Abstract
Jack London’s The Call of the Wild gauged his audience in the naturalism. On the other hand, The novel Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong also offers, among other things, a clearly-illustrated lesson on how ecosystems work, how nature consists of an intricate system of checks and balances, and how if any single element is removed, the entire system threatens to collapse. The two novels are closely related to the nature. Therefore, to research the two novels in terms of their attitudes’ towards the nature is meaningful.
In this paper, it will first review the two novels and their authors’ experience, and then explore the similarities between the two novels, next list their different attitudes towards the nature. Finally, it will make a conclusion that they have different ideas about the nature because of their different living condition and context.
KEY WORDS: Nature, Differences, Similarities, Ecosystem
论文题目：《野性的呼唤》和《狼图腾》中对自然的态度比较研究
摘 要
杰克伦敦的《野性的呼唤》让读者深切地体会自然主义的文学气息。而通过姜戎的小说《狼图腾》，我们了解到生态系统如何运转，并且带来的教训，认识到自然作为一个制衡的复杂系统如何运行，如果移除任何成分，整个系统将会导致怎样的崩溃。两部小说都与自然密切相关，因此，研究两部小说中作者对待自然的态度是有意义的。
本文将首先回顾两部小说和作者的经历，进而探索两部小说之间的相似性，其次列出他们对待自然的不同态度。最后，得出结论他们对自然的不同观点起源于他们不同的生活条件和环境。
关键词：自然，不同点，相似处，生态系统
