“Love
of
Life”
is
one
of
the
most
famous
Northern
short
stories
by
Jack
London,
a
distinguished
American
novelist.
The
particular
literary
talent
of
Jack
London
enabled
him
to
produce
an
emotional
impact
on
the
readers
of
this
story,
which
is
the
key
to
its
great
appeal
and
popularity.
Throughout
the
whole
story,
London
relied
on
visual
imagery
to
arouse
and
intensify
our
compassion
for
the
hero.
Reading
the
story,
I
could
see
the
Canadian
wilderness
and
shake
with
its
cold
and
loneliness.
I
could
feel
the
pain
of
the
hero
in
his
body
and
conceive
the
fear
in
his
heart.
I
could
taste
the
blood
of
the
raw
fish
and
chew
the
bones
of
a
dead
deer.
I
could
hear
the
weird
noises
of
a
sick
wolf
and
witness
the
hero
biting
the
wolf’s
throat
and
sucking
his
blood.
Above
all,
I
could
share
with
the
hero
his
strong
willpower
to
beat
any
difficulties
and
his
intense
love
of
life.
In
“Love
of
Life”,
London
narrated
a
soul-stirring
story
about
the
struggle
against
nature,
and
the
fight
for
survival.
The
hero
of
this
story
is
a
man
who
was
lost
in
the
wilds,
deserted
by
his
friend.
He
was
alone,
weak
and
starving.
Nothing
accompanied
him
except
pain,
hunger
and
the
Messenger
of
Death.
He
survived
on
fresh
fish,
broken
bones
and
wild
berries.
A
bear
and
a
sick
wolf
chased
him.
His
knees
and
feet
were
stripped
to
the
bone…
But
finally,
he
overcame
all
those
difficulties
and,
luckily,
the
members
of
a
scientific
expedition
on
a
ship
rescued
him.
So,
after
terrible
sufferings,
the
hero
could
enjoy
the
happy
end
of
having
enough
food
to
eat,
being
cared
for
by
a
doctor
and
looking
forward
to
a
sweet
family
reunion.
The
strong
desire
to
live
prevailed.
The
struggle
for
survival
had
been
carried
to
the
very
last
moment.
The
victory
was
so
rewarding
and
tasty
because
of
the
very
fact
that
everything
was
given
up
for
it,
including
the
bag
of
gold,
the
very
reason
the
hero
came
to
the
wilds.
From
this
enlightening
story
of
Jack
London,
I
came
to
realize
that
the
art
of
living
is
to
know
what
to
hold
fast
and
what
to
let
go---
two
truths
to
live
by.
On
one
hand,
there
are
many
wondrous
things
like
love,
friendship
and
health
in
our
lives
to
which
we
surely
ought
to
cling,
and
life
itself
is
the
most
precious
gift
that
we
should
cherish
most.
In
the
story,
the
hero
never
gave
up
his
hope
of
survival.
Under
the
unbearably
harsh
circumstances,
choosing
to
die
would
have
been
an
easier
alternative
for
the
hero.
However,
instead
of
accepting
the
doomed
fate,
he
chose
to
fight
against
it
and
he
fought
to
the
very
last
moment.
It
was
the
life
in
him,
unwilling
to
die,
that
drove
him
on.
It
was
his
willpower
that
let
him
beat
the
death,
and
that’s
why
he
was
so
strong!
Look
at
those
people
who
committed
suicide,
how
stupid
they
were!
No
matter
how
unlucky
you
are,
the
most
fortunate
thing
is
to
be
alive!
So
if
we
have
strong
willpower
in
our
hearts,
the
difficulties,
however
immense
they
are,
could
never,
ever,
beat
us!
So,
what
can
we
learn
from
the
story?
Yes,
it
is
the
first
truth
to
live
by---
the
art
of
holding
fast
to
the
flame,
the
thirst
of
life!
