What is a situation that Buck must adapt to in The Call of the Wild?

Buck comes from living in a nice home where he gets to go inside the house, has plenty to eat, and basically lives a soft life. Once he gets to Alaska, everything changes very quickly. One of the first things he has to adapt to is learning how to sleep in the cold.


He tries to go in the tent but Francois and Perrault chase him out violently. So he goes around camp trying to figure out what to do and notices that all the dogs seem to have disappeared. He actually has to fall into a hole to see that the dogs dig themselves a hole in the snow to keep warm.


Buck learns quickly. He learns how to sleep warm, how to pull a sled, how to fight, etc.
