Call of the Wild


	Alright, might as well give you what you came for - you want the Iditarod stuff and here it is! Now, back to the book stuff -
Here is the dog/character handout we got in class (click): You can use this chart to keep up with the characters. Some key facts to keep up with: Chapter 1 - Into the Primitive Read it here Owner: Judge Miller Here are some questions asked during one ouf our earlier readings in this chapter (all questions will be found in order): Who stole Buck? What do you think "Frisco" means? What thing does the man use to train/break Buck? Buck doesn't respect the man, but fears the ____. The guy who talks funny and buys Buck. What is his name? Tell something about Curly and Dave. What is The Narwhal? Chapter 2 - The Law of Club and Fang Read it here Owner: François and Perrault Chapter 3 - The Dominant Primordial Beast Read it here Owner: François and Perrault This chapter has two themes. The first is how Buck is changing (a dynamic character). He is adapting to his new life and you get the idea that he will never be able to go back to the old lifestyle, even if he could. The other is that Buck and Spitz will have it out. As the chapter progresses, Buck and Spitz fight more and more and it keeps saying that they will have to fight to the finish. François and Perrault are talking together (not that you can understand their dialect) and each makes one of these two predictions: Spitz will kill Buck Buck will kill Spitz We can assume from the way it is written that it will indeed come down to one of these two. Here are the questions that we answered in class: Starting on page 47 in our book or where it says, “Seven days from the time…” 1. What has destroyed the team’s solidarity (their oneness)? 2. What did the dogs start chasing? 3. Which dog kills it? 4. Which is the more experienced and better fighter? 5. What are the other dogs waiting to do once there is a loser? 6. Who wins? 7.
