Think about the character of Mercedes and how different she is from Buck. How might The Call of the Wild be different if the story were told from her point of view?
Write two paragraphs as if Mercedes were the main character in The Call of the Wild. Pick a scene from Chapter 5, and
write the narration from her point of view. Base your narration on what we know of Mercedes based on the text. Your
response should be at least 150 words in length.
