Question

Read the excerpt from an adaptation of "To Build a Fire.”

The thought of it drove him on again, but he ran no more than a hundred feet before staggering and pitching headlong. It was his last panic. It occurred to him that he had been making a fool of himself, running around like a chicken with its head cut off. He was bound to freeze anyway, and he might as well take it decently and meet death with dignity. With this new-found peace of mind came the first glimmerings of drowsiness. A good idea, he thought, to sleep off to death. Freezing was not so bad as people thought. There were lots worse ways to die.
