Essay #2

The prompt i decided to write about was the very first and i’ll be using  “On the Rainy River”. This is mainly because i think this is the text that i understood the best out of all three. It was also the most intriguing and interesting. I chose this prompt with this text because i think it fits perfectly i.e Tim has a transition from being an educated civilian to a military soldier. In this transition he goes through many phases and changes throughout the course of this narrative. He’s constantly battling himself and his mindset in which he really cares about what other people think about him. Apart from that, there is the encounter with Elroy which adds on to his moral dilemma in a more positive way. With all this, i think i’d be able to write a good and lengthy essay on the first prompt apart from the others given.
