Dear Friend!
How are you? I am very fine here. I want to share my experiences that I had during our summer vacation. Our examinations were hectic and I really needed to relax myself. This vacation was a boon to me as I was able to enjoy as well as learn something new. My grandparents took me on a trip to Shimla for three days and the climate was really snowy. It was the first time that I ever saw snow. I had a lot of fun skiing and playing with the snow. After that, I enrolled for computer classes for 5 days. I was taught about how to use adobe Photoshop and other related tools. The classes were very interesting and I feel that you will like it too. I will share my experiences with you at school. I am waiting to see you my friend.
Hoping to hear from you.
Take care!
Yours Lovingly,

These accounts depicted the prospectors as heroes discovering new frontiers and making their own fortunes. They did not describe the suffering of life in the Canadian wilderness.
Contextual information also helps us understand the author’s purpose: to expose the truth about the dangerous conditions faced by prospectors during the Klondike gold rush. London informs his readers of what exactly prospecting involves and the importance of knowing the dangers of the environment and one’s own limits.
