Buck saw curly get mulled to death.
One night, Buck and Spitz attacked each other because they had been fighting with one another. Buck was losing the fight because Spitz was stronger than him.

Although Spitz seems stronger, Buck is very smart and he has adapted to live a life in the wild. Buck knew that when a god falls down, they will not get back up.

During this, all of the dogs get beat and torn up by the wolves. During the fight, we discover that Spitz is not a good dog at all; he is a traitor.

They got attacked by a group of wolves and ended up getting hurt. They tried fighting back but they were losing badly. Spitz ended up betraying the group and attacking the rest of the dogs.

I think this line really stands out to me because this is the last time Buck is ever going to see Francois and Perrault.

I don't know how long some of them are going to make it. Sol-leks seems to be struggling and Dave took the worst beating of them all. Most of them were so weak that they could barely even walk.

But it was no longer his body, it seemed so far away." That quote really stood out to me because it shows how much Buck has gone through. Between getting no food, getting whipped, getting no sleep, and having to see his own friends die right in front of him has made him completely numb. He cannot even feel his own body because he is so numb from being whipped. ]]> 2021-12-09 18:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/paigesomerville1/qzho3hv5wrhcebmw/wish/1938922461 paigesomerville1 https://padlet.com/paigesomerville1/qzho3hv5wrhcebmw/wish/1938923493 The best part of chapter five was obviously when everyone fell into the ice. This was the most unexpected, jaw-dropping moment of the book. The reason they fell was because they had the most un-experienced owner they have ever had before.

There really is not much else that can happen.

Another prediction I had was that once Buck's job is done, he will have to move in with another owner weather that be Judge Miller or any other person. I am hoping, however, that he stays with John Thornton, because that would be the best life that Buck could ever wish for.
