The falling action in this story by Jack London occurs in the last few paragraphs, after the man already surrenders and knows he is going to die. Because he knows he is going to die in any case he decides to at least die with and behave with dignity. Falling action refers to the part of the story after the climax and the resolution of the main conflict.

The falling action in Jack's ''To Build A Fire'' is seen within the last 2 to 3 paragraphs of the story.

Falling action is always that part of a story in which the main issue is resolved. After the climax in the story, falling action comes to place; always very close to the end of the story.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Similarly, the falling action in Jack London's book, ''To Build A Fire,'' is shown in the last remaining paragraphs where a man surrenders to death, knowing fully well that he is going to die.

The journey began as the man began to move into the wilderness which has its temperature dropping to 75 degrees below zero. He set out with a dog by 10 am regardless of everyone waiting at the camp.  

At a point, he realized that the cold was too much for him, and he decided to kill his dog so that he could use the dog's coat as a shield but the dog sensed danger and refused to yield to his call.  

He tried to ensure circulation in all parts of his body, he stands and runs. But the circulation to his limbs was very poor, so poor that his blood reduces. After some time, he surrenders to death as he sits.

The fire is symbolic as it represents life and knowledge. Through the story, Jack teaches that everyone must listen constructively to others, and we should not think we can out-smart nature.
