1. Partridge means that humans have moral responsibilities towards people that they do not know individually and who may not even exist at the present. He uses a metaphor about a campsite to explain his argument: when they have finished camping at a campsite, a person has a moral obligation to clean it for the next person who will use it.

Twice had he been dragged down, as the snow attested , and twice had he shaken his assailants clear and gained footing once more. He had done his task long since, but none the less was life dear to him” (London 88). Prey trying to beat the laws of nature and eventually failing shows his belief on how life is dictated by “survival of the fittest.” In this particular memory, Koshkoosh had seen the aftermath of nature…

part of the landscape Nature and civilization, women and men are not absolutely opposite. The narrator puts herself in the entire natural world.
