Read Jack Again In London, my daughter saw the author's name and said it was the same author as The Call of the Wild, and I thought to myself, reading in the past has not disappeared like the wind blowing.

The Call of the Wild is the story of a dog turning into a wolf, while White Teeth is the story of a wolf turning into a dog.

How to choose the path of life seems to be a difficult problem. Even for the same person, choices can change as they age and gain experience. Perhaps, the author has also changed.

When you are young, you yearn for freedom and challenge, and when you are old, you crave comfort and comfort. But who is so lucky to have it all at once?

I asked my daughter, "White Fang once had a chance to go back into the wilderness and get free, but finally had to go back to the Indian master because he was hungry. ”

The daughter said, "Hunger is more important than freedom, otherwise you will starve to death." "The people eat for heaven, so why not the wolf?! What's more, white teeth have been fed for a long time and have lost the ability to survive in the wilderness, which shows how important the impact of the environment on people (animals) is, which can shape a wolf or change a wolf.

My daughter stated the story, which I read two or three days ago, because I was pressed for time lately and we didn't communicate immediately after reading it. Since she can tell the synopsis of the story, it means that her reading is not completely ridiculous.

White Fang finally has a warm home, and the master Scott turns him into a wolf loyal to his master with love and trust, and finally becomes a father.

This ending is perfect and warm, and love can heal everything. I asked my daughter if she agreed with that, and she nodded. Her life has just begun, for love, life will give her some subjects, I hope that these readings in her heart to accumulate strength, so that she has the ability to face everything that love brings.

I asked my daughter, "In Call of the Wild, the dog eventually has freedom and becomes the wolf king of nature, while the wolf in this book becomes a family dog, which choice and ending do you prefer?"

The daughter did not think much about it, and immediately said: "Of course it is the second one, the ending is happy, with a puppy, how cute." ”

I laughed, and it seemed that at least for now she didn't have much ambition, which seemed different from when I was a child, when I always longed for the outside world.

To have a normal heart, willing to live an ordinary and down-to-earth life is a kind of happiness, I hope that the years will not let her change, a peaceful life, is the biggest long-cherished wish of parents for their children.

But who can predict the future?
