Realism refers to any effort to offer an accurate and detailed portrayal of actual life or realists developed their settings in great detail in an effort to recreate a specific time and place for the reader. Naturalist creates characters who are victims of environmental forces and internal drives beyond their comprehension and control. In the story "How to build a fire" starts out with his dog, where he was trying to meet up with some friends at a mine that was a nine mile hike. He and his dog set out. It was negative -80 degrees, but he didn’t think anything of it. So he gets his legs wet. He tries to make a fire under a tree where it was out of the elements. The sticks that he takes from the tree he uses for the fire but the snow on the higher branches collapses and snuffs out the fire he made. That would be the example of naturalism the things you can’t control. The reason was that he couldn’t control the snow from falling on the fire. The realism part of it was that he had matches that he used to start the fire. He got it going with birch bark that he got from the tree. That would be the realism example.
