Jack London is a very creative and intelligent writer. All his books have life experience from his travels and adventures. Those travels helped him come up with the ideas of his award winning stories. Although he died at age forty he had many experiences that may seem unbelievable. Writing was only one of his many jobs that kept him occupied in life. London had a lonely childhood because of his parents that paid little to no attention to him. The only one who was actually there for him as a child was his pet dog. That’s why dogs are in most if not all of his stories. His love for dogs and his daughters kept him inspired to write books.

Buck changed that way because he heard “the call of the wild”; this proves that the environment and surroundings change you. Another example shared by London is how people who don’t work or do anything for them wind up dying because of their stupidity and ignorance to think some one should do everything for them. London’s story “In a Far Country” is the story where London shared this information. Although there are many more one of London’s best sellers has a quite nice one with a good outcome. One of London’s best sellers White Fang shares the story of a very poorly treated dog named White Fang is found by a sweet man named Weedon Scott. White Fang was tortured by a man called “Beauty” when found by Scott. Scott treated him with lots of love and caused a mean wolf to become a sweet, loving and protective house pet.
Survival:
Survival of the fittest, your survival depends on your instincts. London demonstrates this in many of his
