Which sentences from part 1 of The Call of the Wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? Buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. To be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. He had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. But to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. He saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. He had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. That had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. They would never get another rope around his neck.

Explanation:

The dog Buck is the main character in Jack London's novel "The Call of the Wild". The story revolves around the idea of survival of the fittest, meaning that only those who are strong and adaptable can survive and thrive in this world. Buck is a true survivor; an efficient one. He goes from living a comfortable life in a country home to, in the end, leading a pack of wolves. He is stolen from the ranch where he lived and sold to be a sleigh dog. It is Buck's physical strength and his incredible capacity to learn and adapt to new circumstances that allow him to survive and become a leader and companion. The sentences that show his learning skills and adaptability are:

He saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. He had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it.

If Buck hadn't understood that it was better not to fight, he would have been beaten again by the "man with a club". He might even have ended up dead, since the man could very well have decided it was no use keeping an untamable dog.
