Call of the Wild

Jack London's Call of the Wild First brought to our attention in the year 1903 by a name that somehow jolts illusive memory but how can we recall something so long ago when we were never born, how then could we know? Perhaps nature revealed the need to study more black wolves upon our land reaching on to shore or was it but an interest to avoid daily routine the fascination of wolves that we have never seen? This calling of the wild could it be an illusion a mere excuse to escape then lost in delusion? whatever the reason feelings scream beware always be afraid of the wolf who isn't there!

Wolfs have been reintroduced into Yellowstone. But are dying off due to a parasitic mites... They are facinating to watch. In Phoenix Arizona coyotes run thru the subdivisions... When I see them I often think of their cousins the wolf... And John Wulf reminds me of them too...

great ending line: beware the wolf that isn't there. That was an incredible book in those days! I have only read the abbreviated form of it that we give to our ESL students! A good job on this one. I want to do Call of the Wild, but in a way that it has not been done . I gotta put my thinking hat on, Judy!!
