Question

What did you learn about Buck’s character from reading “The Law of Club and Fang”?

Answer 1

The law of club and fang refers to the primitive law of nature that reigns in the Northland, which rules according to the necessities of survival in reference to both dog's relation to man and to other dogs. ... Through powerful blows the man in the red sweater's club teaches dogs, like Buck, to obey their masters.

Answer 2

Buck has learned the “law of club and fang,” which marks his initiation into his new life. It was a token that he was harking back through his own life to the lives of his forebears; for he was a civilized dog, an unduly civilized dog, and of his own experience knew no trap and so could not of himself fear it.
