Call Of The Wild. 10

In this chapter there was lots of commotion and loss. The dogs had been pushing the slay far enough wear they were at the point of stoping. So Hal the owner of all these dogs stopped at a tree right before they crossed the "White River". In the text it said "Now all we have to cross the White River, only a fool would do such a thing. said John Thornton. A fool? said Hal. I am no fool i've made it this far already that doesn't mean i'm a fool. Ill cross that river if its the last thing I do." When I read this couple sentences I asked my self why would it be so bad to cross that river thats full of ice? But thats when I read back to the text were it said in the first sentence "It was a early spring morning" That told me that they did not want to cross because its a patch of melting ice over a big river. Now John Thornton was with them this whole trip, and he did not like the way Hal treated the dogs.  When it was time to go Hal called the dogs, non of them got up they were to tired. He pulled out his whip and 1 by 1 was whipped. They all got up except for Buck, he was getting whipped and whipped but he couldn't feel a thing because of how tired he was. But Buck wouldn't budge because he knew that it was to dangerous to cross that river. That was when Thornton had it so he graved an axe handle and hit Hal repeatedly. With a hunting Knife He cut the harness that was on Buck while the sled left.

This chapter was very heart warming in a way, for example the text said "As the look behind there shoulder the see Hal and his sled crossing the river. When all of a sudden the dogs and sled and Hal fell right threw the ice. Noting was left but a black patch over the ice." Now that tolled me that if it wouldn't of been for Buck being uncooperative, him and Thornton would have died too. After all this commotion Buck found his new loving owner. After this whole tragedy I think it will get harder for Buck and Thornton to find the gold. But then again the can still keep going together.
