Theme Development: The Call Grows Louder — Homework
Think back across the whole novel so far and list moments connected to Buck's growing wildness before answering.
- 1.Define "atavism" in one sentence.
- 2.Name one early, small moment where Buck's wild instinct first stirs.
- 3.Name one later moment where that same instinct has grown stronger.
- 4.Explain in one or two sentences why tracking a theme across several escalating moments is more accurate than pointing only to the final moment.
- 5.In four to six sentences, write a full theme statement for The Call of the Wild -- a specific, arguable sentence, not just the single word "instinct."
