To Build a Fire by Jack London

Question

Where is the man originally from?

Note: I have read the whole short story. I'm just a little confused where he is coming because it's a little unclear.

Answer 1

The story says he's a chechaquo, a newcomer. He must have come from the south.

Answer 2

Is there specific place he is from? I can't seem to find it.

Answer 3

I didn't see a specific place either. I think London didn't intend to name a specific place. He just made it obvious that the man came from somewhere further south that didn't have such bitter cold.

Answer 4

Thank you for helping me.

Answer 5

You're welcome.
