The texts‚ “Undaunted Courage” and “The Way To Rainy Mountain” depict the land as a spiritual entity that’s worth being worshipped and respected as shown by man’s praise of it. The way man‚ rather than exploit it for profit‚ respects the land through animism shows their gratitude for it.

From The Way to Rainy Mountain A single knoll rises out of the plain in Oklahoma‚ north and west of the Wichita Range. For my people‚ the Kiowas‚ it is an old landmark‚ and they gave it the name Rainy Mountain. The hardest weather in the world is there. Winter brings blizzards‚ hot tornadic winds arise in the spring‚ and in summer the prairie is an anvil’s edge. The grass turns brittle and brown‚ and it cracks beneath your feet. There are green belts along the rivers and creeks‚ linear groves

l`My favorite fruit is Mango. During summer mangoes are available in plenty. But we have to choose them correctly. Nowadays calcium carbide is resorted in mango ripening. Green mangoes are kept along with calcium carbide in godowns so that they ripen faster within two days. Then they are sold to shopkeepers.

Another repetition of words was when he was describing his childhood he kept saying how "I saw

Gaddiel O. Matira Is it fair to hold individuals responsible for a choice society pressured them to make? Canada might have been one of the best places in the world but for me and Tim‚ Canada is a lot more than that. For Tim O’ Brien’s “On the Rainy River”‚ Canada is freedom: freedom from the draft letter that pressures him to go to war‚ freedom from the war that he never understood and always hated‚ freedom from the dirt‚ tent‚ and mosquitoes‚ freedom from that dense greasy pig-stink and blood
