answer:

i got this from shmoop , so you can't get mad at me for plagiarizing like other people.

explanation:

buck, a physically impressive (read: jacked) dog, is living the good life in california when he gets stolen and put into dog slavery. for him, this means pulling a ridiculously heavy sled through miles and miles of frozen ice with little or nothing to eat and frequent beatings—yeah, dog slavery is no joke.

because he's basically the definition of a domestic dog, buck's out of his element until he begins to adapt to his surroundings and learn from the other dogs. buck also starts having strange dreams about the primitive days of dogs and men, before the advent of cities or houses or culture. there are no rules or morality here (interesting, since buck’s first owner was a judge), save for what is called "the law of club and fang," a kill-or-be-killed, ruthless way of thinking.

buck becomes involved in a struggle for power with another dog, spitz. they end up fighting and buck wins, taking over as leader of the sled dog team. the team changes human management (new drivers) and the new people don't seem to be very competent. they’re bad drivers and end up killing everyone, including themselves. fortunately, buck's saved by a kind man named john thornton moments before the group death in an icy river.

buck becomes attached to thornton and even saves his life several times. buck sets off on a journey with his new master and several other men. he's loving his new life—except that he's racked with the primal urge to run off and kill things in the woods every once in a while.

buck fights with a conundrum: should he stay with kill things? be be wild? we're guessing, since you picked up a book called the call of the wild, that you already know which side is more seductive for our buckaroo buck.

at the end of call of the wild, thornton is killed by the yeehat tribe, and buck gets a heaping of revenge on the people that murder his master. but there's a silver lining—buck's now free to run with the wild dog only on the condition that he is leader, natch.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
