friendship, venture, competition and tolerance all these virtues can easily befound in the Call of the Wild.Jack London(1876-1916)is a worldwide renowned novelist.His stories successfully reflect the contradictory views ofman’s nature and destinyin and against the wild, and his“fight to survive” notion has gained him and hisworks timeless popularity, particularly, the Call of the Wild.It tells a story of a gigantic dog, named Buck, who is stolen from a rich and comfortable home and forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog.Buck, at first, is too savage for the company of man until he coincidently encounters his beloved master-kindhearted John Thornton.Finally, John’s incidental death breaks Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him intohis long-desired wild with his pack.In the story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild.When it comes to Buck’s mind that oneday he will eventually leave John-his master, all he wants to do is just to help him finish the gold-rush-trip.He “from then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of flight, did not to stay him(John)…”(Chapter VII The Sounding of The Wild)Buck wished to remember John’s image forever, he “for two days and nights never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight.He followed him about at his work, watched him while saw him into blankets at night and out of them in the morning…”(Chapter VII)When I read these words I just could not hold my tears bursting.Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave andventurous man.He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man.Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death.I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but whatI know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.It is Jack London who plunges me into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city.There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life.Dare weimagine that Londonintentionally employs Buck to set us a model with perfectcharacters(count barbarity out)? The answer is affirmed.We, as animals, are from the wild but shedding off more and more wild signs, which demonstrate us as the “uncivilized”.However, who can fully guarantee that we have not overlookedsome essential wild-endowed virtues? Especially, nowadays, it seems more crucial for us to stop looking at the post-industrialized world and to ponder for a while.When cheats, betrayals, lies, lusts and crimes stuff a materialized society, whether Londonuses this novel to help himself escape the reality or warn the earthy people, to us, modern man, is all the same.It appears horrible that in modern society many people are enthusiasticallytalking about how to build up “special relations”to the authority, deceiving and lying to each other.T o themlife is a mask-wearing process rather than a hard work.Every time, you browse WebPages, scandals in politics, business, the entertainment circle and even on campus crowd into youreyes.Oh, what is the essence of human beings? What is thecivilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we thinkand to do what the consciences demand us to? Are we wastingtalents given by the mighty nature? Be an honest, straightforward, warmhearted, emotional and responsible man or be a shrewd, cold hearted and astute hypocrite? While embracing the “civilized” rubbish, we are losing those good virtues, which are the callsof the wild.Once we lose them, we are to loseourselves,and we will get nowhere.I wish this dreadful thought is totally a fallacy, but, now, it is chilling me hard.One day when I happen to stand on the top of a grand mountain to observe a boundless prairie enveloped by the sapphire firmament and combed by gusts of the rhythmical west wind, a morning sun sprinkles me her warmth and brilliance in a graceful way, however, at that moment, I am afraid that I cannot appreciate these beauties, I am a lost “ civilized man” then.Please, please do not let come true while we are still able to answer the call of the wild. 第五篇:野性的呼唤英文读后感Rules of LivingThe call of the wild is a story about a dog.However, the story also vividly describes the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune.Buck, a dog which was belonging to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North.Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled.In the days of pulling the snow-sled, he learned the rules of living—obedient to the law of nature and obeys the master.Only in this way, Buck can live.And finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the difficult environment.At the end of the story, Buck returned to the embrace of nature.This is all about The call of the wild.The competition which exists in the human society and the spirit what people have is a reflection of ancient wild.It brings a desire to conquer all things.Just like Buck, before he joins the team, he never thought about that he will be in a crowd of dogs and struggling to survive.But Buck is very brave in the tough days and never gives up.When he found he must be faced the rules of living, the unyielding wild in the deep of himself was quickly wake up.Well, in today's competitive society, the outcome just in a moment, It caused people can not havehesitation when we face to the every crisis, only to accept bravely, and eventually conquered crisis.So, I think Buck’s spirit is very worth for us to admiring, no matter how difficult the crisis or how bad the environment which we must be face to.But nowadays, many young people have rarely attack, frustration or achievements.They want to avoid all the things what they must be face to them in their future life.However, on their own road of growth, young people will encounter setbacks and difficulties inevitably.They also should overcome their shortcomings and give play to strong points with the indomitable will.And only in this way, young people will safety living in this competitive society, and never give up when they have any problems.In a word, we always want to know that in our life there will be happiness and safeness.And finally we will like Buck, experienced numerous setbacks, stride across the hardest problem and return to the hug of nature.We must believe our own ability all the time.。

TheCalloftheWild英文读后感
TheCalloftheWild英文读后感第一篇:The Call of the Wild英文读后感The Call of the WildThe Call of the Wild written by Jack London is the most wonderful novel I had ever read.This is also the first English novel of original work I had ever finished reading.It attracts me so much that I finished reading by one whole day.I was so absorbing in it that I even forget all the things which had troubled me those days.I can see the picture in the novel, I think I even can imagine the look of Buck, even every details on his face.The Call of the Wild published in 1903, and became the best seller during that time.Its background is the unexplored north areas of America and the Klondike strikes which dragged men from all the world into the frozen North to look for gold.These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil and fury coats to protect them from the frost.Buck was a victim during this gold rush, and he was sold to the dog dealers by Manuel, a gardener’s helper who is also a confirmed gambler.Buck used to live a happy life in Judge Miller’s place where he gained respect from all creeping, crawling things, humans included.However the long struggle journey, Buck was handed over a man in the red sweater.During his life in there, he learned the law of the club and fang and, which made him avoid many troubles.Then he was sold to the next tormentors or the masters—two Canada government mails deliveries and went to the frozen north and became a sled dog.Under the rugged environment, Buck learned many survival skills, such as how to sled, how to sleep at night with warmness, how to steal food without starvation.Buck learned the law of jungle and survival ofthe fittest.He fight with the ferocious lead dog—Spitz, and replaced his place by his wits and strength, and soon became a famous leader dog.After this delivery, Buck’s team were sold to three stupid and stubborn gold diggers from south who did not know how to control the dogs and continued to oppressing the dog which leaded some dogs’ death.Fortunately, Buck came across Thornton, another gold digger, who saved the dying Buck’s life from these three gold diggers.However, other dogs and their masters all died by dropping in the cold river while ignoring Thornton’s warning.Thornton loved Buck, and so did him.Buck felt a kind a happiness he never felt before even in Judge Miller’s place.During Thornton’s toil, Buck saved his life twice and once won his wager, and they became unbreakable friends.There was a call from the forest that attracted Buck so much that awaked his primitive wildness.While once during his hunting for a moose for four days, Thornton and his friends were killed by the Indians.Buck was so angry that killed some Indians for revenge.Finally he came back the forest and became a leader wolf, but he would go to cave and mourn his friend Thornton every year.Buck’s change from “humanity” to “wildness” was the result of a series of different grown experiences and the physical and mental adjustments to the environment.His successful change was because he was smart, perseverance, studious, ambitious and had a brief of never being defeated.He reached what he wanted with continuous and wisdom struggles.The novel also shows the author’s attitude towards the human civilization and his Darwinian theory which reveals the cruel oppression and exploit of capitalism.In capitalist society, no matter men or animals, they all have to keep continuous fights tosurvival, and the weaker will be eliminated and the winner can stay for the next competition.Through this novel, we can see the controversial thoughts in author’s minds that are the fight between the human civilization and the wildness, the primitiveness, but finally, the wildness won, as Buck echoed the call of the nature and came back the life of his ancestors.第二篇:英文读后感这部纪录片虚构了一位主人公,她是一个09年出生的名叫LUCY 的小女孩,在本世纪很快就要到来的数十年时间中,她以自己在美国本土的成长经历,带领大家见证了地球生态、经济、环境、人类社会的变迁。

theCalloftheWild英文读后感(共5篇)
theCalloftheWild英文读后感(共5篇)第一篇:the Call of the Wild英文读后感Abstract: I read The Call of the Wild during May Day, a novel by Jack London who was an American author.Buck, a domesticated dog living at a ranch in the Santa Clara valley of California is the novel's central character.Unfortunately, he is stolen by the gardener and sold into the brutal existence of an Alaskan sled dog.He reverts to atavistic traits.Buck has to adjust to, and survive, cruel treatments and fight to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate.He sheds the veneer of civilization, relying on primordial instincts and lessons he learns, to emerge as a leader in the wild at last.While reading the story of Buck, I shed tears of sorrow and sympathy, and was moved by great courage and the bravery he has shown in the face of every challenge.The only thing I can do is to cheer for him in silence and wish he can be stronger to fight with difficulties.From Buck, what I have learnt is to fight bravely and intellectually until the last minute in my life.And that is a great asset we should learn to gain.I choose the book to finish my book report just because I appreciate Buck very much.Key words: brave, perseverance, The Call of the Wild, survival, fightingFirst of all, I would like to mention the author Jack London when I share my views of The Call of the Wild.London was a passionateadvocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.[1]From his works, we can easily see that Jack London writes books in a wayof realism and naturalism.Also the reflection of naturalism is manifested in The Call of the Wild.With The Call of the Wild published in 1903, it made a reputation for London.As early as 1908 the novels was adapted to film and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations.The book secured London a place in the canon of America literature.The Call of the Wild is one of the masterpieces of Jack London, which was combined with his experiences in the north when he was engaged in looking for gold.[3]The story was written as a frontier adventure and in such a way that it worked well as a serial., it is good episodic writing that embodies the style of magazine adventure writing popular in that period.“It leaves us with satisfaction at its outcome, a story well and truly told,” As Doctorow points out h e said.As we can know(if you have read the book), Buck has a lot of excellent quality, such as loyalty, powerful, intelligence and valiant fighting.At the same time, Buck is thankful.He will return for someone who is good to him.Just like John Thornton, a man had saved his life and became his ideal master, Buck saves the guy’s live and protect him in all time.“For a long time after his rescue, Buck did not like Thornton to get out of his sight.”, ”At such times he would shake off sleep and creep through the chill to the flap of the tent, where he would stand and listen to the sound of his master’s breathing.”[4] You have to admit that you also feel warmly when you across these sentence.Here, I feel Buck’s endless love for his master.When John Thornton was killed, for the first time in his life he allowed passion to usurp cunning and reason, and it was because of his great love for John Thornton that he lost his head.I do not think Buck will go back forest if John Thornton did not lose his live.Perhaps this is oneaspect that Buck does better than most people.As far as I am concerned, you can lose everything, but a thankful heart.Heart of appreciation is of great significance in our lives.A grateful heart is full, it is happy!After a long honed metaphor, in the face of harsh persecution or against without weakness and fearless, Buck became stronger.Buck’s response to the call of the wild was actually the continued the process of mining process of their own potential.To survive, he fights with the cold weather;to survive, he fights with other dogs;to survive, he fights with human.With the fierce struggle and the ability to quickly adapt to the environment, he turns to be the strong.You would admire that Buck is excellent to pursuit life himself.However difficult, he pulls through in the end.He is the last winner.There is something we can learn from Buck’s world.The law of club is one of them.When Buck was forced to sell the new owner, he tried to fight in his own way to show his unwilling.However, the law of club forced him to surrender the principles of the master.Of course it is wise of him to do so.It makes readers feel he is not a dog, because it owns the quality and characteristics we human have.No one would be so stupid that he still try it on the occasions of weak.Even in the true world of human, many people will choose to show themselves forbearing and conciliatory for the sake of the common good.They would not parade their superiority and strive to outshine others.I really appreciate it when Buck acts likes that he is tame to avoid the club.Now, here comes the theme of the book.The themes are conveyed through London's use of symbolism and imagery which, accordingto Labor, vary in the different phases.The imagery andsymbolism in the first phase, to do with the journey and self-discovery, shows physical violence, with strong images of pain and blood.[2]In this novel, London wants to tell us that Buck is a symbol of the stronger.He reflects the world through the description of the dog world.In his eyes, Buck is a man who is brave and honest instead of a dog.Here the strongest man takes all, and strength alone knows conflict, weakness is below even defeat, and is born vanquished.So buck must be adhered to it at all times.Once he surrenders or is knocked down, he would be the underdog and governed by others or even be killed.Actually, the primary theme of the story is of survival and a return to primitivism.But we can grasp more in Buck’s world.Personal speaking, based on Buck’s tough life in the nature, it is e asy to associate with my future life in society.All kind of unknown difficulties is waiting for me.I am not sure if I can perform as well as Buck, but I certainly believe that I will try my best to face the challenges on the road of my life.What I want to be is the female strong, maybe not the strongest one.But I am able to calmly deal with my life, and that is enough.第二篇:英文读后感Book report on A Farewell to ArmsA Farewell to Arms was written by Earnest Miller Hemingway(July21, 1899—July2, 1962), who was an American writer and journalist.He was part of the 1920s expatriate community in Paris, and one of the veterans of World War one later known as “the lost generation”.He received the Pulitzer Price in 1953 for The Old Man and the Sea in literature in 1954.During his lifetime, Hemingway wrote many famous books such as Three stories and Ten Poems(1923), The Sun AlsoRises(1926), A Farewell to Arms(1929), For Whom the Bell Tolls(1940), The Old Man and the Sea(1953).Most of the protagonists in his novels are typically social men who exhibit an ideal described as “grace under pressure”.And many of his works are now considered classics of American literature.Earnest Hemingway’s 1929 novel, A Farewell to Arms, is often regarded as his best artistic achievement with 80,000 copies sold within the first four months.The novel is set in World War one, but it should be classified as a historical romance instead of a war novel.The love story circles around two people, Frederic Henry and Catherine Barkley.Frederic is a young American ambulance driver who volunteers for service with the Italian army in World War one.During his service, he falls in love with Catherine, who is a beautiful English nurse.At first, their relationship is just a game based on their respective purposes.However, later in the story, Frederic is wounded and sent to the American hospital where Catherine works.It is in that hospital that Frederic realizes his feelings for Catherine have become extremely evident.So their relationship further develops and they begin a passionate love affair.During a massive retreat from the Austrians and Germans, Frederic is forced to shoot an engineer and therefore falls into a dilemma.Tired of war, he decides to escape with Catherine and seclude from the annoying world.Having successfully escaped to Switzerland, they live in peace and harmony until the tragic end of Catherine’s pregnancy, during which both she and the child died.To Frederic, Catherine’s dead body is like a stature;he walks back to his hotel without figuring out a way to say goodbye, seemingly lost forever.In A Farewell to Arms, one of the themes of Frederic Henry’s adventure as an ambulance driver during World War one is identity.Identity is important to the story in thatit expresses the general question of the individual in the postwar world.People began doubting the values that war brought about.In order to escape from war, people tend to find different substitutes for relieving themselves, and love is one of them.However, the love tragedy between Frederic and Catherine proves that war is nothing more than the dark, murderous extension of a world that refuses to acknowledge, protect or preserve true love.第三篇:英文读后感篇一:老人与海英文读后感this year summer vacation, i read the american well-known writer hemingway's novel “ old person and sea ”.i extremely admire in the novel the senior fisherman's will, he let

little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before.At that time a fox appears.The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”,becomes his new friend.At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique becauseshe is his rose and tamed by him.From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot's advice, he goes back to his own

the author doesn't tell us the ending directly.Maybe it's more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.One of the important characters is the rose.Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot.In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy.On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him.The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds.On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up's world.The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot.I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before.Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year's life experience, it's like the stars in the sky that lit my heart.The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers.Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad –about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence.篇五:傲慢与偏见英文读后感The feeling of 《pride And prejudice》Then man treat great event

At the beginning of this century, many new writers emerged with the introduction of many new ideas. Among them, Jack London was the most popular one.His most famous novel is the call of the wild . Although it is a story about a dog, Buck, it vividly depicts the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune.Buck, used to belong to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North. Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled . In the days of pulling a snow-sled, he learned to conform to the law of nature and obey the master. Finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the tough environment. This is the call of the wild.When you read the story, you will feel that Buck is a man instead of a dog, struggling with his fortune and conforming to the law of nature.Though short, it is really a thrilling story. What you never forget is the tough life in the nature, the brave and crafty dog. Maybe the wild is calling you to go ahead.While writing for only 16 years throughout his life, London produced an amazing body of work among which, White Fang, Martin Eden, the Valley of the Moon are representative.In the 19th century ,the west of America was under cultivation .Hundreds of adventurers were moving to the west .At the same time ,it was said that gold had been found in large quantity in Northern California ,so thousands of people went to the west for gold .There were so many people ,but in the freezing cold North ,transportation was the biggest problem .At such situation ,dogs and sleds was the best choice ,so in the North ,dogs and sleds was the main transport tools then .Of course ,millions of dogs were needed urgently ,from thenon ,there were plenty of dogs like Buck began their unfortunate difficult journey life.The author Jack London was one of the members who went to the North for gold ,he went through the hardships of the journey himself ,witnessed the cruel and miserable life of dogs .According to his this experience ,the story of buck came into being.Main idea of the storyThere was a dog named Buck ,who lived a comfortable and pleasant life at a Judge Miller ‘s house in the warm South .Here ,Buck was a leader ,he in charge of Judge ‘s house ,took care of Judge ‘s grandchil dren and ruled others dogs .We can say Buck had a happy time here . However ,Buck ‘s misfortune was coming .But Buck did not that at all.One day ,a gardener who worked for Judge took Buck out of the house when there were no people in home and sold Buck to a dog smuggler in secret .From then on ,Buck set foot on his miserable life .He was transferred from one to anther and under a bad condition allday ,he suffered from hunger ,cold ,various harm and pain .Sometimes ,Buck was beaten black and blue by human being .At the same time ,Buck must fight with other dog in order to stayalive ,finally ,Buck became very strong and made himself the leader of the whole dogteam .life was always going on like this for o while .Once during a journey ,Buck was nearly dead ,then he met his master Jhon Thorton .Thorton was a perfect person who came to Buck ‘s rescue and Buck deeply loved him forever .But one day ,Thorton was killed by Indians ,Buck lost his lover and he became nothing then .Finally ,Buck responded the call of the wild and became a wolf ,lived an early wild life as his ancestors .From loyal dog to cruel wolf ,there were several important things in Buck life .The law of club given by the man of red sweaterBuck just entered the Northen society ,he knew nothing about the world ,he behaved on his nature completely ,the man of red sweater gave him a club and let him know obeydience ,Buck learned this lesson for his whole life .Buck was very angry after his terrible experience ,he resisted stubbornly and treated the man in red sweater as enemy .(in fact ,the man was ) and was going to fight with him .But the short man of red sweater was more stronger .At the man ‘s club ,Buck was almost beaten to death .It was the first time that Buck had been hit by a man ,he was greatlyfrightened .However ,Buck was beaten ,not broken ,he had learned an important lesson and would never forget it .In his later life ,when such situation appeared ,Buck reacted immediately and got rid of quickly .Here we can say that Buck was clever but and wise ,he learned quickly from what he had experience and others .That is to say ,Buck has some learning spirit ,he could adapt everything rapidly and get less punishment .The Curly accidentBuck was shocked at a second time that was h is mate Curly’ death ,he witnessedthat .Curly was a good –natured dog ,she just wanted to make friends with others ,but she paid her life for that .The dog attacked Curly and other dogs immediately took part in the activity when Curly was down on the ground .Spitz also did that .It was a second first time that Buck had seen dogs fight like wolves .At a short moment ,a life no longer existed .Buck learned another lesson ,that was life in the North wasprimitive ,cruel,and no fair play ,once you were down on the ground ,it was the end ofyou .Here ,only the strong could survive ,one must be very careful ,the others around you might be your enemy and your opponent .I think in Buck ‘ life ,this point always plays an important role .For example ,he always kept calm minds about Spitz .On the other hand ,from the Curly accident ,Buck got a clear thought about Spitz ,in Buck ‘s later life ,Spitz was important .First ,Spitz was the leader of the whole team ,Buck had to follow him and avoid unnecessary conflict when he himself was not strong ,at the beginning ,it was impossible for Buck to defeat Spitz .So ,here Buck did a very goodjob .Second ,Spitz was a good rival for the strong ,the same for Buck .Spitz reserved Buck .As Chinese saying goes ,a strong opponen t make you strong too .So Buck ‘s achievement was closely related to Spitz .Things gradually changed .Buck was not a good –natured one any more ,he came to realized that he was strong enough and can do the same thing with Spitz ,he always did trouble for Spitz ,the other dogs also started challenged the authority of Spitz .But for Buck ,it was far more not enough ,for he wanted was the leadership of the team .The life or death fightThe final fight between Buck and Spitz came ,it was not a coincidence but anecessity .Both of them knew clearly in their inner heart ,so none of them tried to get away or avoid .They already had prepared it for a long time .At that moment ,who got the rabbit was no longer important at all .No one cared .The other dogs also knew it clearly ,at the last moment ,they all were silence and waited for something they had expected eagerly .Buck and Spitz completely understood what was going on . Whoever went down on the ground, their lives would come to an end immediately .At first, obviously Buck had no advantage at all ,he already wounded badly .But weknow ,Buck was always different ,he promptly changed and Spitz did not noticethat .Finally ,the battle came to an end with Spitz went down .The following other dogs would do ,Buck himself just stood far away saw what happened ,as he had witnessed what happened to Curly .It was Spitz who deserved such an end for only he took part in the death of Curly.Then Buck was a victor .First ,he revenged for Curly ,because he deeply hated Spitz since he saw Spitz ‘s behavior in the Curly accident .Second ,he defeated Spitz and he would become the leader that he desired for a long time .Finally ,the most important one ,he was a successful winner of the primitive life and he killed a living mate by himself ,and Buck felt that kind of feeling seemed to be good ,the hot blood made Buck so excited ,the strange feeling came from Buck ‘s nature that Buck got it from his ancestors ,but Buck did not understand what it meant on earth .In fact ,Buck walked a big step towards the wild ,in his inner heart , he was very curious about the wild and he was also interested in that .After the battle with Spitz ,Buck tried his efforts to get the leadership of the wholeteam ,he showed his ability to his ma sters and earned their praise .For a while ,Buck’s journey life was good ,he and his team mates made a world record for rapid speed .However ,the good things finally would came to an end .Buck met three terrible masters who had no travel experience at all ,they also knew nothing about the cruel Northern world .So Thorton came to Buck .For the love of a manDuring the long hard journey ,only 5 of dogs were left .All of them were dead tired ,Buck was no exception of it ,he suffered a lot and almost became a dead dog .When they came to Jhon Thorton’s camp ,like his other teammates ,Buck fell down on the ground and did not try to get his feet once more .In fact ,in Buck’s inner heart he already knew something terrible would be happen ,because the route for Buck was not strange ,he came there for several times .According to his former experience and sensitive sense ,Buck decided not get to his feet though he would be beaten to death .The master wanted Buck to get up ,he refused .Of course ,Buck knew the result of his behavior .The club came to Buck again and again ,Buck already lost conscious .At thattime ,Jhon Thorton came to Buck’s rescue ,it was a great opportunity for Buck and his fortune came .Here Buck got rid of his hard days ,his good quality in the South came to him again ,he got the true love of human being .Jhon Thorton did not like the person Buck had met before ,he was wise and had rich experience on life as well as on hard journey in the North .Of course ,Thorton also knew dogsand knew the m very well .For Buck ,Jhon Thorton absolutely was a good master .In Buck’s inner heart ,Thorton was the most important person to him ,he gave his true love to Thorton and he would try his biggest effort to protect Thorton from harm even if it cost his life .Thorton to Buck’s love ,Buck had never got it from other masters ,even though Judge Miller .Between Buck and Thorton ,there was a highly and specially agreement ,they could communicate with each other by a simple eye contact , Buck could get message from looking Thorton’s eyes .As Thorton himself once said ,sometimes he afraid of this love .So their relationship defeated anything and became the most important thing .There were several examples of this .First ,bad tempered”Black” Burton hit Thornton fo r something ,Buck saw that and jumped to Burton throat at once .Second ,in the fall of a year ,three partners were travelling on a narrow boat through fast and rocky waters ,Thorton fell into the streamwater ,the situation at that time was extremely dangerous ,Buck had jumped into action in an instant .When Thorn got saved at last ,Buck was nearly dead because of freezing cold .On seeing Buck was badly wounded in order to save himself ,Thorton moved totears .Besides ,Buck helped Thorton again in another different manner .All those things showed that Buck loved Thorton very much .If anything want to hurt Thorton ,no way .But things went to a wrong a way ,when Buck came back from outside ,he found that Thorton and other living things in their camp were killed by the YeehatIndians .Then ,Buck got mad ,a wave of great anger came over him ,he growled out loud with a terrible terrible sound but he himself did not know that he growled .”For the first time in his life he allowed his feeling to win over his cleverness and reason ,and it was because of his great love for Thorton that he lost his head .”Buck truly was a evil ,he killed the Yeehat Indians and revenged for his master .Then,Buck returned to the empty ,ruined camp .He found Thorton in the muddy pool ,there was a great emptiness in him that he never had before .Thorton was dead already .So ,there was nothing for Buck to leave and miss ,he was lonely again .At the same time ,Buck felt the call of the wild that striked him again andagain .So joining in his old brothers was a good choice for Buck .The fight with the leading mooseBuck lived alone and without help ,using his strength and power surviving in a hard and unfriendly environment where only the strong survived .Because of this ,Buck was proud of himself .So ,his longing for blood became stronger than ever ,he was a killer ,a thing that hunted other animals ,living on the things that lived .But Buck was not satisfied ,the animal he killed before were small and weak ,he wanted to challenged himself ,he needed a large strong one ,so the leading moose became his prey .During the battle with the leading moose ,Buck took full use of his power and cleverness .For ,Buck ,the battle was only an experiment ,but he wanted to know how strong he earth was and what kind of enemy he could not defeat ,the battle gave him an opportunity to fight with a real wild creature .The battle also laid the foundation for Buck’s later life .From the fight with the leading moose ,we could see that Buck was completely a successful winner of the primitive life .When fighting ,Buck did not attackstraightly ,instead ,he used all kinds of methods to make the leading moose exhausted and feared .So ,what the leading moose wanted to do just was escaping ,for Buck ,he could defeatthe leading moose .Meanwhile ,during the fight ,he himself would not hurt badly .As Buck had expected ,he pulled the great moose down ,we can imagine that Buck was very satisfied with himself .In fact ,it was true .When Buck killed the moose ,he did not return at once .On the contrary ,he stayed by the kill for several days ,eating ,sleeping ,enjoyed his feast .Honestly ,it is the same with our humanbeing s .When we did something successful ,we also would lost our head ,wouldn’t it ?From those things Buck had ever through ,we can say Buck had all the good qualities of dogs or even more .For example ,Buck could adapt quickly ,we all know life from the South to the North was very different ,but Buck got it and was a successful survivor .As a man ,three were still other results ,the right example was Hal ,Charles and Mercedes ,they not only had no experience in travelling at all but they never learned from others and their lesson .So finally ,they all had taken away by the God .Beside ,from a loyal dog to a wolf ,humanbeing plays an important role ,from that ,we can say human may be the most selfish creature .So in the story ,Buck to Thorton’s love was very valuable ." He sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack." (Chapter VII The Sounding of the Wild) When the last sentence vanished from my eyes, I can still perceive an echo of a song - a wild song, which knocks up my dizzy mind that always cheerfully sink into the so-called civilized world without questioning. Wild, is no longer a symbol of the law of jungle but a headspring where streams out love, passion, bravery, loyalty, friendship, venture, competition and tolerance all these virtues can easily be found in the Call of the Wild.Jack London (1876-1916) is a worldwide renowned novelist. His stories successfully reflect the contradictory views of man’s nature and destiny in and against the wild, and his "fight to survive" notion has gained him and his works timeless popularity, particularly, the Call of the WildIt tells a story of a gigantic dog, named Buck, who is stolen from a rich and comfortable home and forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog. Buck, at first, is too savage for the company of man until he coincidently encounters his beloved master-kindhearted John Thornton. Finally, John’s incidental death breaks Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into his long-desired wild with his pack. In the story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild. When it comes to Buck’s mind that one day he will eventually leave John- his master, all he wants to do is just to help him finish the gold-rush-trip. He " from then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of flight, did not to stay him (John)…" (Chapter VII The Sounding of The Wild) Buck wished to remember John’s image forever, he "for two days and nights never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight. He followed him about at his work, watched him while saw him into blankets at night and out of them in the morning…" (Chapter VII) When I read these words I just could not hold my tears bursting. Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man. He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man. Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death. I do not know whether the persistence is the most vitalelement to make a man successful, but what I know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.It is Jack London who plunges me into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city. There, I merely cannot d eny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life. Dare we imagine that London intentionally employs Buck to set us a model with perfect characters (count barbarity out)? The answer is affirmed. We, as animals, are from the wild but shedding off more and more wild signs, which demonstrate us as the "uncivilized". However, who can fully guarantee that we have not overlooked some essential wild-endowed virtues? Especially, nowadays, it seems more crucial for us to stop looking at the post-industrialized world and to ponder for a while. When cheats, betrayals, lies, lusts and crimes stuff a materialized society, whether London uses this novel to help himself escape the reality or warn the earthy people, to us, modern man, is all the same.() It appears horrible that in modern society many people are enthusiastically talking about how to build up "special relations" to the authority, deceiving and lying to each other. To them life is a mask-wearing process rather than a hard work. Every time, you browse WebPages, scandals in politics, business, the entertainment circle and even on campus crowd into your eyes. Oh, what is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? Are we wasting talents given by the mighty nature? Be an honest, straightforward, warmhearted, emotional and responsible man or be a shrewd, cold hearted and astute hypocrite? While embracing the "civilized" rubbish, we are losing those good virtues, which are the calls of the wild. Once we lose them, we are to lose ourselves, and we will get nowhere. I wish this dreadful thought is totally a fallacy, but, now, it is chilling me hard. One day when I happen to stand on the top of a grand mountain to observe a boundless prairie enveloped by the sapphire firmament and combed by gusts of the rhythmical west wind, a morning sun sprinkles me her warmth and brilliance in a graceful way, however, at that moment, I am afraid that I cannot appreciate these beauties, I am a lost " civilized man" then.Please, please do not let come true while we are still able to answer the call of the wild.The Call of the Wild is London’s most-read book, and generally considered his best, the most masterpiece of his so-called “early period”. The story was set in 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at generous prices.Buck was a domestic dog in Judge Miller’s home and living a comfortable life until he was sold secretly by the poor gardener and became a sled dog. Buck was a Bernard dog weighed one hundred and forty pounds, tall, strong, and hea一vy muscled. He couldn’t accommodate to the harsh condition at first. And he wanted to fight, to escape, to go back to his cozy home, but in vain.The man in red taught him the law of stick and club-one must first adjust himself to his surroundings and learn the rules, and only after that he can do what he wants to do. The club of the man in red called back Buck’s nature as a dog.When he firstly served for Fran?ois and Perrault, two couriers, he showed his superiorability to adapt to the environment and his smartness to learn everything he wanted to learn. Curly’s death astonished him and taught him to be cautious. And before he had recovered from the shock caused by the tragic passing of Curly, he was harnessed as a sled dog and step by step wanted to be the leader. But the leading dog, Spitz, was already an excellent one, who also considered Buck as enemy and potential competitor. At last, when Spitz once punished him, hurling backward Buck, he knew the time had come. He killed Spitz and took his place.When they pulled into Dawson, Buck was sold as useless thing to three gold diggers, who weren’t veteran in sledding and even didn’t know how to get to their destination. Food was eaten up half way. So Charles, one of the three, decided to kill B uck when he couldn’t get up. However, when he aimed at Buck, John Thornton sprang upon him, knocked him down and told him that if Charles stroke Buck, Thornton would kill him.Thus, Thornton took Buck away. He was the only true friend of Buck. But Buck was a thing of the wild, especially when the calling of wolf from the hills. Once when he came back from hills, he found that Thornton was killed by Indians. What would you do if you were Buck when your beloved friend was killed? Buck became a nut and killed those headsmen and stayed with Thornton for two days and nights, never lea一ving Thornton out of his sight. And then a nearby wolf howl captures his ears, and he follows the sound to an approaching wolf pack, battling several of these creatures to prove his worth.“When the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, he may be seen running at the head of the back through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his followers, his great throat a bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.”There was a script about the sa一vage life in the frozen north of ice and snow. There were the unexplored north areas of America and the 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush which dragged men from the entire world into the hard wild to look for gold. There was a road where a gigantic dog like human fought his way to struggle in the wasteland. There was a civilized beast grew from mildness to wildness. And there came the call of the wild.The background and plotIn the 19th century, it was said that gold had been found in the Klondike area in Northern California of vast wilderness, so thousands of people rushed into this uncultivated ground to seek for gold and fortune, which needed a large quantity of dogs to support for the transportation. There came up Buck story which we can’t define it as luckiness or unluckiness.Buck, a dog weighed one hundred and forty pounds, tall, strong, and hea一vy muscled, lived a cozy and comfortable life in a rich family of a Judge named Miller, but was soled by evil gardener to two dog dealers and was took to Alaska as a sled dog.Led by his second masters, two governmental couriers, he studied how to pull a sled and how to live in this cruel world where needed more cunning beha一vior and less fake moral and courtesy. For example, he learned to sleep in the snow hole to get warmness from the clod nights, and he learned to thief bacon and food from his masters and neighboring camps, as well as that, he learned how to fight effectively and efficiently with his antagonists and survive of the combat about the dominant leader with Spitz. In addition to those, he also wentthrough the hardships in the toil on the ice layer, and he learned how to ob一tain the victory and stand on the wilderness which was beneficial to himself who can only fit the environment, but can’t defy the harness.After the arduous trace and trail, they finally reached the destination, and then, after a short break, dogs including Buck led by a Scotch half-breed man stepped again on the ice land with the Salt Water Mail. It was a hard trip and a monotonous life operating like machine that dogs must undertake the hea一ve pulling and poor condition where they were tired and short of weight. Buck’ partner, Da一ve who had something wrong inside suffered most of all, but pride as he was, pulling the sled was his holy missionary job which can fulfill his life and must be done until his death. However, the tough work was still continuous.Thirty days passes, by which time Buck and his mates found how really tired and weak they are until they arrived at the last town. They were in a wretched state, worn out and worn out, which was not the tiredness that came from a brief and excessive effort and can be recovered from some hours’ rest, but was the dead tiredness that came through the slow and prolonged strength drainage of months of toil and had to need a long vocation to evacuate. Nevertheless, only three days after they were bought by a family including a foolish woman, a callow and ignorant youngster, and a middle aged man with weak and watery eyes. Never mind of dog’s frazzle, the third masters tried their best to lash out at them with whip, but Buck was not under very good command and not proud and interested of this career. Until they reached at the camp of Thornton, with the natural instinct and extreme weariness, Buck tolerated the whip from his so called masters and refused to go ahead which was his luckiness to meet his last master, Thornton.Without doub一t, Thornton was a good master, full of wisdom, intelligence and love who can manage Buck’s life comfortably and in order. By the careful attendance form his new master, Buck was on his feet quickly and solidly. Filled with the loying love toward his master, Buck companied him, sa一ved his life for several times and helped him win the gambling party. Then, they faced into the East on an unknown trail to achieve where men and dogs as good as themselves has failed, as the call from the wild became stronger and stronger which attracted Buck to lea一ve the civilization to look for. The knife that cut out the bound of Buck between his masters was the master’s deaths which left a void in the dog’s heart and a strengthened calling from the wild. Buck, a civilized dog, finally went back to wolves after thousands of generation by singing a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.Survive of the fittestThe Call of the Wild abounded in Darwinism which advocated the evolutionism and natural selection theory.In the process of ha一ving to lea一ve the comfortable Miller’s house and adapt to the harsh primitive snowfield, Buck went through the changes from the mildness to wildness where he studied the law of club and fang and admitted the rule of failure without progress. “He had learned well the law of club and fang, and he never forewent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to death.” “He must master or be mastered,” “Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of time,he obeyed.”After analysis, we can find that related to the Darwinism, learning ability was an important factor of the victory of living of Buck. As a south dog living in the rich family and innocent environment, Buck was not wary of Manuel’s uncommon beha一vior, but situation has changed entirely after a period of barbaric life: he showed hostility to his all possible mates and took precaution of everything. As well as that, throwing away the moral standard and facing the death of starvation, Buck had an ability of thief. “This first theft marked Buck as fit to survive in the hostile Northland environment. It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would ha一ve meat swift and terrible death.” In addition to those, his muscles became hard as iron, and he grew dumb to all ordinary pain, and he can successful take full use of all the elements no matter internal or external. That’s the progressi on of Buck which can equip him with thick helmets from being hurt deeply and made him be the fittest.Not only did he learnt by experience, but instincts long dead became alive again. Maybe knowledge acquired by learning was Buck’s left hand, instincts h is right. Good pedigree set up his first sense of a tall, strong and muscular potential king, while the instinct helped him to learn fast and sa一ve his life. “It was no task for him to learn to fight with cut and slash and the quick wolf snap.” “They came to him without effort or discovery, as though they had been his always.”Buck changed as his living environment changed. With the change of environment, Buck, compared to the previous southern family dog that was mild and gentle, acquired many abilities and skills. He tried his best to live by becoming cunning, cold-blood, and cruel which make him step forward on the road of corpse and blood. Survive of the fittest which is demonstrated by adaptation to the environment and wielding the law to protect himself and attack on others made him roared on the top of the food chain and return to wolves.All what Buck has done was not due to his reason and thought, but due to his fit. He was fit to everything surrounding him unconsciously and put him to the new way of living quickly.“The theory, ‘Survival of the fittest’, is the law of biological evolution which implies that plants or animals adapt to the environment to survive or to die-it is the biological survival rule of brutal biosphere.” That is to say, th e key of this law is that those who can fit the environment can survive, on the contrary, those failed to fit would be obsolete under the rule of elimination.Peeping at Buck and his struggle, we can ha一ve a vision of us human that was also fighting in the battlefield with our mates and against our enemy. Filled with bustling stuff, we tried our best to stand on the top of right and authority only because that position would give us more materials and the sense of pride which we depended on to live. Flowers in the greenhouse didn’t know about the hardship of living, so they showed goodwill and send aroma to others; while life in the ice field where wind was blowing like knife and thick snow can bury people only showed a will of survive and cut up the useless goodness to wear on the coldness.We must do it because we had to do it. The pack of animal was like a society of people. Death and genocide would happen on us if we were not willing to fit the environment。

《野性的呼唤》英⽂读后感篇1 The Call of the Wild is London’s most-read book, and generally considered his best, the most masterpiece of his so-called “early period”。
The story was set in 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at generous prices. Buck was a domestic dog in Judge Miller’s home and living a comfortable life until he was sold secretly by the poor gardener and became a sled dog. Buck was a Bernard dog weighed one hundred and forty pounds, tall, strong, and hea⼀vy muscled. He couldn’t accommodate to the harsh condition at first. And he wanted to fight, to escape, to go back to his cozy home, but in vain. The man in red taught him the law of stick and club—one must first adjust himself to his surroundings and learn the rules, and only after that he can do what he wants to do. The club of the man in red called back Buck’s nature as a dog. When he firstly served for Fran?ois and Perrault, two couriers, he showed his superior ability to adapt to the environment and his smartness to learn everything he wanted to learn. Curly’s death astonished him and taught him to be cautious. And before he had recovered from the shock caused by the tragic passing of Curly, he was harnessed as a sled dog and step by step wanted to be the leader. But the leading dog, Spitz, was already an excellent one, who also considered Buck as enemy and potential competitor. At last, when Spitz once punished him, hurling backward Buck, he knew the time had come. He killed Spitz and took his place. When they pulled into Dawson, Buck was sold as useless thing to three gold diggers, who weren’t veteran in sledding and even didn’t know how to get to their destination. Food was eaten up half way. So Charles, one of the three, decided to kill Buck when he couldn’t get up. However, when he aimed at Buck, John Thornton sprang upon him, knocked him down and told him that if Charles stroke Buck, Thornton would kill him. Thus, Thornton took Buck away. He was the only true friend of Buck. But Buck was a thing of the wild, especially when the calling of wolf from the hills. Once when he came back from hills, he found that Thornton was killed by Indians. What would you do if you were Buck when your beloved friend was killed? Buck became a nut and killed those headsmen and stayed with Thornton for two days and nights, never lea⼀ving Thornton out of his sight. And then a nearby wolf howl captures his ears, and he follows the sound to an approaching wolf pack, battling several of these creatures to prove his worth. 《野性的呼唤》英⽂读后感篇2 “When the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, hemay be seen running at the head of the back through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his followers, his great throat a bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.” There was a script about the sa⼀vage life in the frozen north of ice and snow.

Survive of the fittest The Call of the Wild abounded in Darwinism which advocated the evolutionism and natural selection theory. In the process of ha⼀ving to lea⼀ve the comfortable Miller’s house and adapt to the harsh primitive snowfield, Buck went through the changes from the mildness to wildness where he studied the law of club and fang and admitted the rule of failure without progress. “He had learned well the law of club and fang, and he never forewent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to death.” “He must master or be mastered,” “Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of time, he obeyed.” After analysis, we can find that related to the Darwinism, learning ability was an important factor of the victory of living of Buck.

That’s the progression of Buck which can equip him with thick helmets from being hurt deeply and made him be the fittest. Not only did he learnt by experience, but instincts long dead became alive again. Maybe knowledge acquired by learning was Buck’s left hand, instincts his right. Good pedigree set up his first sense of a tall, strong and muscular potential king, while the instinct helped him to learn fast and sa⼀ve his life. “It was no task for him to learn to fight with cut and slash and the quick wolf snap.” “They came to him without effort or discovery, as though they had been his always.” Buck changed as his living environment changed.

All what Buck has done was not due to his reason and thought, but due to his fit. He was fit to everything surrounding him unconsciously and put him to the new way of living quickly. “The theory, ‘Survival of the fittest’, is the law of biological evolution which implies that plants or animals adapt to the environment to survive or to die—it is the biological survival rule of brutal biosphere.” That is to say, the key of this law is that those who can fit the environment can survive, on the contrary, those failed to fit would be obsolete under the rule of elimination. Peeping at Buck and his struggle, we can ha⼀ve a vision of us human that was also fighting in the battlefield with our mates and against our enemy. Filled with bustling stuff, we tried our best to stand on the top of right and authority only because that position would give us more materials and the sense of pride which we depended on to live. Flowers in the greenhouse didn’t know about the hardship of living, so they showed goodwill and send aroma to others; while life in the ice field where wind was blowing like knife and thick snow can bury people only showed a will of survive and cut up the useless goodness to wear on the coldness. We must do it because we had to do it. The pack of animal was like a society of people. Death and genocide would happen on us if we were not willing to fit the environment thoroughly. To dance with the shackle of survive of the fittest was the policy we should carry out forever, the reason why our human stood on the top of biologic chain, and the rule of living of every individual. My opinion on virtue and vice Some people had said virtue was the biggest treasure that human should obey. There is no doub ⼀t that kindness, loyalty, honor, love, companionship, sympathy, mercy, and other virtue should be followed. However, I argue that there is transformation between different virtue and even the virtue and vice. Showing the feature of three animals: dog, wolf and human, Buck was the bridge that connected the past and present. As the production of human civilization, dog was evolved from wolf and they would still howl on the wilderness if human didn’t raise and train them. Buck was a mirror from which we can see ourselves. Through this dog, writer told us that only in a place where sun darted its forth beams and everything was in order human will wear the coat of basic goodness, otherwise, kindness would be eliminated if it met with the club and fang. In the cruel process of primitive accumulation of capitalism, mercy and sympathy was not needed for those quality can lead to death of innocent people. In the period of survive of the fittest, life was not concerned with civilization, while wilderness was the real marrow of life and echoing for the wilderness was the beginning of revival. Buck realized that “Mercy did not exist in the primordial life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstanding made for death.” This phenomenon can be seen in dogs as well as human. Wilderness were calling for human and eliminating the kindness in human’s heart stealthily. In A Treatise of Human Nature, British philosopher Da⼀vid Hume has said moral came from human’s emotion and conscience but not rationality. The essence of moral existed in the perceptual knowledge, but not rational knowledge. Therefore, the reason why moral distinctions had the divisionof virtue and vice was that the judgment of moral came from human’s attitude toward their internal actions and external objects. The judgment of moral came from our interest appeal; that is to say, the judgment of moral came from what was good to us, but not what is good. Let us think the question that which direction of Buck’s change to a beast was, progression or retrogression? The answer was that we can’t answer because he survived due to that he threw away those so called virtue and carry out those so called villainy. All what Buck did was under the pressure of living, and he responded to the call of the wild only because he wanted to live. Maybe in the comfortable and civilized Judge’s house, he would stick to the standard of moral and protect the respect of Judge’s riding whip by dying under his whip. But in this cold field, sticking to those so called moral was a fool. Possibly in this kind of world, brutality, cold-bloodedness, cunning and so on was the moral. The division of virtue and vice was the refection of the division of civilization and wilderness to some degree. Maybe we can’t define what moral was and what vice was now in some scene, but we can try to last for enough time to seek for the answer. Run after the free life The call from the wild stood for human’s nature to run after a simple, independent and free life. Buck was bored of the complex life where he must deal with such a big net of relationship. He just wanted to run and leap through the forest, howled under the grey moonlight, ate what he liked and killed what he liked without many rules to obey. No one desired to live a complicated life for it’s difficult and tiring to reckon other people, while life in the wilderness was just that eat or eaten, kill or killed and there was no middle ground. Easy and simple life was set up on the uncivilized world where creatures didn’t ha⼀ve so much relation and elements to consider. Only being independent from all that can we find what we wanted. When unpracticed Charles and his relatives sunk in a ice hole, writer said that “A yawning hole was all that was to be seen.” That hole was a capitalistic vast mouth that can eat people, but which would be rotten if we escaped from it. “Here a yellow stream flows from rotted moose—hide sacks and sinks into the ground, with long grasses growing through it and vegetable mould overrunning it and hiding its yellow from the sun.” The gold that Thornton got has become a yellow stream because they were eroded by natural power and lost their value. Imagine in a world where was entirely natural and uncivilized, gold, a kind of iron and currency, was entirely futile, isn’t it? Being free of human world and even free of materials, Buck got a totally new life where he can run at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight to release his vitality and got comfort from nature. We needed materials actually, but material was void actually. How can we get free? To get free of our hearts. Conclusion There are two sentences I’d like to mention. First, human beings, never degenerate into beasts. Second, beasts, never degenerate into human beings. Correctness of those two sentences should be discussed. Human’s progression began in the point when human beings evolved from wilderness period tocivilization, but the retrogression also began at the point when people shared the feast of civilization. For us who are far away from the wilderness and raised and trained by civilization, this book gives us a new vision. Sometimes a picture floating in my mind: in the icy forest, a silhouette of Buck as a wolf caned his neck to howl toward the pale moonlight to echo the howling of pack. That’s the song of animal, and the chant of human, and the snarl of life. 《野性的呼唤》英⽂读后感篇3 " He sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack." (Chapter VII The Sounding of the Wild) When the last sentence vanished from my eyes, I can still perceive an echo of a song - a wild song, which knocks up my dizzy mind that always cheerfully sink into the so-called civilized world without questioning. Wild, is no longer a symbol of the law of jungle but a headspring where streams out love, passion, bravery, loyalty, friendship, venture, competition and tolerance all these virtues can easily be found in the Call of the Wild. Jack London (1876-1916) is a worldwide renowned novelist. His stories successfully reflect the contradictory views of man’s nature and destiny in and against the wild, and his "fight to survive" notion has gained him and his works timeless popularity, particularly, the Call of the Wild It tells a story of a gigantic dog, named Buck, who is stolen from a rich and comfortable home and forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog. Buck, at first, is too savage for the company of man until he coincidently encounters his beloved master-kindhearted John Thornton. Finally, John’s incidental death breaks Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into his long-desired wild with his pack. In the story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild. When it comes to Buck’s mind that one day he will eventually leave John- his master, all he wants to do is just to help him finish the gold-rush-trip. He " from then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of flight, did not to stay him (John)…" (Chapter VII The Sounding of The Wild) Buck wished to remember John’s image forever, he "for two days and nights never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight. He followed him about at his work, watched him while saw him into blankets at night and out of them in the morning…" (Chapter VII) When I read these words I just could not hold my tears bursting. Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man. He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man. Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death. I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but what I know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it. It is Jack London who plunges me into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city. There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life. Dare we imagine that London intentionally employs Buck to set us a model with perfect characters (count barbarity out)? The answer is affirmed. We, as animals, are from the wild but shedding off more and more wild signs, which demonstrate us as the "uncivilized". However, who can fully guarantee that we have not overlooked some essential wild-endowed virtues? Especially, nowadays, it seems more crucial for us to stop looking at the post-industrialized world and to ponder for a while. When cheats,betrayals, lies, lusts and crimes stuff a materialized society, whether London uses this novel to help himself escape the reality or warn the earthy people, to us, modern man, is all the same.() It appears horrible that in modern society many people are enthusiastically talking about how to build up "special relations" to the authority, deceiving and lying to each other. To them life is a mask-wearing process rather than a hard work. Every time, you browse WebPages, scandals in politics, business, the entertainment circle and even on campus crowd into your eyes. Oh, what is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? Are we wasting talents given by the mighty nature? Be an honest, straightforward, warmhearted, emotional and responsible man or be a shrewd, cold hearted and astute hypocrite? While embracing the "civilized" rubbish, we are losing those good virtues, which are the calls of the wild. Once we lose them, we are to lose ourselves, and we will get nowhere. I wish this dreadful thought is totally a fallacy, but, now, it is chilling me hard. One day when I happen to stand on the top of a grand mountain to observe a boundless prairie enveloped by the sapphire firmament and combed by gusts of the rhythmical west wind, a morning sun sprinkles me her warmth and brilliance in a graceful way, however, at that moment, I am afraid that I cannot appreciate these beauties, I am a lost " civilized man" then. 《野性的呼唤》英⽂读后感篇4 Book review: The call of the wild As a type of novelette, I wasnt used to this cos Ive just finished HarryPotter so in occasions novelette wrote very briefly. The background of the author was very poor, and precisely the time to seek gold. Part of the novel means to expose the hardness of dogs at that time. Men were crazy about gold, the main character, Buck, was stolen by a Gardener of a lawyer who owns Buck. The man with the red sweater taught him the law of clubs, this was a good beginning. The trading road led him at last to two couriers, who knew how to treat dogs. Then the dog team was traded to a three-people family who were seeking good in Alaska. But they didnt know how to treat dogs and at last dogs and men were drowned in the water, except Buck. He was picked up by a man. And eventually Buck was back to the wild—where his ancestors had been. In my opinion a good novel could make readers cry, yell, etc. I clenched my fist when the Family treated the dog team badly, and had a wonderful feeling when the man picked up Buck and treated him like his own son. It had feeling, this novel… 《野性的呼唤》英⽂读后感篇5 The story sounds like just a dog tale at first--a dog, Buck, is kidnapped from his comfortable life in California and sold as a sled dog for the Alaskan gold rush. While he endures the wilderness and the other dogs, Buck learns that survival comes only with tooth and fang. This lesson brings him very close to his forbears, the wolves. If you look deeper, Call of the Wild is as much a story of humans as it is a dog tale. Buck encounters various incompetent masters who try to break his spirit. Are we like this? But Buck also learns to trust a master who is gentle and gives love. We can be like this, too. Call of the Wild is not a story for the squeamish or very young. By involving us in the characters lives, Jack London tells the truth. It is a life-and-death war between the harsh land and the soul every day. There is blood, death, cruelty--but its the truth.。

关于《野性的呼唤》的英文读后感篇一:野性的呼唤读后感英文The Call Of The Wild reviewThe Gold Rush in the Yukon and Alaska has prompted the need for big, strong dogs who will be able to pull sleds over icy trails. Buck, a large animal living in the home of Judge Miller in Santa Clara, California, is exactly what the explorers want. He is an animal with human-like tendencies, intelligence, strength and dignity. Thus far he has enjoyed his civilized life with the occasional nature stroll or hunting trip. Manuel, a gardener’s helper with a penchant for gambling and a need for money, manages to kidnap Buck and sell him on the black market. He is given to a saloon-keeper and transported via train to the Northland. Throughout the ordeal, Buck is kept in a cage and becomes increasingly angry. He manages to badly bite one of his kidnappers. By the time he arrives at his destination, he has worked himself into a rage.The meeting with the Red Sweater and the painful encounters with his club push Buck into submission. He is not broken, but he knows better than to keep resisting, which can only result in his death. Once he is behaving correctly, Buck, along with Dave and Curly,two other dogs, is sold to Francois and Perrault, two agents of the Canadian government. They must bring the mail between Skaquay and Dawson, Alaska. While in camp, Curly is killed for trying to make friendly advances to another husky. Buck understands that this is the law of club and fang which dominates this new world. He resolves never to go down in that manner.Buck and Dave join a preexisting dog team led by Spitz, a bullying husky dog. The trail work begins immediately. Buck learns fast from the other dogs. In time he starts to become more wild, losing the domesticity imposed upon him in the Judge’s home. Tensions develop between him and Spitz. Buck is ready to be a leader, and looks to usurp Spitz’s power. While hunting a rabbit one night, the two end up in a fight to the death. Buck achieves mastery. When Francois attempts to place Sol-lek at the head of the team, Buck refuses to allow it. Even the appearance of a club does not faze him, for he has learned how to avoid it. When Francois allows him to take the position, he is amazed by Buck’s abilities. Buck begins to dream of an ancient world in which man and dog fought side by side to survive.After two round trips between towns, the dogs are exhausted and overworked. Francois and Perrault arevery proud of their team, having just set a record for their run. But they receive new orders and must bid the dogs goodby. Several Scottish “half-breeds”take charge of Buck and his other dogs. He does not have strong feelings for them, but they are good men and they care for the dogs. Buck’s dreams of the ancient world grow more vivid. The path is very difficult and men and dogs alike are growing weak. One day Dave shows so much pain that one of the men tries to get him to run behind the sled. He refuses so adamantly that the men give in and allow him to run himself out. The next morning they drive the sled away, then one man returns and shoots Dave.After this last trip, the Scottish men are told to sell the dogs and buy fresher ones. The team is sold to a group of tenderfoots -- Hal, Charles, and Mercedes -- looking to strike it rich. Theyhave no idea how to work with a dog team. In Hal’s eagerness to complete the trail, he terribly mistreats the dogs. His quiet brother-in-law Charles and weepy sister Mercedes only increase the difficulty. Hal’s incompetent handling of the rations leads them to run out of food for the dogs half-way through the trip. Starving and overworked, one by one the dogs start todie. The remnants pull into the camp of John Thornton. Buck refuses to rise when Hal wants to leave. After watching the cruel young man beat Buck repeatedly, John steps in and saves him by cutting him out of the harness. The rest of the team continues. Only a quarter-away, the sled falls through the ice, thinned by the sun, and dogs and humans perish together.Buck falls wildly in love with John Thornton, who immediately recognizes that Buck is one of a kind. Under John’s influence, comforted by his two other dogs Skeet and Nig, Buck begins to heal. He accomplishes a number of miraculous things for John, saving his life twice and winning a bet that allows him to pay off all his debts. He does not forget his visions of the primitive world, but he is happy at John’s side. Along with Hans and Pete, John’s partners, the dogs go on an expedition for a lost mine. The work on the trail, the daily hunting, are absolutely delightful for Buck. Though they don’t find the mind, they do find gold, and so there is no more work for the dogs to do. Buck ruminates once more on the call that he hears nightly in the forest.Eventually he starts to sleep away from the camp. He embraces his instincts and wild tendencies, killing hisown food and watching out for himself. Buck meets a wolf who befriends him and is quite sad when he returns to the camp. This pattern continues, until one day Buck returns to the camp to find everyone killed by the Yeehats, a Native American tribe. He flies into a rage at the death of beloved John, and kills all the men who do not run away from him. There is no more tie to mankind, so Buck returns to the forest and remains with a pack of wolves. Each year he visits to the valley where John Thornton died, mourning his lost, dearest friend.篇二:野性的呼唤(英文读后感300--400词)The self-awakening of a dog——reading The Call Of The WildBefore being trafficked by a deceitful gardener to the extremely cold Northland, Buck had everything that was provided by his cultured and wealthy owner. He was more a pet than an independent creature. To some extend, his unfortunate experience benefits him a lot because it shows what the real face of nature looks like and where his place should be. Situations are just the same when it comes to the teenagers nowadays.Living under other people’s will instead of their own , teenagers feel something missing from heart at times and they either turn to virtual world ,dreaming awaytheir time, or they are driven by the eagerness for profit and fame, always in a rush. To fill the emptiness, what we actually need is a desire for life. But If we haven’t struggled against unfair fate as Buck did, how will we value what we possess at present? If we don’t get in close contact with nature as our ancestors did, how can we understand the deep meaning conveyed by those classical literary works? That is where teenager’s trouble lies .And Buck showed us a great method.After a seemingly tough struggle, Buck managed to survive the bloody fight against wolves and return to embrace nature with complete freedom he won from the war. With his sense sharpened, Buck experienced more, and learned something else about nature’s way.As a matter of fact, for animals, it’s quite easy to make the change. For us human beings, although we are far more intelligent than any dog , it is also far more difficult for us to achieve self awakening as a consequence of internal and external obstacles. Now that we can not break away from society, absolute freedom keeps a distant dream. Now we are far from nature and have only limited freedom both physically and mentally. For one thing, we are losing wild nature. Unlike Buck, we are no longer able to run and jump aswe wish .Both our senses and skills are declining, which holds us from scrabbling for the amazing beauty of nature. For another, we are abusing violence as well as suffering from it at the same time. We force people to accept our own conceptions unconsciously even though they are unwilling to. We set every potential enemy up whole day and all night while in nature, even wolf and deer live in peace most of the time.But one thing is for sure .That is, whichever means we take, we will eventually find out what our natural state of mind is and have a good balance between humanity and wild nature. Then, we will be guaranteed much bigger happiness than Buck was.篇三:野性的呼唤英文读后感The call of the wildIt tells a story about a gigantic dog who was called Buck. It was stolen from a rich and comfortable home by the man who was in debt. Then buck was forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog(阿拉斯加雪橇犬).Buck encountered his true owner John Thornton who is very friendly and kindhearted after a long terrify life. Finally, John’s incidental death break Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into the call of the wild. In this story, Buck and John simply adopt themselvesto answer the call of the wild. Buck will eventually leave John one day even if the incidental death does not happen to John. Buck just wanted to help his master finish the gold-rush-trip when the wild comes to his mild.‘From then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of fight, did not to stay him (John)’. Buck wished to remember John’image forever. I could not hold my tears bursting. Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man. He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man. Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death. I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but what I know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.It is Jack London who let us into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city. There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaningof life. What is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? It is thought-provoking.《关于《野性的呼唤》的英文读后感》。

A Review of The Call of The WildAfter reading The Call of The Wild, I have a lot of feelings.First, the dogs in the book are all loyal to their masters. For example, a man makes a wager with Thornton over Buck's strength and devotion. Buck wins the bet by breaking a half-ton sled out of the frozen ground, then pulling it 100 yards by himself.In addition, all dogs have sense of honor. They are all proud of being sled dogs, and devote themselves to the work. For example, Dave, who is going to die, still insists on working. “Sick as he was, Dave resented being taken out, grunting and growling while the traces were unfastened and whimpering broken-heartedly when he saw Sol-leks (another dog) in the position he had held and served so long. For the pride of trace and trail was his, and, sick to death, he could not bear that another dog should do his work.”Both loyalty and honor are based on love which is what touches me deeply. Because of love to Thornton, Buck does such thing that seems impossible to accomplish. Because of sense of honor, Dave insists on working till he dies.And t hrough Buck’s experiences living in the wild, Jack London wants to tell us that the world is dominated by those who are much stronger and more powerful than common people, and only the strongerones could exist. This is the law of club and fang. Buck gradually realizes the law and begins to obey the law after he is stolen and taken to the wild. The savage environment which is full of tricks, dangers and deaths turns him to be more powerful and cunning. Finally, he becomes the leader of his team. Similar to the wild, our society becomes crueler and crueler, and living in the society becomes harder and harder. If you want to exist, to have a good life, you should be tough enough to stand the sufferings; you should keep alert, watch and learn; you should make yourself stronger than others. This is the law of living.As we know, Buck answers the call of and returns to the wild finally. In my opinion, the call is not from the wild though Buck often hears the howl of the wolves. Instead, it is from the bottom of Buck’s heart. The call is the will or the instinct which makes him want to be himself: A wolf.I think every one of us has a call in our hearts. The call is our dream, goal or something we really want to do. However, under the pressure of society, we often have to give up our dreams or goals, and do things we are unwilling to do. So we should learn something from Buck: Just follow the call, and be yourself!最新文件---------------- 仅供参考--------------------已改成-----------word文本 --------------------- 方便更改赠人玫瑰,手留余香。

Abstract: I read The Call of the Wild during May Day, a novel by Jack London who was an American author. Buck, a domesticated dog living at a ranch in the Santa Clara valley of California is the novel's central character. Unfortunately, he is stolen by the gardener and sold into the brutal existence of an Alaskan sled dog. He reverts to atavistic traits. Buck has to adjust to, and survive, cruel treatments and fight to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate. He sheds the veneer of civilization, relying on primordial instincts and lessons he learns, to emerge as a leader in the wild at last. While reading the story of Buck, I shed tears of sorrow and sympathy, and was moved by great courage and the bravery he has shown in the face of every challenge. The only thing I can do is to cheer for him in silence and wish he can be stronger to fight with difficulties. From Buck, what I have learnt is to fight bravely and intellectually until the last minute in my life. And that is a great asset we should learn to gain. I choose the book to finish my book report just because I appreciate Buck very much.Key words: brave, perseverance, The Call of the Wild, survival, fightingFirst of all, I would like to mention the author Jack London when I share my views of The Call of the Wild. London was a passionateadvocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes. [1]From his works, we can easily see that Jack London writes books in a way of realism and naturalism. Also the reflection of naturalism is manifested in The Call of the Wild. With The Call of the Wild published in 1903, it made a reputation for London. As early as 1908 the novels was adapted to film and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations. The book secured London a place in the canon of America literature. The Call of the Wild is one of the masterpieces of Jack London,whic h was combined with his experiences in the north when he was eng aged in looking for gold.[3]The story was written as a frontier adventure and in such a way that it worked well as a serial., it is good episodic writing that embodies the style of magazine adventure writing popular in that period. "It leaves us with satisfaction at its outcome, a story well and truly told," As Doctorow points out he said.As we can know (if you have read the book), Buck has a lot of excellent quality, such as loyalty, powerful, intelligence and valiant fighting. At the same time, Buck is thankful. He will return forsomeone who is good to him. Just like John Thornton, a man had saved his life and became his ideal master, Buck saves the guy’s live and protect him in all time. “For a long time after his rescue, Buck did not like Thornton to get out of his sight.”, ”At such times he would shake off sleep and creep through the chill to the flap of the tent, where he would stand and listen to the sound of his master’s breathing.”[4] You have to admit that you also feel warmly when you across these sentence. Here, I feel Buck’s endless love for his master. When John Thornton was killed, for the first time in his life he allowed passion to usurp cunning and reason, and it was because of his great love for John Thornton that he lost his head. I do not think Buck will go back forest if John Thornton did not lose his live. Perhaps this is one aspect that Buck does better than most people. As far as I am concerned, you can lose everything, but a thankful heart. Heart of appreciation is of great significance in our lives. A grateful heart is full, it is happy!After a long honed metaphor, in the face of harsh persecution or against without weakness and fearless, Buck became stronger. Buck’s response to the call of the wild was actually the continued the process of mining process of their own potential. To survive, he fights with the cold weather; to survive, he fights with other dogs;to survive, he fights with human.With the fierce struggle and the ability to quickly adapt to the environment, he turns to be the strong. You would admire that Buck is excellent to pursuit life himself. However difficult, he pulls through in the end. He is the last winner.There is something we can learn from Buck’s world. The law of club is one of them. When Buck was forced to sell the new owner, he tried to fight in his own way to show his unwilling. However, the law of club forced him to surrender the principles of the master. Of course it is wise of him to do so. It makes readers feel he is not a dog, because it owns the quality and characteristics we human have. No one would be so stupid that he still try it on the occasions of weak. Even in the true world of human, many people will choose to show themselves forbearing and conciliatory for the sake of the common good. They would not parade their superiority and strive to outshine others. I really appreciate it when Buck acts likes that he is tame to avoid the club.Now, here comes the theme of the book. The themes are conveyed through London's use of symbolism and imagery which, accordingto Labor, vary in the different phases. The imagery and symbolism in the first phase, to do with the journey and self-discovery, shows physical violence, with strong images of pain and blood. [2]In this novel, London wants to tell us that Buck is a symbol of the stronger. He reflects the world through the description of the dog world. In his eyes, Buck is a man who is brave and honest instead of a dog. Here the strongest man takes all, and strength alone knows conflict, weakness is below even defeat, and is born vanquished. So buck must be adhered to it at all times. Once he surrenders or is knocked down, he would be the underdog and governed by others or even be killed. Actually, the primary theme of the story is of survival and a return to primitivism. But we can grasp more in Buck’s world. Personal speaking, based on Buck’s tough life in the nature, it is easy to associate with my future life in society. All kind of unknown difficulties is waiting for me. I am not sure if I can perform as well as Buck, but I certainly believe that I will try my best to face the challenges on the road of my life.What I want to be is the female strong, maybe not the strongest one. But I am able to calmly deal with my life, and that is enough.。
