Holden goes to Central Park in New York City, and sits by the frozen pond where, in the Spring, the ducks would be swimming. He is despondent, having left the hotel because of his confrontation with Maurice. He sits there thinking that he could get pneumonia and die.

He starts to think about his death and his funeral, who would attend, then he remembers that his mother is still mourning the loss of her son, Allie. The thought of his sister Phoebe being sad at his death is what stops Holden from staying in the park and freezing to death.

It is his love for his sister that keeps Holden from committing suicide

Sophie has written this topic sentence in her literary analysis:

frozen [14]

The textual aspect that most effectively ties into Sophie's theme is "Snow from a tree branch soaked the man’s newly built fire."

<h3>What is the detail of Sophie's topic sentence?</h3>

A topic sentence summarises the information that will be delivered in a paragraph by expressing the main idea or point of that paragraph.

Additionally, the next phrases in that paragraph must offer proof to back up the topic statement.

This means that since nature's impact on prospectors is mentioned in the subject sentence regarding Jack London's "To Build a Fire," the textual evidence that best supports the topic.

Since it depicts a scenario in which a prospector had difficulties due to a natural element (snow), "Snow from a tree limb wet the man's newly built fire." is appropriate.
