write a 200-250 word paragraph that defines the term “imagination” in the context of London’s story

In the third paragraph of the story, London tells us that “the man…. was a new-comer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances.” In short, this is a story about a man “without imagination.”
Usually when we think about “imagination,” we think of artists and creative writers and toys that we give children so they can make believe. We don’t think of it as a life or death characteristic.
Please read our lecture note on the Definition strategy, and write a 200-250 word paragraph that defines the term “imagination” in the context of London’s story.
You’ll begin your paragraph with a topic sentence that identifies the term imagination that you’ve determined exists in the story (it should also include the title and author of the story).
Then, in the body of your paragraph, you will provide instances from the story that serve as evidence for the definition you stated in the topic sentence. There are ideas for developing a definition in our lecture note.
Please do NOT re-tell the whole story–you may assume, that the reader (who is me!) has read it. You are simply pointing out the pieces of the story that support your argument and telling me how those pieces support that argument.
For this assignment, you must quote directly at least one passage from the story. Your quotation must be punctuated properly with quotation marks and with an MLA style parenthetical citation

(all of the quoted words together should not exceed 10% of your total word count–25 words total). Here are three examples:
