When is a dog story much more than just a dog story? When the author means to portray with the story his personal philosophy about the quest of man and of his perception of God! London, in his personal despair, sees the struggle of man against overpowering odds in Buck, the dog who acts as one of the central characters. Set in the Alaskan gold rush of the 1890s, we are given unusual insight into the mind and heart of one without Christ, trying to make his way in the world that God created. A biblical response will be called for as the book is read and analyzed, as the student lears to delve more deeply into the themes beneath the surface. This CHC Reader's Guide helps students appreciate and understand the characters in a deeper light, the authors technique and a biblical analysis of world view. Questions focus on the character's identity and characterization, theme and setting, vocabulary and the authors technique in writing. Each question has the answer underneath. Recommended for Grades 4-8.
