It’s also the main idea of the Jack London short story “To Build a Fire.” In the story an unnamed man needs (not wants) to make it to his friends. The reason he needs to make it to his friends‚ is that the man is traversing a creek in Yukon‚ Canada. That sounds vague‚ how about the fact that the temperature outside

In the story by Jack London‚ To Build a Fire‚ the main character learns a hard lesson of reality‚ when he meets his fate.
