“To Build a Fire” by Jack London

Reading Check: How does the man protect himself from the extreme cold? Why isn’t he worried about his survival?

1 answer

In "To Build a Fire" by Jack London, the man protects himself from the extreme cold by wearing warm clothing. He is dressed in a heavy fur cap, a fur coat, fur moccasins, and fur gloves. He also wraps his face with a scarf and keeps his hands inside his mittens to minimize exposure to the cold. Furthermore, he constantly moves and keeps his blood circulating to stay warm.

The man is not worried about his survival because he is confident in his ability to make it to his destination, where he plans to meet his friends at a mining camp. He believes that it is only a matter of time and distance before he reaches safety. Additionally, he underestimates the severity of the cold and the potential dangers it presents, as he is not familiar with temperatures that extreme.
