The Call of the Wild" (1903) and "White Fang" (1906) are world famous animal stories. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, The "Call of the Wild" is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie. Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, he triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. The story records the "decivilisation" of Buck as he answers "the call of the wild", an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds. In contrast, White Fang relates the tale of a wolf born and bred in the wild which is civilised by the master he comes to trust and love. The brutal world of the Klondike miners and their dogs is brilliantly evoked and Jack London's rendering of the sentient life of Buck and White Fang as they confront their destiny is enthralling and convincing. The deeper resonance of these
I had a very strange dream last week. I had to do my English homework. There were a lot of excercises to do and also I had to write an essay about my night dream. It was difficult for me to do because I usually don't remember my dreams. Well, I wrote something and got an excellent mark for this. Can you imagine how surprised I was, when yesterday my teacher of English gave me an assignment to write about my night dream?! But I know exactly what mark I am going to get!! У меня был странный сон на той неделе. Я должен был сделать д/з по английскому. Было много упражнений, а также я должен был написать сочинение про сон. Мне было трудно, т.к. я обычно не помню свои сны. Я что-то написал и получил отличную оценку за это. Представляете, как я был удивлен, когда вчера учитель английского задал написать сочинение про сон. Зато я точно знаю какую оценку получу:-))
