Explanation:

Jack London's "To Build A Fire" is a short story about an inexperienced man's attempts to overcome the forces of nature with his own will. The unnamed protagonist of the story end up dead in the cold snowy forest of the Yukon territory.

The setting of the story is the mountainous region of the Yukon territory. And at the time of the story, it was snowing heavily and the weather had also become worse. Despite being warned by an older man not to venture into the forest, the unnamed protagonist went ahead, taking a dog along with him. He had planned to reach the mining camp where his friends are waiting for him. The cold and severe condition of the forest pose a threat to his very existence. He even tried to build a fire to make himself warm but left it soon after. His stubborn nature, his refusal to even trust the dog's natural instincts about the weather, the refusal to even stay with the fire to make himself warm all add to his own death.

The setting of the story- the Yukon territory, creates the conflict in the story where the main character is inexperienced and was not familiar with the surrounding forces that he was to deal with.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
