Answer: How cold is too cold? In the short story 'To Build a Fire,' by Jack London, a miner in the Canadian Yukon finds out exactly how much cold and snow he can take before he dies. This lesson will focus on the summary, setting, and quotes of 'To Build a Fire'.

Hope this helps.... Stay safe and have a great Christmas!!! :D

Answer:

The story is set in the Yukon during the great Klondike Gold Rush, when over 100,000 people flocked to Canada's Yukon Territory in search of instant fortune. This mass migration brought a lot of young men into a very harsh wilderness, and a fair few of them had now idea how brutal their lives would become.

Hope this helps, have a great day/night, and stay safe!
