From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
The narrator says Buck is “beaten” but “not broken.” Then Buck watches other dogs: some fawn on the man with the club, and one is killed for neither obeying nor fawning. Underline what Buck learns and what he never does. Does obeying without fawning leave a dog unbroken?
At the close of Chapter I, The Call of the Wild.
