To Build a Fire Jack London

Call of the Wild White Fang The Sea-wolf Jack London

While reading this story, we will analyze: Theme Character development Narration and perspective Published 1902

Yukon Territory What can you infer about the climate of the region? Very cold during winter Months of darkness or sunshine Very remote from civilization

Expedition to the Yukon What will you bring? You can only bring what you can carry. You will be gone at least 30 days.

Paragraphs 1: Characterization What do we know about the character already? What might this foreshadow?

Narration and Perspective How do we know what we know about the character? What is the perspective?

3rd person narrations: Third person limited: A removed narrator that knows or present only a limited amount of information to the reader based an certain character(s) point of view Third person omniscient: Removed narrator that knows everything that is happening, has happened and will happen to all the characters

What is the difference between the dog and the man? What is the effect of juxtaposing these two characters together? What might it add to the theme? Why might London have chosen this title?

Two paragraph Mini-essay How does the third person narration enable London to relate the struggle between man and nature, knowledge and instinct.
