To Buuild a Fire

To Build a Fire by Jack London tells us the story of a man who is traveling across Canada. This man seems like an ignorant person, because he does not have the knowledge on how to survive in such weather conditions, but he was used to think about life and death so he was not really afraid of anything. At the same time he had a lack of imagination which at the end leads him into disaster. This whole time he is traveling by foot and for the purpose of go and meet up with his companions and for this whole trip he only carries a sack of lunch. At the same time the story tells us that he is traveling with a husky. Even though he lacks of imagination on the point that he was about to cross some hidden river he sends the dog first. The dog falls but immediately comes out the man tries to help the dog but as soon as he takes his glove his hands freeze. He decides to build a fire before he settles to eat his lunch. Soon he breaks in the ice and gets soaked and tries to build another fire to keep his numb toes unfroze. He remembers when that someone told him that it was not safe to travel by themselves on temperatures less than fifty. At the end he dies and the dog survives.
