Jack London.

Today we are finishing our inquiry of London's chilling narrative. 

Agenda:

1. Pater Noster
2. Finish "To Build a Fire" by London
3. Reading Journal (2/6): London's "To Build a Fire" 
1. Contrast the dog and the man in the story: What motivates the behavior of the dog vs. the man? How do the man and the dog differ in their approach to the cold?
2. Cite 3 quotes that show London's Naturalistic philosophy. Check the Lit Book's definition in the "Elements of Naturalism" (p. 393).
3. Based on the questions above, what moral conclusion do you think London wants us to draw from this story?
4. Review HW:
1. Be perfect.
