It was close and dry and dusty in the house of the gods. I
have said the magic was gone but that is not true-it had
gone from the magic things but it had not gone from the
place. I felt the spirits about me, weighing upon me. Nor
had I ever slept in a Dead Place before-and yet, tonight,
I must sleep there. When I thought of it, my tongue felt
dry in my throat, in spite of my wish for knowledge.
Almost I would have gone down again and faced the dogs,
but I did not.
I had not gone through all the rooms when the darkness
fell. When it fell, I went back to the big room looking over
the city and made fire. There was a place to make fire and
a box with wood in it, though I do not think they cooked
there. I wrapped myself in a floor-covering and slept in
front of the fire-I was very tired.
-"By the Waters of Babylon,"
Stephen Vincent Benet

Which sentences from part 1 of the call of the wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. he had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. he saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. that had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope around his neck.
