The idea of ​​peaceful rebellion through nature is the basis of many books. Kipling was one of the first to do this through many of his novels, but Jack London took this concept a lot deeper. He was born in 1876 in San Francisco, an illegitimate child born to a single woman, but his mother married a man named John London and named her son John London. This family moved around a lot, but ended up back in San Francisco where John London, now known as Jack London, worked in the bay patrol. Jack was one of the first to go to Alaska at the time of the gold rush, he did not get rich with gold, but recorded life in Alaska and entered it into his books. The series of books on life in Alaska includes some of his best-known works, such as "The Son of the Wolf" and White Fang, in which Jack London portrays similar themes of the harsh life in Alaska, the learning experience of men and animals. and the permanent struggle for survival. Oh, what a hard life it was in Alaska. But why would anyone go if it were so difficult, you might ask. (Glass, 529) Well, it was the gold rush of 1898, many were looking north for a way to get rich easily, some were looking for adventure, but there wasn't much of it. Jack London portrays the harsh lives of adventurers who went to the Klondike River Valley for gold, but got much more than they earned. In one of the stories, from the collection entitled "The Wolf's Son", Jack London described a mad hunt for gold. A person enters the still innocent land, near a stream, and as soon as he does so he begins greedily digging for gold. He finds some, but it's not even enough to keep, so he throws it away. He works for many hours without eating, so absorbed in his task that he doesn't even notice that it is dark. This continues for several days, until he finds a lot of gold, at which point the valley looks like a minefield. While digging he is shot in the back by a thief, but, overcome by greed, he manages to defeat his assassin and kill him. And the ironic thing is that he wouldn't even touch a deer, but because his treasure threatens to be taken away from him, he kills a person.
