After having found lots of gold and on the way back home, the
2、protagonist was abandoned by his friend, Bill. As winter was approaching, he traveled alone on the vast expanse of wilderness with a full bag of gold, injured leg, bleeding feet and little food. He was hunger-mad to feed himself with tasteless roots and raw small fish to survive in prairie covered w
3、ith swamps, hills, streams and other wild animals. Unfortunately, as time went on, he became weaker and weaker. Suddenly, he found a sick wolf was following and licking his blood trail behind. And from then on, the two dying creatures began to hunt each other. To come back home alive, and to defeat
4、the sick wolf, he as a human being threw away all of the gold and other worldly possessions in order to struggle forward the boats on the coast. With unbelievable perseverance and human potential, after several desperate fight, the man finally killed the wolf with teeth and drank its blood. Luckily,
5、 on the coast there were some members of a scientific expedition on the whale-ship, and the man was saved by them. Comment:Jack London is a famous American realist writer, he has also been known as the “Father of American proletarian literature.” In the short life, he left to the world a lot of valu
6、able works, like “Call of the Wild,” “Sea Wolf” and “Martin Eden” and etc. which have become classics people familiar with. However, among his numerous works, “Love of Life” is my favorite short story. This work has brought me a lot of inspiration of life, and also has taught me a lot of life philos
7、ophy. Jack London wrote: “When life becomes tiresome and painful, death will come to coax you to sleep a deep slumber. Through his works and his own life, Jack London revealed a tragedy that a person in distress can rely on dreams to persist, but once he gets out of the predicament to be successful,
8、 the meaning of life becomes an issue. Suffering can make ones heart strong, and successful can destroy everything.Cherish lifeThe background of “Love of Life” is set in the “gold rush” period, which was not without relevance to the authors experience as gold digger. The novels protagonist and his c
9、ompanions started adventure to west America for gold. After an arduous journey, they found gold. But after the celebration, they gradually became anxious, because gold was certainly priceless, but the weight was beyond their load, and even worse, the food ran out.There is no doubt that they loved go
10、ld, otherwise they would not go there. But they loved their lives too. So how to choose if you have to abandon one? Maybe everyone inwardly holds the same view that “while ants are greedy to live yet, human should cherish life much more”. But its hard for them to make decision, because to choose lif
11、e means to give up hard-earned gold, which was just the reason they were there. Think about it: if you have a full bag of gold on your back in dilemmas, wont you think that you may be lucky to get out of the plight and wont you be hesitate to throw gold away? Honestly, I would be hesitate. But it is
12、 undeniable that when human life is seriously threatened, any material possessions would be meaningless. People must know when and how to control their own desires.Life in any sense is the most precious thing and everyone should love life. Jack Londons “Love of Life” tells us to cherish life, then y
13、ou can get the attention of fate. As long as people have faith, there is hope of success. Faced with the challenges of all kinds of adversity, people only dare to insist, fight against the fate, and never give up any chance, ultimately to get the final victory. Money is important to live well, but c
14、ompared to life it is worthless. Therefore, in order to survive, it is sometimes necessary to give up those worldly possessions and travel light.Hang on and you will be successful Another revelation of “Love of Life” is to learn to persevere. Even if there is only a little chance to survive, you sho
15、uld persevere until the final victory. The protagonist survived from extremely worst situation, just reveals that “with strong will, is equivalent to the feet to a pair of wings” (Bailey). Survival is the reward he deserved, but also the gift from fate. As human beings, we are eager to win merits fo
16、r ourselves. In my opinion, firstly, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. The hero in this novel was distinctively provided with this determination. On the other hand, after making determination, onl
