These two novels are similar in many ways.'The way London
develops these animals with anthropomorphic characteristic makes
him one of the most creative writers of his time.'(Foner 69)
Antropomorphic means attributing human qualities to an animal,
and this is seen in both novels.London did switch the beginning
and outcome of the two animals this is seen by Buck going from a
domesticated animal to a wild beast and White Fang went from a
wild animal to a domesticated pet. Not only are the settings
similar but the time period and the major concern during that
time period were the same, the gold-rush. The ways the story
unfolded were also similar. Both animals started their lives out
in a very normal fashion but then they were brought into a
different environment and forced to change. The introduction of
characters was also similar the way they were led through life
not knowing what there purpose was until they met their final
character and then figured out what they had to do.
