    Human Nature in Literature A piece of literature I have read was To Build a Fire by Jack London. This story conveys survival in human nature. This reminds me of the movie The Grey. It’s about eight Alaskan oil refinery workers flying home for a vacation when brutal storm cause their plane to crash in the frozen wilderness‚ meanwhile there are wolves trying to eat them. The human nature in this story is survival. In this situation it is character vs. nature. To Build a Fire is about this man who

    literature and believe it to be romantic. Jack London and Stephen Crane portray vivid pictures of human misery onset by crushing environments and forces in their stories. Despite taking different approaches‚ both stories stay true to naturalism and its themes of man’s frailty in the face of forces beyond his control‚ the insignificance of man to the universe around him as a whole‚ and the foolish belief that man can bend nature to his will. Both London and Crane present an unforgiving setting that

    doesn’t say one word. He is pretty calm throughout the story. The main man or the only man for that matter seems to be a hard working man but is lacking in imagination. I believe this man has no imagination because he doesn’t think he needs one. Jack London writes about a man around his fifties or sixties for this story. The only other “character” in this story is the dog that the man runs into. Like the man‚ the dog has no name. The nameless man seems to be a hard or a tough man that isn’t that well

The buildings are figures of two contrasting classes that were segregated (?). In order to study the southern people (the working class) a sociology professor
