Zeal for Survival

People have the zeal to survive. They always fight for their lives until the end. In Titanic people were fighting to get off of the sinking ship and jumping into the ocean because they thought they had a better chance to survive in the open ocean then in the sinking ship. The rich men even paid money to get in a life boat to survive. The boats were suppost to be filled with women and children first and thats why they were paying money. That raises the question what was the man in charged of loading people in to life boats going to do with the money. After all he was about to go down with the sinking ship. In The Call of the Wild Buck killed the indians in revenge because they killed John Thornton. After Thornton's death Buck went to the wild because there was nothing that would hold him in the civilized world. If he would have stayed in the civilized world his emotions would have killed him because there was nothing in that world that he cared about.
