Call of the Wild

This is going to be a poor excuse for a post, but I couldn't go without mentioning that I recently finished Call of the Wild. It reminded me of an animalistic version of Lord of the Flies. This connection makes me wonder (since I read during silent reading time in the classes I teach, I didn't look for analyises on the internet) if the novel is a commentary on the regression of human nature.
