5. Questions: How would you describe the man in London's story?
How experienced is the man? Is he a novice? Prepared?
What does the man seem to think of his own abilities?
How does the man behave in relation to his environment?

6. Let’s write
This story is told by a third person, omniscient narrator. How would this passage be different if it were narrated via first person point of view? Would the story change?
Choose one paragraph and re-write it using 1st person narration. You can take the point of view from the man or the dog. (You will turn this in for a grade).

7. Deeper thinking…
How does the man and dog's relationship symbolize the man's relationship to his environment?
What does the man's failure to "build a fire" symbolize?
