There are some similarities in the stories To Build a Fire, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, and The Veteran. In all three stories the main character is a male. In To Build a Fire written by Jack London, the main character does not have a name but it is a male because the story says “The man looked along the way he had come” (London, 64).

Sante Kimes background is filled with a lot of intrigue. Much of her past is skewed with stories woven with pathological lies, hard to discern from the real truth. One of Sante’s claims is that her mother was an Oklahoman prostitute driven to Los Angeles by the Dust Bowl, and so Sante ran amok in the streets of L.A. However, court documentation and “close acquaintance” corroboration point her to being “Sandra Louise Singhrs” from Oklahoma City, hailing from a respectable family who was fed up with her “wild child” antics (shoplifting, petty theft). She was adopted by a family from Carson City, Nevada, and she went to high school there.
