There are many types of literature to read, some interesting and other tedious; most short stories readers find dull, but they do give several types of life lessons through literary devices. “The Man Who Could Work Miracles” by H.G. Wells and “On the Rainy River” by Kate Chopin are two key examples that use frequent literary devices in their fiction stories. “On the Rainy River” tells of an 18-year-old-boy, who is fixing to be drafted off to fight in Vietnam. Tim starts having thoughts of fleeing from the states and crossing the Canadian border that way he did not have to go into battle.

Follow the River had a lot of dialogue leaving the reader with the feeling that they were battling the Virginia wilderness right along with Mary Ingles. James Alexander Thom used vivid description on everything that he wrote, he painted the picture for the reader with a myriad of words, and he left no leaf undescribed in the Virginia wilderness. The only thing that seemed confusing about this book is that the reader can never figure out where Mary Ingles is , it would help a lot if a map was placed somewhere in the book showing the trail of Mary and her companion.

Our actions and choices are often misjudged and frowned upon by societal eyes, leading us to veer ourselves away from our inner desires. Most of the time we are ashamed for even thinking and following on our true feelings because of the constant fear whether we will still be accepted or not into our society after acting in our inner desire. This conflict leads individuals to submit in the end. However, we face an inevitable regret, the regret of bowing down to the upper hand. For this very reason we turn our heads away from who we really are, society is not always correct, not standing up will be leading to a lifetime of regret. In the short story "on the Rainy River", the author Tim O-Brien suggests the importance of pursuing our personal

Sethe is trying to escape sweet home by crossing the Ohio river. She meets a lady called Amy who is going to help find the underground railroad and get her to freedom. At the same time she’s about to give birth to her daughter in a leaky boat on the Ohio River. This crossing of the Ohio river alludes to the crossing of the middle passage.

This relates to the theme slavery may have led to the destruction of many lives and their identities. Once Sethe crosses the river she’s leaving slavery therefore gaining some

In the short story “On the Rainy River”, Tim O’Brien recalls a traumatic story from his past that only brings him shame and embarrassment as his character evolves. The begging of the story starts when O’Brien’s life is turned around when he realizes he's been drafted for the Vietnamese War, he faced a moral dilemma between going to war and sacrificing his dignity or running from the law and sacrificing his freedom. Analyzing the situation O’Brien is in, he says “All of us, I suppose, like to believe that in a moral emergency, we will behave like the heroes of our youth” which points to the fact that even though he’s against the war, he believes that if he was required to fight for a cause that was dignified, he would make that sacrifice but he couldn’t risk

At first, the story of one woman is told, then the book is separated into a different part telling the story of the other woman. When the stories become associated with one another, the book is separated once again into a different part, telling their stories together, but with chapters separating their points of view on the shared story.
