The Lizards

The silliness killed the man

based on "To build a fire"

Based on this history we can critical several features of being human. Human nature being born with certain ways of thinking that makes us distinguishes from each other. In this story other than survival, highlights the human being as arrogant and selfish. It shows how we act when we are in trouble, thinking only of ourselves individually.
I've never had a situation like this and nether identify myself with this story but I can usually identify situations of life and people with whom one associates. We live in a world where people when are confronted with a problem "for his side pull" and don’t care the other peoples. A scene like this is when the man wants to kill the dog for a well for himself. On the other side in this world is much hubris and arrogance of the people, although this is seen in the labor field. Many people to achieve a goal in their lives have the need to feel better than others in order to feel better about himself. This is contrasted in the story in the scene where that man knew he had to return, but instead he wanted to continue his march.
In general, this story of survival helps as people us do a self-criticism to see if we are operating as did this man.
