∙ 14y agoMan's self-sufficiency was illustrated by the fact that the same thing before building the fire itself was done even after the fire was lit. The raw materials were gathered and made sure to be dry, so that the fire would start. Even the act of going out to collect burnable material shows man's self-sufficiency because man will move and go out for something he needs or wants. The girl who the man thought about in the first part of the story was a key element in showing his self-sufficiency, because he got her pregnant, but threw her down the stairs so she wouldn't be pregnant anymore.
The same idea applies to building the fire and gathering food and supplies to live. When the man made a bong out of the stick by hollowing it out to smoke with, and gathered the water to put in the bong, he knew that he was putting something together that he wanted and needed.
His life would be saved by himself, he would live. He would go on tell the woman he was sorry for throwing her down the stairs, then attempt to create another baby with her. His relationship with the woman is in itself an excellent example of self-sufficiency.
