10/30, Chapter 1 Response

After reading Chapter 1, write up a 250 word (at least) response to the question:


Does London's use of Buck help us challenge the ideas of human nature?  Does it even matter if we challenge human nature?  Explain by going into detail.  While you must respond to both points, you may focus in on one over the other.  

This post is due by 5:00 Tuesday, Nov. 4th.

i feel that it does help us challenge some ideas of human nature. the reason that i feel this way is that if we were put in the same situation as buck we would all do the same thing. what i mean by that is that buck was put in front of some people and a place that he was not familiar with at all. his first instinct just like mine would be to attack the first person that i see, and be filled with the up most anger and rage. the idea that humans aren't at all like animals is very untrue. we like most animals have the same reactions and patience as most animals.
