Call of the Wild

Buck took many different stands against foes he did not know existed. He learned in order to survive he had to stand up for what he knew was right and sometimes just plain wrong. Buck stood for his team; he knew he had to learn fast if he wanted to live to to learn from his mistakes.

Buck had many different abilities that made him superior to the other dogs so this made him a threat to many of the pack leaders that despised him. Buck made an excellent sled dog, he was made for the trail.

Antigone

Antigone was a book where the main character took many major stands. She loved her brothers and just because he was fighting for the other side, they wouldn't bury him. Antigone took a stand against this and she changed the life of a very crucial person named Creon.
I admire Antigone for taking this stand and standing up for what she believed was right. In her case as in many others, this stand led to her death or "negative consequences".
