Imagine you are updating your status on a social media about today ( 140-180) -how are you feeling?
-what did you do when you got up ?

1. Status in short terms.

-Feeling Alright

-Got ready for my day

2. Status in long terms.

-I've been alright today, went out and finished up some left over homework.

-This morning I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. Afterwards I headed to basketball practice for most of the morning.

i believe it is the first choice (1.)

because the major theme is(“both the wild and civilization have rules.”)

and also as u said,( based on what buck learns within the call of the wild, "both the wild and civilization have rules".this is true of humans within society as well.
