Post #2: Setting

Setting

In the main body of the book, the setting in this novel is explained like a travel log on the dog sled journey through the Yukon. As Buck is bought and sold to different owners and teams threw out the book, Buck travels thousands on miles across the Klondike. The climate in the book setting is dangerous and wild. Threw the narration describing Bucks surroundings, my attention was always kept and always sparked interest. Its do or die through the entire book and you never truly know what is going to happen next, of if the lovably main character is going to live. The Yukon environment is frozen plains and thick forest. The book is written about Bucks life over a couple year, so the season change many times and London has described it so well that you a truly see what he is talking about.      
As I’ve been reading this novel, I feel every connected to the land and all the characters within the story. Setting is so important to a story and, I believe, is the difference between a great story and one you wish you had not bothered to read. It makes all the difference and takes you, the reader, along for the journey too.
