第一篇:comment(the call of the wild)野性的呼唤英文评论
Comment This novel was written by Jack London(1876-1916).He was born in a bankrupt farm family.He joined the team which headed for the gold in the cold north.Owing to these experiences, his stories demonstrate a strange but vast world where people struggle with nature.This novel is set in that amazing world too;it also sticks to the notion “fight to survive”.This novel is the great one in the great one in the novels about animals.The main character of this novel is a gentle California dog.This novel tells us how this gentle dog fights for life in the cold north and the unfriendly dogs.First, Buck was civilized and led a peaceful life.Unfortunately, he was sold to the chill world.Gradually he was adapted to this kind of life.He learned quickly.He knew that there was only the power that can bring him the happiness and safety.However his last master treated him very well and they became good friends finally.During his whole process of suffering and happiness, he played a role of indomitable soldier.He is also a runner who chased after his wildness and freedom.Sometimes he was not just a dog, he seemed to live like a man, a brave man.Another character who impressed me a lot is Buck’s last master.It was he who saved Buck’s life.He was not only a dog lover but also a brave and venturous man.He was kindhearted, straightforward and simple.He seemed to be the only human in that crazy world.He and Buck are the same and they are different from the characters in the novel.It can be said that he helped the Buck answer the call of the wild.Moreover, the novel uses the third person.It is better for the author to tell us the story.When I read the novel, I seemed to stand beside the Buck, watch him suffer the pain, struggle for life, respond the call of the wild.Obviously, this novel applies with the personification, which makes novel into a fiction one.The language in this novel is refined.Several scenes such as the dog’s struggles are very vivid.The author also utilized a lot of details, for example, the master let Buck wear his old shoes.Besides the characters and the language, the theme are also impressed me and drove me to think about the nature, the people and the life.Nature is the most justice one in the world.When we meet some disasters, we must take heart of grace and make great efforts to improve them.We should treat nature as our teacher, our parents and our friend.Everything in the world is equal.We, human being, are not the controller but the keeper.We may come back to nature, listen to the wild call and find our nature.

《野性的呼唤》读后感
杨鸿燕 外语系512英教2班 43号 由于对狗的喜爱,我曾经阅读过许多描写狗的小说;但最具震撼力的,无疑是美国作家杰克•伦敦的这部《野性的呼唤》。我第一次翻开时,那首凄凉而极富哲理的诗就深深震撼了我:“风俗的链条锁不住游牧部落跳跃的古老渴望;寒冬萧条,沉沉睡去,野性将唤醒凄厉的诗行。”
小说的主人公是一条狗,叫巴克。整个故事以阿拉斯加淘金热为背景,讲述了在北方险恶的环境下,巴克为了生存,如何从一条驯化的南方狗发展到似狗非狗、似狼非狼的野蛮状态的过程。巴克是一条硕大无比的杂交狗,它被人从南方主人家偷出来并卖掉,几经周折后开始踏上淘金的道路,成为一条拉雪橇的苦役犬。在残酷的驯服过程中,它意识到了公正与自然的法则;恶劣的生存环境让它懂得了狡猾与欺诈,后来它自己将狡猾与欺诈发挥到了让人望尘莫及的地步。经过残酷的、你死我活的斗争,它最后终于确立了领头狗的地位。在艰辛的拉雪橇途中,主人几经调换,巴克与最后的一位主人桑顿结下了难分难舍的深情厚谊。这位主人曾将他从极端繁重的苦役中解救出来,而它又多次营救了它的主人。最后,在它热爱的主人惨遭不幸后,它便走向了荒野,响应它这一路上多次聆听到的、非常向往的那种野性的呼唤,并且成为了狼群之首。
独特的是,作者并没有将它的遭遇讲得如何惊险离奇,只将它摆在一个多样的狗的群体中,在那个群体中它品尝到了真正的狗的生活,而作者便适时地在其中插入了巴克内心的野性的呼唤及逐步复苏,愈加清晰直到暴发。在它刚被拐卖时,它总是渴望回到原来的家,可每当它见到买下它的酒店老板,“每一次发自喉头的喊叫声都变成野性的咆哮,”而这只是根植在它内心的野性的首次而微小的展露而已,它的第一个主义用棍子教会了它如何服从,巴克选择了承认失败但不垮下,这也只是本性告诉他的适者生存而已;跟随第二个主人,它来到北方,它努力学会了许多生存的方式,开始退化,具备了最原始的狗的特征,“长期潜伏在他身上的自然本性又复苏了”祖先们把“古老的生活注在他体内”旧有的习性重又回到他身上,于是,“他仰起头,冲着星光发出狼一般的长嗥……”在这时,它的本性,野性已基本回来了,这是生活使然,接着,巴克的统治欲上升,它的狡猾、奸诈,使它成为狗队的首领,从而满足了它原始的欲望,它的记忆中,“它更为清晰的是因遗传而来的记忆”……已经退化的原始天性。
虽然巴克只是一条狗,但它艰苦卓绝的生存之路,反映了作家所生活的时代中的个人奋斗的真谛。这也是当时处于尔虞我诈的资本主义发展时期的美国社会所盛行的自然主义思潮的一种反映。它反映了达尔文的自然环境下“适者生存”的自然选择思想以及斯宾塞的社会进化论中的社会选择观。作者向我们揭示,在生存的道路上,在险恶的自然与社会环境下,只有精英与超人才有生存的可能。
在《野性的呼唤》中,我们发现狗与人之间关系的变化是随着人对待狗的态度的变化而贯穿整个故事始终的。但综观巴克的一生,它自始至终都没有得到过人类平等的尊重和爱。作家正是通过狗来折射人类的生活和行为,通过人对狗的善恶来揭示人性的美丑。作品表面是动物的悲鸣,实质是人性的呼喊,蕴含着人与动物之间的深情。
本性的复苏,在作者笔下循序渐进自然的协调使得整个故事一气呵成,让人欲罢不能,也正是这缓慢而有序的过程,使得这种呼唤有力而影响深远,使人不得不产生某种联想,想探究自己的本性,并想面对它。
生命是矛盾的,世界是复杂的。它有奸诈,也有忠诚;它有文明,也有野蛮。可是,这就是真实的人生,人生正因此而多彩,因此而灿烂,因此而生生不息……
第三篇:野性的呼唤英文读后感
Goethe said, “Reading good books is like a conversation with the man of noble.”Only if will you learn something about the writer,Jack London,you can follow the idea of his book, The Call of the Wild.Jack London was a very famous realistic writer.He was also a strong sailor and a war correspondent.He was born in 1876,San Francisco, California.It is believed that he is the illegitimate son of an astrologer whose name was William Chaney.His family was poor----no fixed occupations, and no fixed residence.So Jack had to take some time off to work and support his family.Jack’s extensive life experiences is very difficult.When he was 20, Jack entered the University of California.But he dropped out of school after only one semester because he didn’t have enough money to pay the tuition fee.In 1897, he went to Alaska to join the Gold Rush.Although didn’t getting much gold, he found lots of ideas for his books and stories.Then he went back home and began to write.In 1900, he put out of his first novel----The Son of the Wolf,shocking the literary circle.From then on, with many of his new short novels published he began to have a place in the American literature world.Later Jack became the best-selling, highest paid and most popular American author of his time.Fifty-one of his books and hundreds of his articles had been published.His most notable books include The Call of the Wild which was published in 1903, belongs to the type which is about the life of the polar region.It is the book that we are talking about.His writings have been translated into many languages and to many of his works were widely read among the world.Most of his works are full of positive emotions including energetic, enjoying, enthusiastic, exhilarated and brave, and full of hardworking.As his writings were warmly welcomed and he became rich and famous when he was under thirty.But Jack London was not a happy man.In poor health.He took his own life in 1916.He was then only forty years old.Now let’s back to this book.It is a novel about a dog named Buck, a St.Bernard and Scotland shepherd dog hybrids.The difference is that Buck was the dog who didn’t live in human’s mythology nor as friend with men in human’s social.He was a dog living in a frozen and snow-covered land.He was a dog who shocks readers’ mind.Buck lived in a judge’s family in the southern,enjoying a rich life,accepting people's respect.But all his life changed after people found gold in the north.Burk faced his first rude treatment.He was sold to a guy in the red sweater.Then he was beaten and be in dead faint once again.After many times fell down he knew that there would have no way out to freedom in front of these people.I think the violence he faced was the key to his wild,to learn the low of jungle.If the key was the violence,the main body of the lesson was the life Buck leaved with his friends.It made the wild hidden in Buck gradually awake.Burk was soldagain.This time he joined in a sledding team.He got lots of ways of being while living with his new partners.Dog Parker taught him how to steal food to fill the stomach.In fact no one want to steal if one can make end one’s meet.From Dog Beeley he learned how to find water on the snow-land.Now I have to refer to a Dog Pitts who was the leader of the sledding team.It rememberd Buck the slaying skills.Buck was an enemy of Pitts,so he was offen defied by Pitts.At first,Buck forbore.On the one hand,he was learning how to live in the snow-land,learning how to slay.On the other hand,his red-bloody was resurrected by the Dog Pitts.Finally he beat Pitts.Once the wild rose,the call from the wild attracted Buck day and night.The call of the wild is spine-chilling,but Buck echoed happlily and excitedly.During a hunting Buck found it’s interesting when he killed others.Finally,he became the King of the Wolf after he fought with many a wolf in the forest.The way to success of Buck is like a man’s transformation.He finally became a king of the wild from a cute puppy dog is because of his loyalty, patience and ambition.The Loyalty.Loyalty is dogs first advantage,Buck is no exception.Because of his loyalty he could live to meet his the most anticipated master.The loyalty to his master gave him a way to improve himself,so he could be a king dog finally.The patience.Buck had a great patience.It made him change the role and help him quickly adapt to the new environment.He patient all the violence.Finally he defeated the last king-dog.The ambition.Maybe the ambition is not a commendatory term,but there will not be a more appropriate word to describe him.With his ambition,Buck didn’t reconciled to be a third-class dog.So he won,though he paid the bloody price,to be the king-dog.He was driven to be the best by his ambition.Maybe the the intensity of competition and social cruelty is the wild of human beings in modern world.It is wild that brings the desire to conquer all the world.Like Buck,when all the things in the world told him there are only 2things—to conquer and be conquered, the indomitable spirit from the heart was recalled cause he knew that it was the way of being.In today's competitive world the line that separates a hit from a flop is thin.Man can never stop to have a little hesitate.We can only valiantly accepted the challenge,then conquer it.But the wild is not only bloodiness,it also brings deep friendship.When Buck’s last master John died,he cried into the air,sadly and loyalty.The love between Buck and John is the other side of the wild.What I want to say is life and the world is complex,the complexity is because of its wild—the original ingredient of the world.It brings the world to life and push it to the hell.It is WILD.It has loyal,it has cunning;it has love,it has enmity;it brings life,it destroys one’s life.Let it go,it is the real life,beautiful and flossy.It will live on and never leave.That is the WILD.
第四篇:野性的呼唤英文读后感
The call of the wild
It tells a story about a gigantic dog who was called Buck.It was stolen from a rich and comfortable home by the man who was in debt.Then buck was forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog(阿拉斯加雪橇犬).Buck encountered his true owner John Thornton who is very friendly and kindhearted after a long terrify life.Finally, John’s incidental death break Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him into the call of the wild.In this story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild.Buck will eventually leave John one day even if the incidental death does not happen to John.Buck just wanted to help his master finish the gold-rush-trip when the wild comes to his mild.‘From then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of fight, did not to stay him(John)’.Buck wished to remember John’ image forever.I could not hold my tears bursting.Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave and venturous man.He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man.Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death.I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but what I know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.It is Jack London who let us into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city.There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life.What is the essence of human beings? What is the civilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we think and to do what the consciences demand us to? It is thought-provoking.
第五篇:野性的呼唤 英文读后感
1.London's classic tale of survival, about a gentle California dog's gradual transformation into a fierce arctic predator, calls for a robust, masculine reading.Because it is told from the dog's point of view, it also demands a narrator who can communicate the nuances of both animal and human emotion.2.At the beginning of this century, many new writers emerged with the introduction of many new ideas.Among them, Jack London was the most popular one.His most famous novel is the call of the wild.Although it is a story about a dog, Buck, it vividly depicts the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune.Buck, used to belong to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North.Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled.In the days of pulling a snow-sled, he learned to conform to the law of nature and obey the master.Finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the tough environment.This is the call of the wild.When you read the story, you will feel that Buck is a man instead of a dog, struggling with his fortune and conforming to the law of nature.Though short, it is really a thrilling story.What you never forget is the tough life in the nature, the brave and crafty dog.Maybe the wild is calling you to go ahead.While writing for only 16 years throughout his life, London produced an amazing body of work among which, White Fang, Martin Eden, the Valley of the Moon are representative.3.My Call of the Wild
------Enlightenment of The Call of the Wild
“ He sings a song of the younger world, which is thesong of the pack.”(Chapter VII
The Sounding of the Wild)When the last sentence vanished from my eyes, I can stillperceive an echo of a song-a wild song, which knocks upmy dizzy mind that always
cheerfully sink into the so-calledcivilized world without questioning.Wild, is no longer asymbol of the law of jungle but a headspring where streamsout love, passion, bravery, loyalty, friendship, venture, competition and tolerance all these virtues can easily befound in the Call of the Wild.Jack London(1876-1916)is a worldwide renowned novelist.His stories successfully
reflect the contradictory views ofman’s nature and destiny in and against the wild, and his“fight to survive” notion has gained him and hisworks timeless popularity, particularly, the Call of the Wild.It tells a story of a gigantic dog, named Buck, who is stolen from a rich and comfortable home and forced to learn to survive as an Alaskan sled dog.Buck, at first, is too savage for the company of man until he coincidently encounters his beloved master-kindhearted John Thornton.Finally, John’s incidental death breaks Buck’s last tie to the man and drives him intohis long-desired wild with his pack.In the story, Buck and John simply adopt themselves to answer the call of the wild.When it comes to Buck’s mind that oneday he will eventually leave John-his master, all he wants to do is just to help him finish the gold-rush-trip.He “from then on, night and day, never put a halt, in desperation, he burst into long stretch of flight, did not to stay him(John)…”(Chapter VII The Sounding of The Wild)Buck wished to remember John’s image forever, he “for two days and nights never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight.He
followed him about at his work, watched him while saw him into blankets at night and out of them in the morning…”(Chapter VII)When I read these words I just could not hold my tears bursting.Can a real man devote himself to loyalty and friendship in such a way? On the other hand, John Thornton is not only a dog-lover but also a brave andventurous man.He is so straightforward and simple that makes him an accommodating man.Once he firmly roots a goal into his heart, it seems that nothing could prevent him from accomplishing it except death.I do not know whether the persistence is the most vital element to make a man successful, but whatI know is that you are not far away from success once you occupy it.It is Jack London who plunges me into the animated wild from the hustle-and-bustle and from desperate city.There, I merely cannot deny the attraction of Buck’s bark, which enlightens me to pursue another lost half of the nature in mankind, and to dig out a true meaning of life.Dare we
imagine that Londonintentionally employs Buck to set us a model with perfectcharacters(count barbarity out)? The answer is affirmed.We, as animals, are from the wild but shedding off more and more wild signs, which demonstrate us as the “uncivilized”.However, who can fully guarantee that we have not overlookedsome essential wild-endowed virtues? Especially, nowadays, it seems more crucial for us to stop looking at the post-industrialized world and to ponder for a while.When cheats, betrayals, lies, lusts and crimes stuff a materialized society, whether Londonuses this novel to help himself escape the reality or warn the earthy people, to us, modern man, is all the same.It appears horrible that in modern society many people are enthusiasticallytalking about how to build up “special relations”to the authority, deceiving and lying to each other.To themlife is a mask-wearing process rather than a hard work.Every time, you browse WebPages, scandals in politics, business, the entertainment circle and even on campus crowd into youreyes.Oh, what is the essence of human beings? What is thecivilization to us? Do we need to look back at where we came from? Is it good or bad for us to speak out what we thinkand to do what the consciences demand us to? Are we wastingtalents given by the mighty nature? Be an honest, straightforward, warmhearted, emotional and responsible man or be a shrewd, cold hearted and astute hypocrite? While embracing the “civilized” rubbish, we are losing those good virtues, which are the callsof the wild.Once we lose them, we are to lose ourselves,and we will get nowhere.I wish this dreadful thought is totally a fallacy, but, now, it is chilling me hard.One day when I happen to stand on the top of a grand mountain to observe a boundless prairie enveloped by the sapphire firmament and combed by gusts of the rhythmical west wind, a morning sun sprinkles me her warmth and brilliance in a graceful way, however, at that moment, I am afraid that I cannot appreciate these beauties, I am a lost “ civilized man” then.Please, please do not let come true while we are still able to answer the call of the wild.
