What are some allusions in the story to build a fire by Jack London?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We can see through the short story that the unnamed man represents all of humanity. The man follows through with intellect while the dog follows by with instinct. Other examples would be the fire and snow. The fire is the point of survival and warmth. While the snow created with nature symbolizes death. While we can see that is was the environment that overcame the man, it had done nothing to begin with. It was the mans absence of common sense that had resulted in his death.

Is Jack London Jewish?

Asked by Wiki User

No, Jack London is not a Christian because he married Bess based off of the thought of "good breeding". 3 years later, he left her and 2 girls behind. A true Christian would never leave his/her mate and offspring.

(Improvisation)

not necessarily, just because he left his family doesn't mean he isn't a christian. the Bible says not to, but he can still do it.
