100 points if you help please. Please read this excerpt to answer question #1. Throughout the novel, Buck hears the call of the wild and is conflicted about where he belongs. At the end of the novel Part 7), he follows the call and lives in the wild, but every year he goes back to where Thornton died to mourn him. These ideas suggest that the conflict between wilderness and civilization stays with Buck, even after he decides to live in the wild.

1. Explain the meaning of this phrase: “he follows the call and lives in the wild.” Provide evidence from the text to support your answer. Please identify the novel Part and page number to show where the evidence is taken.
