Jack Londons Perspective of a Current Event

With spring time finally rolling in all the usual season thunderstorms are hitting. Most people think of taking cover when bad storms hit to avoid and possible casualties or injuries. What most people don’t think about though is the people working for the storm. That is the people identifying its actual forte and publicizing it for us viewers to see. This team includes of the weather man, meteorologists, and storm chasers. The Discovery Channel on television has a fairly new series called Storm Chasers. On this show a team of men set out to do some of the most dangerous unthinkable tasks. The goal of the “storm chasers” is to track down the largest tornadoes in Tornado Alley and then to go inside the core of the tornado and survive. Unfortunately one of the storm chasers, Matt Hughes, passed away recently from a fatal accident at home. While we viewed him as heroic and strong for doing what he did Jack London would probable perceive him as foolish and irrational. London would have believed in his right to death just because death simply happens. He would have believed that in the end the stronger force would come out on top. Even though Matt Hughes didn’t die because of environmental causes he still worked on the line of extreme danger and played with fate all the time. If Hughes were to be a character in one of Jack London’s naturalistic stories he would have died chasing down one of the tornados. It would have been a man versus nature event between Hughes and his prey and where normally Hughes would win something would go wrong and he would pass away. Jack London would have exposed all the jeopardies to the extreme giving Hughes more of a humorous unwise view rather than the actual courageous gallant man he actually was.
