The Call of the Wild, written by Jack London and published in 1903 is the story of a dog, Buck, who must face the consequences of man´s greed and whose life gets changed when he is taken away from his quite and peaceful life in California. Being taken to the wilderness of Canada, faced with mistreatment, overwork and injustice, Buck ends becoming a wild animal who belongs with wolves inside the deep forests of Canada.

In question 5, the correct answer is B. In the beginning, Buck suffers the attacks of humans and attacks a human himself. The attack by the lead dog Spitz, does not come until Buck arrives in the Klondlike region of Canada.

Question 6. the correct answer indeed is A, man vs man. Thornton beats Hal for mistreating Buck. Thornton dislikes Hal for what he does to the dog.

Question 7. Correct answer is third person ominiscent. This is a type of narrator that is often used so that the reader can have a full view of the story and of the entire setting, as well as having full knowledge about the events taking place and the characters without depending on a character foretelling something.

Question 8. The correct answer is Falling action. Falling action is when after the climax, the story begins to resolve and tie loose ends, when the reader starts to understand all the elements of the story and make sense of all the action he/she has read. In this case, in the scene of Hal beating Buck, this event leads to the final portion of the story, which is Thornton attacking Hal, Buck becoming owned by Thornton and the events that follow from there until the resolution of the story, when Buck finds his calling in the wild with wolves after the loss of his last human master.

teacher smiles at the students who wait for his signal to sit down. he nods briefly and the students sit down and get ready for the lesson to start. there is an air of quiet expectancy when teacher refers to the unusual things found underneath their houses that morning. whispers of bags of rice ran among the students and a student muttered reluctantly that the rice is rent for the landlord. this starts off the discussion on the issue of paying rent for the use of the landowner’s land. da wan raises the question of why the landlord owns the land rather than the farmer although they have spent a lot of time farming it. the three reasons of labour, need and inheritance are listed as reasons for the landlord’s ownership of the land. they are discussed and dismissed as inadequate reasons. they suggested a system of collective farming to the farmers. the headmaster comes down the corridor to observe the lesson. teacher very quickly changed the lesson to a geography wesson. the students followed his cue and no one gave the slightest notice < of the headmaster ‘s presence. when the headmaster leaves, teacher explains the implications of winning the scholarship. it involves bearing respontsibilities and the scholarship holder should master what is useful and return to the village. he should understand the injustices in the present system and change it to a fairer system. then, he announces the wiimnuir of the scholarship to be dawan.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
