What started out looking like a man’s greatest adventure turned into a shell-shocking reality that war is actually horrible and trying.

The narrative of this book is highly fragmented, especially in Part II, Wildman merged Cudjoe and himself to one narrator. In Part III, Wildman even created a mysterious character, J.B, to represent all the people saw the degeneration/fire. Through this way, Wildman generalized the narrations of different people in different time, elaborating personal experience to a phenomenon of a community. The book sank in a sense of despair and confusion. From Cudjoe to Philadelphia, everyone, every group and every community was stuck between the ideology of dream city and complicated reality. Hovering around the crossroad of past and future, People rot in the dissatisfaction of the current situation yet find no way to revive. Why couldn’t people jump out of the dilemma? What repressed the revolution for better life over and over again? Is the decay of this city in the story irresistible? Throughout the analysis of specific events and narrations in the book, we could categorize the causes of the degeneration to two sections: The conflict between ideology and needs to sustain the reality, and distribution of authority. With the compromise of these undesired situation, the deterioration dissolved in the root of the city, causing the irresistible decay.

Due to the location and content, it is not immediately threatening - despite the danger of the foreground’s infernal fire. Deforestation and drought in Senegal are terrible for its inhabitants, but poses no immediate threat to the Western world, especially the 16,000 kilometers removed Aotearoa. Withdrawing our eyes, from The Prophecy’s (Fig. 2) grasp we are emancipated, and the image becomes obscure; suppressed in the subconscious. With resumption to our preconceived (perhaps now altered) ideologies, the geographical detachment has rendered this visual text somewhat useless. However, the content has instilled that climate change and its causes are not natural occurrences. This is

Jack London wrote many novels and short stories. One of his most well known stories is “To Build a Fire.” This story shows much on Darwinistic ideas which, in Jack London’s time, were very prevalent in the arts. In the story an unnamed man leaves his cabin to travel to another camp across the Yukon, a vast wilderness in Alaska. He is presumed to be headed for a mining camp because the story was inspired by London’s experiences during the Klondike Gold Rush. The man’s only traveling partner is a wolf-mix dog. As they travel many problems occur. First, the temperature is so cold, that the man’s fingers freeze as soon as he takes them out of his gloves making it harder for him to start a fire. Next, the man falls through the ice, and has to build another fire to dry himself off, but he did not pay attention to where he was building it, so snow from a tree fell on the fire, putting out the life-giving flames. Finally, the man’s fingers have completely frozen, so he cannot make another fire and he freezes to death. The dog, sensing death, runs to another camp close by to find food and shelter. Before the man dies, he accepts that the old man who lived in Sulphur Creek was right. The “Old Timer” previously had given him several warnings about the harsh Yukon weather, but the man did not listen. In "To Build a Fire" by Jack London the man's ignorance, arrogance, and nature going against him causes his eventual demise.
