Jack London's The Call of the Wild amazed me with its constant action and wonderful features.

 Theme: They packed the sled way to rampant and heavy that the dogs could hardley pull them. Then they had way to many dogs for one sled that the sled couldnt even hold enough food to be able to feed all of the dogs. You should be prepared before going out on something your not used to doing and something very important to you and others risking lives. Say you have never driven a car before and you know nothing about one. Well you have a flat and you put the tire on and dont put the srews back on, saying oh it will last us till we get home. Or duck taping the moter in place until you get the money to get it fixed. Guessing the time because you dont have a watch.
 They had to many dogs and less food when they needed a lot more for traveling in the cold and long distance. Outcome they staved and froze and was tired and very weak, and dogs starved.
 This book could connect to Old Yeller. The dog was ferine but went up against something he couldnt handle and died. He didnt really think things threw and made everybody morose.

The Call of the Wild I recomend to everyone! Once you get into it you wont want to stop. Very good action and thrill. Comedy a little but great book for anyone for a any title.
