Exposition - Call of the Wild starts with introducing Buck, a mixed-breed between a St. Bernard and a Sheepdog. He lives on the wealthy estate of Judge Miller during the late 1890's. Buck is quickly sold into sled dogging and is sent to the Klondike region of Alaska and Canada. He soon realizes the new world he is in and learns that he needs to fight, or be killed.
Rising action - Buck's battle with Spitz could be seen as part of the rising action. Buck's struggle with Hal, Charles and Mercedes could also be contributed to the rising to the climax. When Buck fulfills Thorton's wager, it is the part before the climax.
Climax - Springtime has hit the Yukon and all the ice and snow has begun to melt. Buck's team reaches John Thornton's camp and he tells them that "the bottom's likely to drop out". Hal ignores Thorton and forces the dogs to get into harness. Buck refuses, taking a beating from Hal. Thorton rushes up, pushing Hal away and standing over Buck. He threatens to kill Hal if he hits Buck again. Thorton cuts Buck out of his traces and looks him over. The rest of the team moves on through the melting ice. With the sled a quarter-mile away, it drops into the water, and all the sled was gone. "You poor Devil," said Thorton.
Falling Action - Buck's time with Thorton leading up to Thorton's death.
Resolution - The resolution is his complete and total return to the wild. He has finally answered his call and becomes a legend.
Conflict - Buck's struggle against his masters and his development from a tame dog into a wild beast.
