How does Jack London show that his main character’s inability to plan for possible problems eventually leads to his death? Use textual evidence from this excerpt to support your answer.

But all this—the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all—made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a newcomer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It 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; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.

The main character doesn't understand that the cold will be more than he can bear. He also doesn't seem to be very good at thinking ahead and planning for problems. These two weaknesses are what lead to the man's death. This part of the excerpt shows that the main character does not have the ability to plan for the worst:

The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It 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; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.

In this part of the excerpt, London states that his character "is without imagination." London also writes that the man is only "quick and alert in the things of life," but doesn’t understand the meaning of those things. This quotation suggests that the man was unable to imagine what he had never experienced. Since he had never experienced the harsh cold, he didn’t understand that his body wouldn’t be able to handle the harsh weather of the Yukon. That’s why he wasn’t prepared. He assumed that his trek would only be "cold and uncomfortable" rather than deadly. In the end, he must face his own foolishness.

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.
