Food shortages were a key problem in Russia as it meant the people were starving and desperate. It has consistently been a problem to the rulers of Russia such as the Provisional government. The people wanted change but they also wanted grain to feed themselves and their family. It was important that the food crisis would be solved by the Bolsheviks in order to gain the support of the people; however, due to Russia’s poor transport and little fertile land, it was simply an impossible job for any party or rulers of Russia especially due to the high demand of the huge populace. The demand for food has always been high in Russia which meant that no matter what reforms or radical changes a party can bring in, if they can’t feed the people there will always be bitterness which can and did result in opposition to Lenin and his Bolsheviks.

We have used up a lot of our goods for barter on trading with the natives for food. We must be desperate. Some of us bought dogs from them to eat. I was personally not happy about this and the natives even ridiculed us and gave us the name “dog eaters.” We left our horses behind, trusting the Nez Perce would have them for us when we return at some point. October 16, 1805 – We entered the Columbia.
Miserable and disconsolate, he wandered about among the many tents, only to find that one place was as cold as another. Here and there savage dogs rushed upon him, but he bristled his neck-hair and snarled (for he was learning fast), and they let him go his way unmolested.” (Pg. 16).

Molly is symbolic of the thousands of children forcibly removed from their families. Her persecution is highlighted in the scene when Mr Neville, chief protector of Aborigines, is trying to “breed them out”. Neville is experiencing difficulty in his attempt to extinguish the powerful sense of belonging that Molly has to the land and her people. Molly speaks in her traditional Aboriginal language saying “we don’t belong here; we are going to our country, our home back at Jigalong”.

Thanks to its natural instincts and its dense winter coat, the dog survives the extreme temperature long enough to head for camp; where it knows it will find food and warmth. Without fur or instinct, The Man is too frail on his own to withstand nature— or “the cold of space”—as it presents itself in the Klondike: “The cold of space smote the unprotected tip of the planet, and he, being on that unprotected tip, received the full force of the blow.
