I approve of the fact that he ventured out into a more scientific field that he was used to in order to make a difference in nature. Lastly, at the end of his career he held a conference deemed “Man’s Role in Changing the Face of the Earth”, which influenced other scientists. I appreciate ever ounce of effort that he put in until the end

This man is signifying the human being and the dog is representing natural life form. Also, I think the old-timer is worth mention even though this character is not notable in the story. This old-timer is representing the rule of the nature. The man’s goal at the story is to reach the camp to meet the other people and probably to prospect for gold.

author highlights a metaphor to compare a man to a shredder, for example, "his voice a grating rasp", which means that the man's voice is loud and shredded like a shredder being used to cut anything. In lines 1-2, the author mentions simile to compare a man's appearance to a turkey, for example, "He saw the man's throat moving like clammy turkey skin," which means that the man's throat is moving wobbly as similar to a turkey's skin.

The novel focuses on the physical and mental transition of White Man’s Dog to Fools Crow.

In “The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane, four men – a captain, an oiler, a correspondent, and a cook - survive a shipwreck. They maneuver the rough waters in a dinghy, searching for land and signs of life. After they accept that the area around a safe-house they come across is unpopulated, the men also accept the fact that there is a very real chance that they may die. This passage delves into the same thoughts that are rushing through all of their heads, but keeping to themselves. In such a situation

Le Khuc Hoang Uyen – 1AH “The White Man’s burden” by Rudyard Kipling is a poem that, at face value, looks like a rhetorical command for white men to take up the grave responsibility of colonizing other nations for their own benefits. The poem thus does display certain social characteristics of the period, illustrated through some of its major themes like colonialism, racism and religion.
