This story makes one realize that an individual is not greater in power than nature.

1. Explanation:

The writer also stresses on how we should listen to others who have more experience than us in any particular field.

The main character in the story is a man named Yukon. He tries to fight nature but ultimately gives up. Professionally, he is a miner and gets stuck in some horrible weather conditions while travelling to his camp.

The fire in this story symbolically represents life and death situations for a person.

Knowledge is power hence to build a fire we not only need intelligence but, life or energy too.

This book was published on 29th May, 1906.

2 Explanation:

This exceptional story describes the power of mother nature using various elements like wild animals. The author chooses to elaborate on this topic by using the character of a dog, who uses his instincts to survive in harsh weather conditions. At the end of the story, the man dies because he could not bear the cold anymore. The author then signifies his death as a means to convey his message that we should listen to the advice that others give us rather than being ignorant.
