"To Build a Fire" has several similarities as well as differences to the stories and or philosophies of Emerson and or maybe Thoreau And or their stories that include but are not limited to or are they, no they are not. The previously mentioned stories are preferably named "Civil Disobedience" and the other one could possibly be "Self Reliance" Now all typos are fixed and everything in the world makes all the sense. Their philosophies include them being abolitionists, liking small government, and of course they have a strange deluded and senile obsession with self worth or something, along with the added non benefit of Christian values. "individuals have a right—even a duty—to resist unjust government actions."(Thoreau) "That government is best which governs least" (Thoreau). "It must be that when God speaketh he should communicate, not one thing, but all things; should fill the world with his voice; should scatter forth light, nature, time, souls, from the centre of the present thought; and new date and new create the whole." (Emerson) “I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave’s government also” (Thoreau). These are the main philosophies of Emerson and too many vowels guy. Now one may ask how does the story about fire compare to these philosophies that are in the previously mentioned things and stuff. The fire building story is all about individual worth as it has a guy surviving in the cold, which is individual worth and stuff like that and all the good stuff that is good and stuff stuff. The concept of a man surviving against the concept of nature trying to kill him because of what he may or may not have done at that New Years Eve party that may have made nature mad enough to try and hunt him down with the forces of nature that have indeed tried to kill him on several occasions.
