Explanation:

Jack London's novel "White Fang" revolves around the story of a wild wolfdog named White Fang. The story delves into the life of the wolf-dog, a mix breed offspring and his survival, and eventually ends up as a domestic pet in California.

The given passage is from Part 1 of the story where two men, Henry and Bill were passing through the snowy wilderness, in a sled pulled by their six dogs. The author includes a certain detail about one man who had died and was kept in a box on the sled, "a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down until he would never move nor struggle again". The narrator continues, "It is not the way of the Wild to like movement. Life is an offense to it, for life is movement; and the Wild aims always to destroy movement [...] man who is the most restless of life, ever in revolt against the dictum (law) that all movement must, in the end, come to the cessation of movement".

This statement seems suggestive of the obstacles or force of nature that the characters have faced. The Wild represents the conflict they are met with, and thus, make the dead man a representation of what the other two characters are to face in their journey.

it makes the game seem more impressive.
