Question
Read the literary analysis written by Emery about part 3 of The Call of the Wild.
One of the major themes of The Call of the Wild is that both civilization and the wilderness have social structures. Buck is faced with—and must learn about—social structures from the very outset of the novel. In the beginning, Buck lives at Judge Miller’s place, where he is clearly "ruled." As the novel progresses, Buck learns to fear the "club" when it is yielded by certain masters. Later in the novel, Buck is forced to fight for a position of leadership among his sledmates or among those who threaten their existence and safety. Throughout the story, Buck learns that social structures exist everywhere.

He could provide specific evidence from the text to support his opinions.
He could explain how the quotations he used support his ideas about Buck.
He could express his viewpoint about how social structures affect Buck.

Emery could revise his paragraph by providing specific evidence from the text to support his opinions. While he does discuss the theme of social structures that Buck encounters, including various environments and challenges he faces, incorporating direct quotes or specific examples from the novel would strengthen his argument and provide a clearer foundation for his analysis. This would help enhance the connection between Buck's experiences and the theme he is exploring, leading to a more conclusive understanding of how these social structures impact Buck's character development throughout the story.
