Response to Chapter 4 and 5

Do we need to form connections with others? Back up your claim not with personal anecdotes, but rather with stuff from Buck's life as written in the book.



Yes I believe that it is important to form connections with others. Buck was so much in shock when he got kidnapped. He really had no idea what to expect and wasn't sure if he would survive through everything. But Buck is very smart and he saw what other dogs were doing and followed as they did. He did keep to himself but he also formed connections with them in order for him to be able to survive. For example, he learned from them on how to be able to sleep comfortably and steal food with out anyone suspecting it was him. I dont think you necessarily need to communicate with someone else in order for you to form connections with people. Simple actions can mean a lot more sometimes than actual words. And it seems like Buck uses the other characters in the book to form his own connections with the humans. He wants the humans to see him as superior to everyone else. He is trying his hardest to be the best and to make a name for himself.

I agree, making connections to learn from others is a good point. everyone does it.

Totally, the entire book interrelates to each other.
