It struck him as curious that he could run at all on feet so frozen that he could not feel them when they struck the earth and took the weight off his body. He seemed to himself to skim along above the surface, and to have no connection with the earth. Somewhere he had once seen a winged Mercury, and wondered if Mercury felt as he felt when skimming over the earth.

     This paragraph stuck out to me because of how London could put into words the feeling of numbness. I have searched for a long time to put those feelings into words, but have never found them. He also used one of my favorite subjects, Greek Mythology. He did so by using Mercury as an example. Everybody who knows Greek myths Knows Mercury is the messanger god. He flys from place to place useing winged sandels.That is why I noticed this paragraph.
