The Call of the Wild

�

Did You Know?

�

In The Call of the Wild, Jack London writes about his main character, the dog Buck, as if the dog were human. The formal name for giving human qualities to animals is anthropomorphism. This word comes from the Greek words for �human� and �form.� To anthropomorphize something is to give it human form, or human characteristics. London doesn�t have Buck speak or walk upright, but he does give the dog human thoughts and emotions. As humans, we relate to those thoughts and emotions and accept them. We identify closely with Buck because we feel the same anger, the same surprise, and the same fear.
