- 2547: Comparison Between Call Of The
- The supplemental assignment I did was the one with the two books by different authors of the same genre. The books I read were Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Call of the wild by Jack London.

Police found the book in his possession upon apprehending ... disturbed Chapman. However, the book itself contains nothing that might have lead Chapman to act as he did.
