I agree with him leaving, i believe it was mainly a thing about finding himself and enjoying time alone. ex: “he’d been in the habit of taking it on extended solo road trips when classes weren’t in session…” (pg. 21)

Cole finds himself banished to a remote island in Alaska by himself for a year. Cole obviously does not understand the severity of the situation that he is placed under. He takes all the given tools and the given shed for granted and he burns the shelter that was there for him. He is later attacked by a bear. This bear does not directly attack Cole and it does not kill him. Cole aggravated the bear and threw a

In “To Build a Fire,” a man sets out into the freezing cold alone except for his dog. He is confident that he can simply walk to the next campsite, and bring along a few survival tools. However, he soon falls

Life is never easy, no matter how hard we try to short cut and escape the inevitable difficulties. After College is when life sets in, when work becomes a necessity and we all begin to find a place to settle down. People respond differently to different situations. Some of us embrace the freedom and the ability to earn money and spend money indiscriminately. Others crumple under the social pressures placed on us. Christopher McCandless is a perfect example. Settling down and raising a family, providing for that family and creating a sustainable lifestyle are important and high stress things that we all must deal with if we are to enjoy the finer things in life. Chris totally abandoned that, he gave away all of his possessions; even

Participants are forced to kill one another until only one player is left (covered in pages 19 - 20). Already, it is easy to notice the resemblances between the two

The man was given advice from an “old-timer” that it is unwise to travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below zero but the man smiled and ignored the warning determined to make his journey (London 382). Because of his ignorance the un-named protagonist arrogantly thought of the “old-timer” as acting womanish, strongly believing that any man who was a man could travel alone (London 382). The man would rather listen to himself than the wise words of someone who is more experienced in this type of terrain. Because the man had no previous personal experience traveling in the Yukon in such cold, he was unable to determine the severity of the journey he was about to take. He did not understand how hostile nature can be and his disdainful attitude toward it’s forces exemplifies that. At the beginning of the story, cold made no impression on the man. “He perceived it as something weak that it was easy to overcome. Fifty degrees below zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of mittens, ear flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks. Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero”

He thinks very pragmatically about low temperatures, so “he was keenly observant”, he knows to react efficiently and stay confident. He actually manages to keep his self-control for a long time despite the many vicissitudes he meets. However, this lack of sensitivity leads him to his doom since he does not know how to stay humble in front of the indomitable elements nature is. He refused to listen to the advices of the old man from Sulphur Creek who had recommended him to not face the cold alone. However, he does not appear to be entirely a novice of the extreme cold either. He is aware of the danger of the cold. Many times he thinks he has never experience such a cold temperature before, but still he lacks of judgement and continues his adventure, believing his thoughts and skills will be enough to live through the

The character will survive if he knows how to listen. He was warned by an old man in the Sulphur Creek not to travel in the extreme temperature of Yukon, which temperatures drops down to seventy-five below zero. His imprudence leads him to his death. Listening is an important factor of making a right decision in life. It helps us to be a better thinker. Most of our mistakes in life happened when we start to ignore little things. In addition, the character should survive if he uses his dog companion’s help. We know that dogs have a great natural feeling. They can sense danger and have good tracking ability,
