Traits that have helped Buck thrive are his size, his strength, and the ability to adapt to his environment. His ability to adapt is by far the most important trait so he can live and learn to keep himself alive in the wild.

Spitz is scared that he will lose his position as lead sled dog due to the fact that he is always trying to diminish other dogs. Like when he attacked the rabbit when clearly Buck was trying to kill it himself. This is putting Buck in his place because he is not allowed to kill the rabbit, instead he has to beat Spitz for it.

# data[].attributes.body
Was Spitz born mean, or did some traumatic event make him this way?

# data[].attributes.body
Traits that have helped buck thrive in this new world are his strength, his leadership, and his braveness and ability to fight. I feel like the leadership is the best trait because they need it to lead this.

Buck's strength and speed has helped him survive because in the tough conditions.

Traits that have helped buck along the way are, his strong muscles, fur, his strong and persistent, personality. His best trait is his personality. Buck will not fall to some one else's power over him.

Spitz is defensive. "Spitz, as lead dog and acknowledged master of team, felt his supremacy threatened by this strange, south land dog."

# data[].attributes.body
"His new-born cunning gave him poise and control" page 24

# data[].attributes.body
"He openly threatened the other's leadership. He came between him and the shrinks he should have punished. And he did it deliberately." (30)

# data[].attributes.body
Spitz has been able to be focused and be in control of himself and the world around him. I think this is the most important one because he can be in control and be determined to get his sled team in control.

# data[].attributes.body
I said that spitz is over ruling because he wants Buck to fail so he tries to stop Buck. " Rabbit still flitting before him, he saw another and larger frost wraith leap from the overhanging bank into the immediate path of the rabbit. It was spitz (london 34)." This shows Spitz trying to over rule Buck because he noticed he was doing something good and he wanted to stop it.

# data[].attributes.body
All that stirring of old instincts which at stated periods drives men out from the sounding cities to forest and plain to 🤬 things by chemically leaden pellets, the blood lust, the joy to 🤬- all of this was Buck's, only it was infinitely intimate."(pg 33)

# data[].attributes.body
Buck has determination, bravery, and intuitive. I think him being intuitive is the most important because he seems to have good judgement on whether to do something and wait like when he steals food when Francois isn't looking.

# data[].attributes.body
"He saw another and larger frost wraith leap from the overhanging bank into the immediate path of the rabbit." Just before Buck got the rabbit Spitz was there to get it, and that tells us that Spitz is not to be trusted.

# data[].attributes.body
"He flung himself upon another, (wild dog) and at the same time felt teeth sink into his own throat. It was Spitz, treacherously attacking from the side". pg. 26

Afraid
"Spitz, as lead-dog and acknowledged master of the team, felt his supremacy threatened by this strange Southland dog."
This shows that even though he is the leader he is afraid of Buck and that he might take over his leading position.

"In a flash Buck knew it. The time had come. It is to the death." (34)

# data[].attributes.body
One trait that has helped him thrive in his new world was being able to adapt to new problems and not look back on what he had before. Another trait that helped him thrive in his new world was mental strength. He kept fighting even though he had hard times and never gave up especially during the fight against Spitz. I think that adapting is the most important trait because is he wasn't able to change to his new conditions he would of never survived the whole experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Buck has many traits that have been helping him thrive in his new world such as bravery, natural leader and being fearless. Out of these three traits I feel him being fearless is the most important trait because he is going to have to face a lot of stuff that might be scary but he won't be affected by it

# data[].attributes.headline

"Buck a dangerous rival, Spitz never lost an opportunity of showing his teeth." this shows that Spitz is self- centered because he wants to show off his strength.

# data[].attributes.body
"He saw Spitz run out his scarlet tongue in the way he had of laughing" (16) This shows he is self centered because he only cares about himself and not about a dog who just died and got torn apart by a huge group of dogs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Buck is a natural leader and a fast learner. I think being a fast leader is very important for Buck's situation.jj

"But Sptiz, cold and calculating even in his supreme moods, left the pack and cut across a narrow neck of land where the creek made along bend around. (pg. 34) This shows that Spitz is quick-witted and cunning. This is just one example of Spitz using his senses to devise up a plan to out due Buck as well as the other dogs.

"In the days that followed, as Dawson grew closer and closer, Buck still continued to interfere between Spitz and the culprits."

Spits is shown, from the start that he is the leader and everyone should be or is scared of him or already is this is why its a big deal for him to hear that buck was stealing food under his nose since he "runs the place", "Spitz as lead dog and acknowledged leader of the team, felt threatened by this strange south land dog."

# data[].attributes.body
"He even went out of his way to bully Buck, striving constantly to start the fight which could end only in death of one or the other." (page 24)

"His new-born cunning gave him poise and control. He was to busy adjusting to his new life to feel at ease. Not only did he not pick fights, but he avoided them whenever possible. A certain deliberateness characterized his attitude.

Spitz is power hungry and jealous. I say this because anything Buck does he strives to do better or ruin his plan.

# data[].attributes.body
"Buck stood and looked on, the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his 🤬 and found it good." (36)

# data[].attributes.body
Buck's traits that have helped him are his determination, adaptability, and strength. I think the most important trait that Buck has is his adaptability because if Buck hadn't been able to adjust to the new ways of this strange world, he would have died quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
"But Spitz, cold and calculating even in his supreme moods, left the pack and cut across a narrow neck of land where the creek made a long bend around." (Page 34)

This shows that Spitz doesn't just blindly charge into a battle with his enemies, but that he thinks through plans on how to defeat them.

# data[].attributes.body
Buck's traits that have helped him so far are his determination, loyalty, and bravery. The most important is his determination, because he is determined to show Spitz that he can't always be the leader.

"From then on it was war between them. Spitz, as lead-dog and acknowledged master of the team, felt his supremacy threatened by this strange Southland dog. And strange Buck was to him, for of the many Southland dogs he had known, not one had shown up worthily in camp and on trail. They were all too soft, dying under the toil, the frost, and starvation. Buck was the exception." pg 29

I think Buck's most important trait is his courage to stand up for himself. Without this trait Buck would've not taken an chances in the Yukon and therefore wouldn't of been able to adapt to his new environment leaving him defenseless.

"He was not prone to rashness and precipitate action; and in bitter hatred between him and Spitz he betrayed no impatience, shunned all offensive acts." So Buck was kind of being the bigger person. vv

Buck staggered over against the sled, exhausted, sobbing for breath, helpless. This was Spitz's opportunity." (pg. 29)

I think the most important trait out of all of these is bravery because without this, Buck would be falling apart. He wouldn't be able to keep pushing through all of the rough obstacles that have been thrown at him.

Traits that have helped Buck to thrive in his new world include leadership, strength, and perseverance. I believe that leadership is the most important because without Buck taking the lead and being a leader to the other dogs they would still be getting pushed around by Spitz.

"Buck was the exception. He alone endured and prospered, matching the husky in strength, saveragy, and cunning. Then he was a masterful dog and what made him dangerous was the fact that the club of the man in the red sweater had knocked all blind pluck and rashness out of his desire for mastery."

"Spitz was wild with wrath" (Page 30) This shows Spitz is full of anger because he attacks Buck a lot and shows his emotions which are mostly anger. He is jealous of Buck so he becomes angry and full of wrath.

Some traits that have helped Buck thrive in his new world are his ability to fight, his courage, and his strength. I feel like his strength is the most important trait because he needs to use it to survive in the wild and fight with enemies

Spitz is very determined and stern. "Spitz was the leader, likewise experienced, and while he could not always get at Buck, he growled sharp reproof now and again, or cunningly threw his weight in the traces to jerk Buck into the way he should go." Chapter 2, pg 16

# data[].attributes.body
Buck was able to thrive in this new world because he stays low, and quiet, unless someone makes his angry. Buck is also adaptive, he learned to adapt to the new and harsh environments that he was forced to endure. Buck learned to survive in the cold and harsh conditions, and learned about who has authority.

Determination, patience, and his smarts are all traits of Buck (as well as his superiority in stature), but I think his patience is the most important. Even though some can argue that determination is the most important, I think that even if he's determined not to egg Spitz on, patience would be the one to determine that round.

One character trait that could describe Spitz is Treacherous. The first we hear of him he is trying to steal Buck's food. "He was friendly, in a treacherous sort of way, smiling into one's face the while he meditated some underhand trick, as, for instance, when he stole Buck's food at the first meal. As Buck sprang to punish him, the lash from Francois"s whip sang through the air, reaching the culprit first." (13)

I think Buck's willingness to adapt is the most important because he was used to living a luxurious lazy life back at Judge Millers, and won't be able to survive these new harsh conditions, unless he adapts physically, and changes his view on life.

# data[].attributes.body
Traits that have helped Buck include his stubbornness, respect for others, strength and intelligence. In my opinion I think the most important trait is being stubborn. If he wasn't stubborn/strong willed he would have never have made it this far. He wants to prove everyone wrong and do the best to his ability and get better despite everything.

# data[].attributes.body
chapter 3 page 25, "But when Buck finished his ration and returned, he found his nest occupied. A warning snarl told him that the trespasser was Spitz." So Buck caught Spitz trespassing and sleeping in his spot, that made him angry. Spitz tresspassing shows that he is invasive and she is a bully because he is using Buck's bed on purpose, to anger Buck.

So, obviously, whoever spends their time bullying someone else because they want to, is malicious.

The traits that have helped Buck thrive in his new world are being strong and being big. Out of these the one I think is most important is being strong because if you are strong you can take care of yourself a little bit longer and more but if your just big then they can take you down easily.
