“He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars.” Jack London, The Call of the Wild
After reading The Call of the Wild, seventh graders traveled to the Jack London Historic State Park to explore the author's ranch and climb through the stonework ruins of his dream home which was destroyed by fire in 1913.
