How do the man's actions in "to build a fire" contribute to the development of the theme that no
man has power over nature?
the man keeps his pace of four miles an hour and expects to make the camp by six
o'clock in the evening despite the brutal cold.
he decides he is experienced enough in the wilderness to hike the yukon trail by
himself
he watches for changes in the creek and looks for sunken spots in snow to avoid
falling into hidden pools.
despite the man's repeated attempts to build a fire to save himself from freezing the
bitter cold prevents him from doing so.
