He was also only had underwear on! He could’ve been dead after that terrible decision. Even if he wasn’t in the water for that long, he could’ve still been freezing on land. One of many other foolish decisions that Cole makes is that he attacks the Spirit Bear because it defied him. Why would anyone attack a 700…

    were wrapped in fours. A Mello-Roll ice cream assembly line’s starting point was a freezing machine called a Vogt Instant Freezer invented by C. W. Vogt in 1930.

    Additionally, the dog judges both the man and his actions. For example, the dog thinks to itself, "This man did not know cold. Possibly all the generations of his ancestry had been ignorant of cold, of real cold, of cold one hundred and seven degrees below freezing point" (1830). This conveys the idea that the dog knew the dangers of the climate of the Klondike, whereas the man did not, and if their relationship was stronger, the dog may have tried to bring those dangers to the man's attention.…

The character states, “I don’t know what you’re going to prove by freezing to death” (Line 24), but carries on to give her his advice. His advice is unbelievable as he claims mixing water and Kool-Aid will prevent the mixture from freezing. This is hard to imagine, as readers surely enjoyed a Kool-Aid Popsicle when they were younger, especially on a hot day. After his advice, the tone is set…
