Read the excerpt from part 2 of “to build a fire.” a certain fear of death, dull and oppressive, came to him. this fear quickly became poignant as he realized that it was no longer a mere matter of freezing his fingers and toes, or of losing his hands and feet, but that it was a matter of life and death with the chances against him. this threw him into a panic, and he turned and ran up the creek bed along the old, dim trail. the dog joined in behind and kept up with him. he ran blindly, without intention, in fear such as he had never known in his life. how does this conflict affect the plot? the man runs with renewed vigor and safely returns. the man becomes weak and resigns himself to death. the man is gripped with fear and returns to build his fire. the man sustains an injury and hobbles weakly to camp.

The man is gripped with fear and returns to build his fire.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we can see that the man in question is suddenly in panic. He is gripped with fear as he thinks of the possibility of freezing to death. He realizes that, beyond freezing his fingers and toes, he could also lose his life. This panic gives him the push he needed to go back and build his fire.

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.
