four different living entities, whether they be current or past experiences. This portrays nature as more of an opposing character, rather than it being a part of the setting. By using the four characters, the man, the dog, the old-timer from Sulpher Creek and the boys, London is able to portray how nature impacts them all and how they react based on their experience and knowledge. When first being introduced to the man in “To Build a Fire,” it is evident that he might not be up to par when it…

“So that’s how Rose found you that night?” Jasper asked, thoroughly intrigued by his brother’s story as they sat in those same woods beside Reedy Creek several decades later. Lazily, he kicked another log onto the fire in front of them. Not really needing the warmth the fire provided, it was more of a habit whenever Jasper spent time with Emmett out in the woods. “Then, why are we back at the scene of your death?” “Because…” Emmett shifted against the fallen tree that used as a back prop.…

Due to western expansion the buffalo almost became extinct from the mass killing of them. Indians…

On a brisk fall day an hour or so after noon, my dad and I tried to conquer the trail known as Indian Hill. It was a fair temperature not too hot or not too cold but just right. As we trotted up the vast hill, apples were littering the ground and my dad was busting my chops about something that didn’t even matter or was irrelevant to anything; he does things like that. The light was being prevented to touch the brown rocky soil by the trees lined all in a row for miles it felt like. I could see…
