Final Post

Part One: Why does Buck seem to leave a loving home (notice the qualifier "seem")?
Part Two: What is calling you? In other words what is your "wild"?

I think Buck left his loving home because he has noticed that everytime he has something good in his life he seems to end up loosing it and he gets very hurt. He has been thrown into so many crazy situations that he unconciously starts to become wild and he feels as tho he is not happy in his home. He feels like the wild is calling out for him and he can not control his urges. He can't eat anything now but meat that he hunts on his own. His whole world has turned upside down. He has allowed all the bad things that have happened to him to consume him and make himself become more self-reliant. Now he never has to feel that hurt he felt everytime he had to leave something he got use to. Now he only relys on himself.
For me my wild was getting myself out of Minnesota. I am the first one in my family to really venture out on my own and get out of MN. I always knew that MN was not for me and I searched for a long time to find somewhere to go where I would have opportunities to support myself and learn to be more independant. Everyone told me that I wasn't going to make it and that I would be back home with in the first semester. But now I am almost done with my second semester and I have proven everyone wrong. My "wild" was being able to show everyone that I can make it and I can get out of MN and make something of myself. And for that I am quite proud!

I agree on your concept of Buck and how he sees life in his eyes.
