American Literature / Unit 12 AML 1115 short lesson, about 20 seconds
*The Call of the Wild* and *White Fang*
Captions available
The idea
The Call of the Wild takes a domestic dog stolen into the Klondike and follows him back toward the wild, and White Fang reverses the movement. Both treat instinct and environment as the forces that make a creature what it becomes.
In practice
One dog going wild; one coming in.
Where people slip
The pair are one argument, run twice.
