Putin (the president of Russia) have said that “we should remember what Jack London had told us-Time and tide wait for no man.”2. The leading roles stru

13、ggle in fighting with the surroundings2.1 The struggle in fighting with the environment2.11 When he was strong-minded The man character “he” in this whole passage was not given a name and the author even does not describe his appearance or age for us. All we know is that man was hurt in his leg and

14、abandoned by his partner in a big forest without any food to eat. When he realized that he was abandoned by his friend, the first emotion banged into his mind was panic. In order to resist being trapped by this desperate feeling, he pulled himself together , dragged his wounded leg, went back to his

15、 lonely trip. Though alone, he was not lost. With firm determination, he limped forward. In the next two days, without food to eat, he searched frogs and worms to fill up his stomach. There are several descriptions about how he tried to use everything in hand to fight against huger, cold, and lonely

16、.2.12 When he was totally driven by hungerHe was mastered by the verb “to eat”, he was hunger-mad. These two sentences used in a simple way to show the condition he was in. he was totally driven by hunger, nothing could occupy his mind now, the extreme pain from his stomach drive him crazy. Although

17、 the bitter flavor of musky berries and rush-grass patches were left in his mouth, he still felt hungry. His heart also began to flutter violently in every moving which made him go faint and dizzy. At this moment, the only thing left was his distinct that cried out to survive. In this hard struggle,

18、 he tried several times to catch the minnow and ptarmigan. At this time, nothing seems could not eat at this time. What makes things worse is that a hallucination began to trouble him. He imagined a horse stood behind him which means the organs of his body began to decline. A man in this case is out

19、 of strength and energy. However, he had never given up.2.13 When he finally realize the hope existsMost unusual, he thought a vision or a mirage, more like a vision, trick of his disordered mind. This first reaction to the appearance of ship was not excited, but the suspect himself. This suspicion

20、has its own reasons. In fact, he knows his own condition so as to he could not believe his own eyes when the hope came to him. But when he calmed down, took a stock of his own condition, he set out to ship firmly. Just at this moment, another big challenge found him; a sick wolf began to fellow him.

21、 The fight between a man and a wolf kicked off. The man crawled towards the hope of holy land, inch by inch, following by a dangerous company and had to take care of not being the others food. 2.2 The struggle in fighting with the animals2.21 The meeting with a bearMeeting with one bear was an unexp

22、ected situation to him. Driven nearly mad by hunger, he even took the bear as a horse, he rubbed his eyes savagely to clear his vision and then find out it is not a hose but a great bear. Even so, he saw the meat and life behind him. The eager of surviving gave him the incomparable courage that he t

23、ook out his hunting-life and got ready to a big fight with the bear. His desperate courage was drew himself up to the most imposing stature, gripping the knife and staring hard at the bear. In response to the bears growling, he, too, growled savagely, terribly, with a desperate fear and hope for lif

24、e and that scared the bear away. That was his first win with animals. He defeated a bear. But it also awakened his fear and alertness to the unknown dangerous in the forest. He now realized hunger is not the only thing threaten to his life, he had also to fight with surroundings.2.22 The competition

25、 with a sick wolfThe competition between the dying man and the sick wolf is the most important and impressive point in this whole article. He met the wolf when he realized the hope is just ahead of him. The excitement of viewing hope and the fear of facing danger occurred to him at the same time alo

26、ng the way. The man knew the sick wolf clung to his trail in the hope that he would die first. He even saw the wolf licking hungrily his bleeding trail. Then he saw his own fate unless he could get the wolf. To some extent, the sick wolf is not only his rival, but also his motive to survive. In orde

27、r to avoid being eaten by the wolf, he had to pull himself together and move forward. The final fight between the man and the wolf arrived; his hand had no strength to chock the wolf, instead of his hands, his tooth pierced into the wolfs throat, end its life. The man finally won this competition. 2

28、.3The struggle in fighting with himself2.31 The self-encouraged after being abandoned by partnerHe called out “I say, Bill, Ive sprained my ankle.” Bill staggered on through the water. He did not look around. The man watched him go, and through his face was expressionless as ever, his eyes were like

29、 the eyes of a wounded deer. He begged Bill to stay again, it was the pleading cry of a strong man in distress, but Bills head did not turn. When he finally realized he was abandoned by his friend, the fear comes to him. But he did not stop. To fight with this desperate emotion, he tried to tell him

30、self that Bill would be waiting for him in a cache that they all know. With this self-cheated belief, or we can call it self-encouraged, he went on his lonely trip. This is the first struggle to fight with himself and his own mind. And this fight gave him an target to achieve.2.32 The hard choice be

31、tween gold and life The mans several choices between gold and life is pretty impressive. However, it is a common thing that lots of people can not resist the temptation of money and even risk their life to get it in our daily life. As an ordinary people, he also can not drop the gold on which he had

32、 spent a lot of time and energy. The gold was protected well in a squat moose-hide sack, which was mentioned several times in this article to emphasize its importance for him. However, facing the danger of losing life, he finally dropped it. This kind of description to some extent reflects the autho

33、rs attitude: nothing could compare with life when facing danger, to survive is the nature of human beings.3. authors attitude to life reflected in this novel3.1 The similar experiences in authors life to this article On July 12, 1897, London (age21) and his sisters husband sailed to join the Klondik

34、e Gold Rush. This was the setting for his first successful stories. Londons time in the Klondike, however, was detrimental to his health. Like so many other men who were malnourished in the goldfields, London developed scurvy. His gums became swollen, leading to the loss of his four front teeth. A c

35、onstant gnawing pain affected his nip and leg muscles, and his face stricken with marks that always reminded him of the struggles he faced in the Klondike. Because of the similar life experiences, London could imagine how many trials and hardships the gold searcher had to go through. That was what w

36、e always say experience comes from life.3.2 The Influence of Darwins theory of EvolutionWe can infer from the novel that Jack London was deeply influenced by Darwins theory of evolution. For example:It is not the strongest of the species that survive, but the one most responsive to change. -Charles

37、DarwinThe characterized person “he” in this whole article played a role that had never gave up no matter how many difficulties lying ahead. A human being without any weapons to protect him or any food to eat was such a tiny, tender creature. But just from this comparison, the vivid personality stand

38、s out. The greatest creature isnt the strongest but the most responsible to change. Only could one person adapt to the environment he will survive. That is the rule of the world and also used as well in human society. 3.3 The relationship between human, wildlife and environmentThere are several figh

39、ts scene between human beings and animals in the natural environment. Sometimes, the animals win but most of time is the human win. Human beings are unique among animals species in that human survive and reproduce in a wide variety environments through cultural adaptations. However, in this article,

40、 Jack London put human beings in an equal position with other species. All creatures just want to survive in this competitive environment. The cry of life is beyond the borderline of species. In this way, the value of life is firmly stressed. Therefore, the most impressive and heart-toughed scene is

41、 the fight between a sick wolf and a dying man. They fight against strength and stigma, patience and persistence. Although the man won and survive, we can not say the others lose this fight. What is sprinkling in this novel is the strength of a kind of spirit, a spirit of never giving up.4. Conclusi
