Character clash

      To build a fire man and Miss Luella Bates Washington Jones

         After he got back from the treacherous trip up in the Yukon, the man had made up his mind to take some time off of camping in subzero weathers, not out of fear but simply to become acquainted with the lack of a ring finger on his right hand, and hairless patch of discolored skin on the left side if his face.

Found Poem- Ava

Safe

The man sat in the snow for a moment.
Such were his thoughts, but he did not sit and think them.
He remembered the advice of the old man on Sulphur Creek,
But he was safe
And then it happened,

To Build a Fire (Complete Story)

DAY HAD BROKEN cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. It was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. This fact did not worry the man. He was used to the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.

Two Important Quotes

"But all this—the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all—made no impression on the man"
This quote  shows the man's feelings in the beginning of the story. He wasn't nervous, and he was sure that he would succeeding getting where he wanted to go. The man doesn't worry about the warnings that other people gave him. This quote outlines his character throughout the story. He has the feeling that nothing can hurt him because he doesn't respect nature. He thinks that it does not have enough power to hurt him.

"'You were right, old hoss; you were right,' the man mumbled to the old-timer of Sulphur Creek."
This quote is important because the man realizes here that he was wrong. The man's point of view throughout the whole story was that he was stronger than nature and smarter than the people telling him otherwise. This is what led the man to his death. Once he realizes that he was wrong, he knows he will die and there is no way to get out of it. The shift in the man's feelings throughout the story shows the readers that being too cocky will not only lead to your death, but you will also be remembered as stupid or arrogant.

Thank You Ma'am Poem

I felt like I was carrying my whole life in one hand.
No one has ever done anything nice for me.
No one.
After I turned twelve, I was on my own.
Stealing was only thing I know.
But that woman changed me.
I lied to her about the suede shoes.
I mother lays sick in her bed as in roam the streets for money.
I tried looking for her.
Day and Night.
I tried out for jobs.
Day and Night.
And sometimes
I stole.
Day and Night.
I didn't ask for this life,
but Incan change it.
And I will always remember who helped me.
Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.
