A man was about to be hanged, he wore a red robe that showed he was a fire mage and the peasants were yelling at the man while throwing things at him, the look on that fire mage's face was full of despair, he started to laugh maniacally and yelled at the peasants. "You idiots! You know nothing about that snowstorm! That thing won't give you anything, it will simply take." And so the fire mage was hanged, the firewall of that city fell and the snowstorm froze everyone in that city, they all had smiles on their frozen faces. The Plagued City Once a famous trade city, now a city with empty streets full of rats. A man lied on a bed, he had blisters all over his face and the people treating him also had those, everyone did whatever that man wanted because that man was their last hope.

"We are out of supplies." She said in a grim tone, they both knew they were about to die. The young woman looked quite pale. "I am going to rest." After saying that she left the room, the fire mage looked at the supply list for an hour to find something but he was interrupted by a screaming, he picked up his fire staff and rushed to the source of the voice and he saw a maid lying on the ground in front of the governor's office, she pointed her finger at something. The fire mage slowly turned his head and saw a young woman with a blue dress hanging from a rope. The governor had committed suicide, after seeing this he also went to his room and prepared a rope but when he looked out he saw the snowstorm waiting outside the firewall he created before death he wanted to satisfy his curiosity about the snowstorm and so he went outside.

    Suddenly, they noticed something was passing by them in a distance of a half a mile. ?We perceived a low carriage, fixed on a sledge and drawn by dogs, pass on towards the north.? It was very strange to see another human/carriage on ice. It was a shock to the crew to see a single man on sled drag by dogs through Northern Sea. Comparing to a well equipped ship, the sled looked like a deadly ride.

The man had become annoyed because the accident has now caused him to delay his arrival at the camp. He would have to build a fire to dry himself and his clothes. He walked over to some small trees, that were covered in snow. In their branches were pieces of dry grass and wood. He put several large pieces of wood on the snow, under one of the trees. On top of the wood, he put some grass and dry branches. He then took out his matches, and lighted the fire. To keep the fire growing he added more and more wood. He then rested for a while and continued to on his way to the mining camp. After a while he stopped to start his second fire, which did not really turn out so great because he leaned up against a tree to cut the string from his boots. He did not notice that his fire was under a branch covered in snow, so leaning against it caused the tree to shake and eventually the snow fell and put the fire

  • Analysis Of The Murderous Blizzard Of 1888

    January 12, 1888, a blizzard covered the northwest part of North America that claimed many lives. This blizzard was considered to be the worst blizzard of all time, and was dubbed the “the Schoolchildren’s Blizzard”, for claiming the lives of so many school children on their way home. The death toll of this murderous blizzard rose, because of lack of preparation and being uninformed. During this time, many farmers and families were unprepared to survive a blizzard of this magnitude, by the lack of clothing they wore. Forecasters were not as accurate enough to inform people on the weather conditions. Also, shelter was a major factor in protecting themselves from the winter storms, but the shelter was not stable

His natural optimistic persona wouldn't allow him to entertain the thought that trouble was on its way when the night watchman suggested that all the dead rats meant trouble. He simply replied, "the only thing I'm interested in,' I told him, `is acquiring peace of mind.'"(Camus p.27)

  • How Did Jack London Use Naturalism In To Build A Fire

    1285 Words  | 3 Pages

    At the point when the man had a little fire that was starting to burn the disruption to the tree led to the snow to tumble to the ground and smother the flame. "It was his own fault or, rather, his mistake. He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open." That minor factor of the basic situation of the flame conclusively cost the man his life. The third fault the man made was that he took off his gloves for a lengthy period and his hands turned out to be fully numb. While the man was attempting frantically to relight the flame he took off his gloves and lost all sense in his grasp. On the off chance that he had tried to avoid panicking and reflected on his situation he may have had an opportunity to survive. Nature demonstrated no kindness when the man tried to relight the flame using just his palms, and he broke down. "He was losing his battle with the frost. It was creeping into his body from all sides." The man's disastrous mistakes cost him his life and nature felt no empathy for him. He was simply one more man who neglected to beat nature for one more day. In the event that the man had

    When the narrator introduced the main character of the story, the man, he made it clear that the man was in a perilous situation involving the elements. The man was faced with weather that was 75 degrees below zero and he was not physically or mentally prepared for survival. London wrote that the cold "did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold."(p.1745) At first when the man started his journey to the camp, he felt certain that he could make it back to camp before dinner. As the trip progressed, the man made mistake after mistake that sealed his fate. The man's first mistake was to step into a pool of water and soak his legs to the knees. This blunder forced the man to build a fire to dry his wet socks and shoes so his feet would not freeze and become frostbitten. When the man began to build a fire he failed to notice that he was doing so under a large, snow laden spruce tree where he was getting his firewood. When the man had a small fire that was beginning to smolder the disturbance to the tree caused the snow to tumble to the ground and extinguish the fire. "It was his own fault or, rather, his mistake. He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open."(1750).

    Thinking the old man was overly cautious and crazy, the man brushes off the warning. The old man, presumably a lifelong resident of the Yukon and experienced woodsman, obviously understands the threat and the danger nature presents to naive travelers. After falling through the ice, the man slowly begins to acknowledge there may have been some wisdom in the old man’s warning. The man gives a halfcocked smile when remembering the old man’s advice about running on dry frozen feet versus wet frozen feet. Suddenly the man is desperate to build a fire. The man’s “over confidence in his own abilities led to him making poor decisions and scorning the advice of those who know what they are talking about” (“Overconfidence and Arrogance”). The man, with wet feet and two epic fire failures, entertains the old man’s warning about traveling a little more seriously. If there were two people, one could surely start a fire if the other had some trouble. Refusing to give up, the man runs on his wet frozen feet until collapsing. Nature’s inhospitable side catches up with the man. Sitting helpless in the snow, the man finally acknowledged the old man was correct. Unfortunately, the thought came too late. The man’s failure to look past himself and listen an old man’s valuable advice ultimately contributed to his
