The Call of the Wild, also known as The Call of the Wild, is a novella written by American author Jack London. The work continues the "survival" theme of Jack London's novels: life always gains meaning and strength in the process of constant struggle to survive. The work tells that Buck was originally a pet dog of Judge Miller's family. After a civilized education, he has been living in a warm valley in southern California. Later, he was sold to Alaska, the cold and remote northern United States, rich in gold, and became a sled dog. This work uses the experience of a dog to show that a dog in the civilized world returns to barbarism under the coercion of its owner. It is written about a dog and also reflects the human world. The work uses a dog as the protagonist, which to a certain extent challenges the concept of "man is the master of all things". The author is critical of human-centrism. In the film, the image of the dog is in stark contrast with the image of the human being. The dog is brave, kind, loyal, and has super adaptability and excellent leadership ability, while most of the human beings are hypocritical and cruel. In addition, excellent leadership skills, and most of the human beings are hypocritical and brutal. In The Call of the Wild, the author uses the third-person omniscient and omnipotent narrative perspective to tell the story, but the difference is that the story is sometimes told from the outside world, and sometimes the world is seen through the eyes of the novel's protagonist, Buck. The background description in the first chapter of the novel is narrated from the outside from an omniscient and omnipotent point of view; however, the author changes the narrative point of view in subsequent scenes, and the story is told from Buck's point of view from time to time. At the same time, the metaphorical world and symbolic artistic techniques are used in the film. "The Call of the Wild" is the story of the greatest dog of all time and an exploration of the strange and elusive motives in the deepest part of the human soul. The more civilized we become, the more terrified we become. Some people think that this is the story of a dog; some people think that this is the story of a wolf; but I think this is actually a story about vitality, all life should show their vitality under the blue sky, Free and beautiful.
