Novel Seminar: The Call of the Wild — Homework
No new reading this week -- review the whole novel and prepare your own position on the seminar's central question before your discussion.
- 1.State your position: is Buck's ending mainly a triumph, mainly a loss, or genuinely both? Give one piece of evidence.
- 2.Name one piece of evidence someone could use to argue the OPPOSITE position from yours.
- 3.Which earlier chapter's events best predict how the story would end? Explain your choice.
- 4.In four to six sentences, explain whether the book seems to think Buck's choice at the end is a happy one, using specific evidence rather than only your own opinion.
- 5.Write one genuine, unresolved question you still have about this novel after eight weeks of study.
