In Class
We held small group discussions to analyze To Build a Fire. This counted as a test grade. If you were absent (or did not participate because you hadn't read), the following homework will count as a test grade.

Homework
Write a one to three page TYPED response to the following.

This is a story about a man who goes into the Yukon and freezes to death, but what is it really about? What does this story reveal about humanity? Follow traditional essay formatting in that you will have an intro and a conclusion and examples to prove your point, but feel free to play around with the format a little. What I'm really interested in is your ability to analyze the text and reveal what YOU got out of it.
