English
1 answer:
MAXImum [283]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is option letter C (Instinct prevails over intellect). In the short story “<em>To Build a Fire</em>” by Jack London (1902), a unnamed man sets out to the old camp on Henderson Greek against all <u>warnings</u> against it, since he should cross a pine forest with the temperature of −75 °F (−59 °C). A dog, a husky dog, accompanied the man all the way. Even though its instinct tells it not to travel under such conditions, the man doesn't seem to bother. In the description of the man’s struggle against nature, London uses <u>the dog</u> as an element that functions as <em>a symbol</em> of how <u>instinct</u> can be better than the knowledge you think you have. There are several moments when the dog’s instinct tells it to come back because continuing with the trip is nothing but trouble. The arrogance of the man not trusting the dog’s instinct leads him to his slow and painful death. The <em><u>instinct</u></em><em> </em>could have same the man.

How is the theme of the relationship between humans and nature discussed in each piece? "the way to rainy mountain" and ''How th
ollegr [7]

1. The Way to Rainy Mountain is the story of the Kiowa Tribe. The Kiowa tribe relied on hunting for sustenance. Their history says that they emerged from a log. Their existence is very spontaneous and natural. The tribe was also decimated by natural disasters. The tribe didn't last long. Thus, the human-nature relationship in this literary piece is that Humans cannot exist without nature. Nature decided the longevity of the tribe. Nature dictated who will survive to this day as with natural selection.

2. In the piece "How the World was Made" there is one central character, Maheo. Maheo is all powerful and was responsible for all creation. The human-nature relationship in this story is that of a creator and his creation. Here, Maheo created nature and decided their fate.

The two literary pieces are opposites when it comes the their relationship with nature. Both present great contrasts into how each tribe regarded nature.
