Read this excerpt from the call of the wild by jack london. here was neither peace, nor rest, nor a moment's safety. all was confusion and action, and every moment life and limb were in peril. there was imperative need to be constantly alert; for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. what does the excerpt reveal about the setting of the story? the lack of civilization is a persistent danger. the demanding schedule requires heavy labor. the hazardous equipment poses difficulty. the overpopulation causes disputes.
