One primary theme of Jack London's The call of the wild is the conflict between civilization and wildness. We realise the difference between the two when the protagonist of the story, Buck is kidnapped and taken to Alaska. Chapter Two of the story is called the law of club and fang. The law of club is what Buck's master puts in place in order for buck to obey. The law of fang however can be described as the rules of "wild" dogs which are set to determine and maintain hierarchy. Buck struggles to adapt to the changes that are now around him for he wad once a gentleman's dog.

When Buck meets his second owner John Thornton he feels as though he has finally found a steady footing. In a way Thornton's death allows Buck to release his caged up instincts.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
