Answer: I'm late but whatever
Explanation:
Plato answer:
From the first few paragraphs, we can infer that the story is about a man's adventure in nature as he is gathering firewood. Characters, Clay and Swanson, are introduced and we can guess that they have a friendly relationship. There are several mentions of Clay being back in time for dinner and we can infer that perhaps this won't happen because something will cause him to be delayed on his search for firewood. Both characters seem to be comfortable in nature so we can guess that they are used to being outside near the Yukon River.
Sample answer:
(Just the Plato answer but reworded differently)
After reading the first paragraphs, an infer can be made that the story is about someone going on an adventure in nature while they need to gather firewood. Eventually, Clay Dilham and Swanson are introduced as what we can guess, the main characters of the story. It seems that they have a close and friendly relationship. Clay mentions multiple times that he will be back in time for dinner but this won't happen since something will cause Clay's journey to get delayed and take him a little longer then he would like for it to. From what the first paragraphs state, we can tell that both Clay and Swanson are used to being never the Yukon River which we can infer that they are both very comfortable in nature.
