Well, I am happy to admit that my expectations about the plot of the story were mostly correct. A thrilling story with a gripping plot - that's what I like! The ending, however, hadn't been predictable. And that's one more reason for me to enjoy a literary work. While reading the story I kept on hoping that the character would survive, despite he is described as a person, who is not so worth sympathizing.
Though the central theme of the short story is the conflict of man vs. nature, another issue seemed to me to be of no less importance. It is a man's desperate need of companions in a difficult situation. To my mind, the story's message is that no matter how self-confident and independent people are, they do need somebody to support them.

Well, I see, this story is written in the style of all Jack London's stories. For me, they are almost all very complicated, and difficult to read. But they are always interesting, and it's not a secret, I wanna read "To build a Fire" too. Hopefully, I'll find time and enjoy it, as u did)))
