from pebbles on the shore
by a. g. gardiner (excerpt)
"nothing," said sam, mournfully. "i just sit and scratch my head over the
blessed paper, but nothing'll come. seems as though my head's as empty
as a drum."
"same here. 'tisn't like writing love-letters. when i was up to that game
"twas easy enough. when i got stuck i just put in half a page of crosses, and
that filled up fine. but writing to mother and the missus and sarah and jim
and the rest is different. you can't fill up with crosses. it would look ridiklus."
"it would," said sam.
then the train began to move, and the soldier in the train sank back on his
seat, took out a cigarette, and began to smoke. i found he had been twice
out at the front, and was now home on sick leave. he had been at the battle
of mons, through the retreat to the marne, the advance to the aisne, the first
battle of ypres, and the fighting at festubert. in a word, he had seen some
of the greatest events in the world's history, face to face, and yet he
confessed that when he came to writing a letter, even to his wife, he could
find nothing to say. he was in the position of the lady mentioned by horace
walpole, whose letter to her husband began and ended thus: "i write to you
because i have nothing to do: i finish because i have nothing to say."

Read the excerpt from part 3 of the call of the wild. but it was in giving the law and making his mates live up to it, that buck excelled. dave and sol-leks did not mind the change in leadership. it was none of their business. their business was to toil, and toil mightily, in the traces. so long as that were not interfered with, they did not care what happened. billee, the good-natured, could lead for all they cared, so long as he kept order. the rest of the team, however, had grown unruly during the last days of spitz, and their surprise was great now that buck proceeded to lick them into shape. what theme is most supported by the ideas in this excerpt? good leaders are strong and intelligent. loyalty can be a very powerful force. only the strong survive in the wilderness. we are all ruled by our natural instincts.
