Drew McAllister's Discussion Question
In the story To Build a Fire, author Jack London uses Charles Darwin's servival of the fittest theory as one of the driving themes. The example being the man not being able to survive in the cold of the winter forest while the dog could because it had adapted and the man did not. How have you seen this theme in practice eather in nature or in your every day life?

Those who do not adapt get left behind, it is the nature of the the world we live in. You either learn how to survive, or you don't. That simple

Jeffrey Seib- I see this theory all the time in my everyday life. I especially see it at school. Those who study and try hard secceed, and those who are lazy and mindless fail. I also see it in the lunch line also. The people who get to the lunch line first get the good food, and those who wait last in line lose a considerable time to eat lunch and may miss out on the good stuff. I see it in sports a lot also. Those who play good, practise and try hard get a lot of playing time in a game, but those who don't play as well, do not get a whole lot of playing time. Darwin's theory is one of the most relevant themes on the face of the earth.
