Quotes 

• [Travis teaches his student Russell a lesson about death in class] 

  Travis Manawa : So what about this wolf dog? Does he care about the man in the story?

  Russell : Hell, no.

  Travis Manawa : Hell, no? Why?

  Russell : 'Cause the man tried to cut the damn dog open to keep his hands warm. That's gruesome.

  Travis Manawa : It's gruesome, but why would he do that?

  Russell : to build a fire.

  Travis Manawa : But why? Why would he build a fire? Think about it. Think about it. Why would he build a fire?

  Russell : To not die.

  Travis Manawa : [Russell hesitates]  Nailed it! See, man versus nature. London's trying to teach us how not to die.
