Sexual Abstinence I believe in being abstinent because if I choose to have sex before marriage then I may get pregnant. The last thing I want is to have a baby with no husband.

Oliver utilizes several literary techniques‚ like figurative language and structure‚ to further develop the strong connection between nature and life. Oliver writes: Figurative language can give shape to the difficult and the painful.
