Which themes are found within Jack London’s ""To Build a Fire""? Check all that apply. Belief in oneself is all that is needed t

Answer:

I believe three options should be checked:

B) Nature is a powerful force and should be given great respect.

C) Humans can learn a great deal from animals around them.

D) Wisdom is gained by listening to those who have gone ahead.

Explanation:

"To Build a Fire" is a short story by Jack London. The main character unfortunately dies from the harsh cold in the Yukon territory in Canada. The first theme comes from his suffering and death: nature is more powerful than men, and it should be respected. The man in the story acts arrogantly when he thinks his skills and knowledge are enough to keep him alive. The second theme is that humans can learn from animals. The man is accompanied by a dog and, since the narrator reveals the thoughts of the animal, readers can see the dog is actually wiser. The dog knows when they should stop and make fire. He also knows that, if the man fails to save the both of them, he (the dog) must dig a hole in the snow to survive. Finally, the third theme is that wisdom can be gained by listening to those who are more experienced. The main character was advised by an old man in Sulphur Creek to not go out without a companion. His arrogance prevented him from listening but, while suffering, he remembers those words and realizes their value.
