In Paragraph 37 of Jack London's "To Build a Fire,"
why does the man stop
running?

B. He is too tired to run and decides to die
in his sleep.
C. He slows down so his dog can catch up
to him.

B. He is too tired to run and decides to die  in his sleep.

Explanation:

In ''To Build a Fire'' a man is traveling in the Yukon in very cold weather with a dog. He attempts to build a fire multiple times but fails each time as the cold and snow snuff it out.

When he predicts that he was nearing death as the cold got worse, he decided to start running in order to get blood circulating around his body but it is too cold and he is too tired so his endurance fails him and he stops running. He now accepts that his death and meets it with perceived dignity by deciding to fall asleep and die from there.

in the sonnet 116 written by william shakespeare we can analyze the symbolism and say that he reuses the idea of love like a guiding star for the sailor.

reading through the poem we find out that in the line 7 there is a metaphor for the lover that is heading through the life events by love itself .
