next move. As humans, it is inevitable that every question cannot be answered; not every response may be the most appropriate in a situation, however, it is not his faults nor follies that define him---unless he allows them to.

London teases the audience with his own political beliefs when the man sends the dog forward to test the ice and after it breaks through the weak ice, he helps it remove the ice from its paw. If “To Build a Fire” were to portray his true beliefs the entire story, a mutual relationship would be created by the nameless man and his surrounding

the dog and the environment they were in, their fates were sealed. Jack London reveals key characteristics about the nameless man throughout the story that allow the audience to piece together a character analysis.

left is the Orangutan politicians. Look how they throw feces at each other.” However, no matter the medium Rand uses, the theme of The Fountainhead announces from within Rand’s text. Through blunt diction and, more specifically, the moment where a nameless young man views Monadnock Valley, Rand explores the motif of “individualism versus collectivism, not in politics, but in man’s soul.” I recall how I first reacted as I opened up the first page dense novel and how lofty ideals of possible scholarship

reader to follow leads to even more confusion for the reader. In The Odyssey, the structure Homer uses and his own arrogance leads to a confusing nameless main character for the start of the story, the many different themes, and non-chronological events only lead to confusion for the reader throughout the story.
