<\/p>\n\n\n
3)<\/b><\/td>\nWhen Buck attacks the Yeehats who have wrecked the camp and killed John Thornton along with the other men and dogs, the author uses a metaphor to describe the way Buck hurls himself into battle: "It was Buck, a live hurricane of fury, . . ."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
5)<\/b><\/td>\nNear the end of the story, Buck fights with a large group of wolves. They back him up against a bank, leaving him no room to maneuver or escape. Buck fights so fiercely that "at the end of half an hour the wolves drew back discomfited." <\/p>\n

8)<\/b><\/td>\nIn the last sentence of the novel, the author paints a beautiful image.
