The Yukon is known for it’s brutal winter weather‚ but can also hold great beauty. In the two short stories‚ “To Build a Fire” and “Up the Slide” by Jack London‚ the main characters are The Man and Clay. Clay is an advanced outdoorsman and knows how to get through the harsh Yukon environment. The Man is a chechaquo‚ or a newcomer‚ and is less familiar with the territory of the Yukon. In these stories‚ both men share similar yet different personalities; they longed to survive‚ though they took different

“To Build a Fire” is a story about one character‚ the man. This man throughout the story 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

how many times I fell down and got back up again.” He is verifying the many people of this world to live life with grit‚ and to understand everyone’s own failures turned successes. It’s good advice that everyone should follow. 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

Without the steam engine‚ humanity would most likely still be in pre-industrial times without our current technology. Despite this‚ the first generation of steam engines were not very effective.

Courage‚ shows realism in a unique way that related and reminded me of‚ "To Build a Fire"‚ by Jack London. Both of these passages represent realism in actual situations that could happen. Often times in adventurous stories like both of these the end of the story is always fantasized and turned into a long fantasy moment; whereas in these stories the ending of the story‚ ends just the way it would end in a realistic world. In /To Build a Fire/‚ the author could have either ended it with the man staying alive
