V. Conclusionof Jack London's most famous stories were The Call of
the Wild and White Fang. Though they are completely unrelated
stories they have many similarities that I found unique. Along
with many similarities in the plot there were many similarities
in the characters, human and animal, which make these two stories
the topic of this paper. 'Jack London was both an outdoors-man
and a writer and that combination was what made his novels so
realistic.'(Walcutt 124). Jack London born on January 12, 1876
finished his second novel, The Call of the Wild, in 1904 that was
his most famous novel.

White Fang (1993 TV series)
The cover of the White Fang DVD.Two years later he finished another of his
most famous novels White Fang. His inspiration for these novels
came from the time he spent up in the Klondike that became the
basis for these two novels. Till the day of his death, from a
long battle with throat cancer, these were the two most famous
novels he had written.
The Call of the Wild was Jack London's most famous
novel,'This is the novel that separated London from all writers
of that era.'(Brooks 35) Written in 1904 it was a story about a
dog who was brought into Klondike to pull sleds during the gold
rush. The name Call of the Wild comes from the natural instinct
that animals have to be free in nature. The main characters in
this story are Buck the four- year-old half Saint Bernard and
half-Scottish shepherd,
