LOVE OF LIFE by Jack London

At Klondike, There were two men who just went to find gold in the cold empty land suddenly the man fell down and his legs hit the stones, but his friend, Bill, still kept walking away across the river. The man tried to walk lightly on his bad foot in the empty land, but he knew the way to their camp and he would find food, bullets, and blankets there. Afterward , the man was hungry and tired, however he needed to keep walking because he must carry heavy gold and he saw the animal near him. Although the man was nearly died because of his hunger and his foot grew worse and worse, he tried to keep walking until he saw a real ship on the silver sea and a wolf was following him. Finally, the man became an animal then he killed a wolf by biting, and after that the men on the ship helped him.


Referring to that movie named Forrest Gump. I saw this movie when I was 5 years old. Love of life remind me about one man who got in the survival situation. In Forrest Gump, the man traveled by plane, unfortunately his plane was failed down. No one could survived accept for Forrest Gump. He woke up in the empty island, no animals. He was hungry, lonely, and tired same as the man in Love of Life, but Forrest Gump had more effort and tried to create his own raft. Finally, the big ship could help him from the ocean. I think they both have grate endurance. However, the man in Love of Life couldn't control himself because of his hunger grew worse, on the other hand, Forrest Gump could control himself and found the way to survive.
