In "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert W. Service, the exposition introduces the setting of the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush, characterized by its harsh, cold environment. The narrator recounts the story of Sam McGee, a prospector from Tennessee who struggles to cope with the extreme cold. The narrator's relationship with Sam is established, highlighting their camaraderie and the contrast between Sam's warm-blooded origins and the unforgiving Arctic landscape. This backdrop sets the stage for the unfolding narrative of Sam's tragic fate and the narrator's promise to fulfill his last wish.
