From what point of view is the call of the wild told

"The call of the wild" is told from third person point of view.

Further Explanation:

The point of third-person view is one of the methods of narrating the story. In this method, the narration is done by the help of using the pronoun 'he' or 'she' to the characters. The third-person pronoun is used in the narration. The two types of third-person point of view are Omniscient and limited. In omniscient point of view, the feelings and thoughts of the characters are known to the narrator. While in the third person limited the narrator can only disclose his feelings and thoughts about the characters. The third-person omniscient narrative does not disclose the views in biased form. The narrator possess all the information about the situation and actions taken by the character. The novel "The Call of the Wind" has been told from the third person omniscient point of view. The story is about the dog named Buck. The story revolves around the experience of Buck as a domestic pet to a sled dog. He used to live in a pampered environment which later changes to struggle to survive in the wildness of Canada. The adaptation of Buck to his new surrounding and environment covers the progression of the story. Buck's struggle to live and sustain reflects the theme of naturalism, individualism and social Darwinism.
