A lost world of life
—— About The Call of the Wild
Could you remember the excerpt of The Call of the Wild in our Extensive Reading I? Could you still remember the plot? Do you know where the call is from? That’s the very beginning of the Call of the Wild.
I choose this book for two reasons, that the beginning attracts me and that I once read a book about wolf family of three generations, which is an interesting story about the nature.

I have a special feeling about it, because i had spent a long quality time with a dog for about 12 years . Although he had dead for three years ,i still often think about him. I always believe that dogs are our friends,and they are very loyal, brilliant and special animal differed from other creatures.

——《野性的呼唤》读后感
学校：
班级：
姓名：
古老荒野的欲望在升腾
挣脱着习俗的束缚
再一次从他冬日的长眠中
唤醒野性不驯的旋律
——摘自《野性的呼唤》
深色木纹的书桌，一盏淡淡的清茶。懒洋洋的阳光与茶香交融，一切都凝结在摊开的白纸黑字之上。那里有舒适的火塘，也有寒冷的雪原；有暖暖的人与狗之情，也有挥鞭抽打的哗哗声；有人性，也有冷峻的野性之魂。这，就是杰克·伦敦的小说，深深震撼了每一位拜读者灵魂的，《野性的呼唤》。
开始阅读每一本书之前，我总会带来一杯茶。茶能保持读者的思维冷静，心静，从而更认真的去理解文章，品味文章，体会文章，这次也不列外。
当第一眼看到标题时，我就立刻给自己提了一个问题：野性，究竟是什么？随后，开始了野性之旅。
巴克原来是一头有着圣伯纳德犬和苏格兰牧羊犬混血血种 ，养尊处优的贵族犬 ，受着米勒法官的宠爱。可是不幸降临了，人们在北方发现了一种贵重的黄色金属——黄金，一拨又一拨的人涌向寒冷的北方淘金，他们需要大量的狗来拉雪橇。园丁的助手曼纽尔为了得到钱来养活家人，偷偷地把巴克卖了出去。一开始，一个红衣人在巴克挣扎时用大棒来“教育”它，而与弗朗索瓦在冰天雪地里的野外生存体验让它明白了“大棒和獠牙的法则”：为活而活，无论是偷盗还是强抢；与对手互相斗争绝不留情，否则死的就是自己。它有一个死对头名叫斯皮茨，它总是找它的麻烦。对于斯匹茨巴克总是处处忍让，尽量避免发生正面冲突。终于，怒火爆发了，巴克在战斗中杀死了斯皮茨，完成了野性回归的第二步。经过一段时间，巴克已经彻地完成了蜕变，已经没有任何仁义道德可言。它适应了北方残酷的生存法则，融入了充满兽性的弱肉强食的世界。它开始挑衅，为当上领头犬，并把狗群压制性管理得井井有条。主人不断的变化，但最终还是找到了一个真正关心巴克的约翰·桑顿。这是一段都么美好的日子！人与狗朋友般和谐相处。可同时，巴克也和林子里的狼交上了朋友，几次想奔到丛林里的巴克都被与约翰的情感所束缚。一次回家，巴克惊讶的发现约翰与他的朋友全部被耶哈兹人杀害了。愤怒的它再次激发了被压制的野性，撕裂了所有凶手的脖颈。再无牵挂的巴克奔入了令他魂牵梦萦的丛林，找到了狼朋友，凭借强横的实力当上了自由自在的狼王。不过它每年都回去约翰丧生的地方默哀。

It is a book written by Jack London , one of my favourite American writers , who intends to reflect the characteristics of humanity especially in the the period of gold rush by the image of an dog called Buck. Before entering the college , I have read the chinese vision of the book. And recently , I watched the film based on it . It is really wonderful . So I choose the book again.

In the firsr place , Buck lived in a happly life . He is the lovely pet of the Miller . He can get sufficient food everyday. We can even say that he has the same status as our human.
