How does the weather in "Rocks in My Pocket" affect the plot of the story?

English

 In the passage “Rocks in My Pocket,” the weather plays some role in Sophie’s ability to get a job, because in a way the weather prevented her from getting the job as a pianist rather than the first job to work at the coat factory. Sophie was wearing a heavy coat to carry the rocks but,” The weather was really too warm for the coat she was wearing but it was the best way to conceal the rocks that would insure her success.” (lines 24 and 25) Later when its Sophie’s turn to go on the scale, the official says, “’You’re sweating, so I don’t think you need the coat…’” The official realizes that the girls where trying to fool him with the rocks and immediately sends Sophie back. If the weather were colder, than the coat would’ve looked more believable, while the warmer weather serves as the reason why Sophie didn’t get her workers permit the first time around, and didn’t get the job at the coat factory, So in a way, its better the weather turned out like this, because in the end Sophie ends up with a job she loves, a pianist. 

Hope this helps!!

9. How do the man and dog approach the intense cold differently, and what point
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

When faced with extreme cold, the dog experiences "a vague but menacing apprehension that subdue(s) it". It wants nothing more than to "burrow under the snow and cuddle its warmth away from the air". When it falls through the ice on the river trail, the dog automatically knows what it must do, and cleans the ice from his feet and legs. It is equipped by nature with a thick coat to protect it, and it can sense what it must do to survive.

The man, on the other hand, must struggle against nature in order to make it. He has to make choices, the most critical of which is his decision to set out into the Klondike despite warnings of danger. The man must rely on his own initiative and employ the trappings of civilization, and he is hindered both by his failure to prepare properly for his journey and his proud refusal to listen to the Old-Timer, the voice of experience. His misjudgements are costly, and the man does not make it out of the wilderness alive.

The point London appears to be making is that man is insignificant in the face of nature, his environment. Man approaches nature as an adversary, and his chances of coming out ahead are questionable. In contrast, the dog is one with nature, and nature takes care of its own.
