Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild, this wild novel, inspired my first diamante poem, even though the book is about Buck, a pampered Californian dog who is stolen and forced into the brutal life of a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush.

Jack London was an American writer born on January 12, 1876. He had a very interesting life! He grew up in California and faced many challenges, but he never gave up on his dream of becoming a writer. London loved adventure and often wrote about it in his books. Some of his most famous works include “The Call of the Wild” and “White Fang.” Both stories are about dogs and their adventures in the wild, which makes them really exciting!
In “The Call of the Wild,” we meet a dog named Buck. Buck is not just any dog; he is a big, strong, and pampered dog who lives a comfy life in California. But one day, something really bad happens—he gets stolen! Buck is taken to the harsh wilderness of Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush. He has to learn to survive and become a sled dog, facing all sorts of challenges along the way.
Reading about Buck’s adventures made me think a lot, and it inspired me to write my first diamante poem! A diamante poem is a cool style of poem with seven lines that forms a diamond shape. It starts with one subject and stays the same until the end.
I really enjoyed writing the poem because it helped me express what I felt while reading “The Call of the Wild.” Jack London’s storytelling pulled me into Buck’s world and made me think about bravery and survival.
If you haven’t read “The Call of the Wild,” I highly recommend it! It’s a thrilling story that shows how important it is to be brave and to adapt to new situations. Plus, it’s about a dog, and who doesn’t love dogs?
Thanks for reading my blog! I hope you enjoyed learning about Jack London and my diamante poem. Have you ever written a poem? If so, I’d love to hear about it!
Dara out!
