Frozen. The only thought on my mind, repeating over and over my way through the icy forest. The definition of the word, be turned into ice or another solid as a result of extreme cold, has no real meaning until you are stuck in a wintery forest miles away from civilization. I could feel the word frozen every time a slight, sharp breeze sliced its way through my padded mountain climber suit. The slightest presence of air left my blood and body as rigid as the iron sword of a opulent, medieval…

Born and brought up in the North, snow was the only ground he knew. Consequently, when Tesla woke up to an unfrozen ground with a warm sun beating down on fur that had never been purged of its ice, he abruptly knew that something was amiss. This was nowhere close to the place he called home.

Familiarity came with the evergreens and…

In addition, his dog knew of the cold, the true feeling of the cold and didn’t want to leave the fire. Man being man wanted to…

The character, the man from “To Build a Fire” was arrogant in his decision to face the wild alone. Throughout the story the man’s character is overly confident because he did not listen to anyone’s advice. This man was not very smart when he prepared for the trip. I also think that he was not a very patient person. He just left on a trail think he could beat everybody there. I don’t think that he cared that much about the dog that was with him either. At the end of the story, he was not…

Driving down the frozen icy dark road, too early in the morning to see the snow covered sign flash by. Parking as close as he could to the wooden cabin, sitting in the car, packing all of the equipment he needed as he grabs his brothers' bucket list and checks to see what's left "Last item on the List," David says to himself Carelessly pulls on his beanie with his wavy ginger hair poking out. With the Snow crunching under his feet, Swiftly walking towards the wooden tavern. As the door swings…

Though, the only mistake was that the man was foolish and didn’t listen to the old timer who told him it was dangerous. Because of this, the theme of the story is, “better safe than sorry.” The first that developed the theme was when the main character didn’t listen to the old timer who told him it was too dangerous to go alone and that he was going to die. This shows the theme…
