Which theme does this passage illustrate? Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.
Then an old wolf, gaunt and battle-scarred, came
forward. Buck writhed his lips into the preliminary of a
snarl, but sniffed noses with him. Whereupon the old
wolf sat down, pointed nose at the moon, and broke out
the long wolf howl. The others sat down and howled.
And now the call came to Buck in unmistakable
accents. He, too, sat down and howled. This over, he
came out of his angle and the pack crowded around
him, sniffing in half-friendly, half-savage manner. The
leaders lifted the yelp of the pack and sprang away into
the woods. The wolves swung in behind, yelping in
chorus. And Buck ran with them, side by side with the
wild brother, yelping as he ran.
O A good leader is strong and intelligent and treats his
followers well.
O Only the strong survive in the wilderness.
O The only way to learn something is to try it.
The desire to fight for power is an instinct.

B) only the strong survive in the wilderness

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
