" On The Rainy River"

In On The Rainy River, it was very sad. He was drafted to the war. HE had his whole life ahead of him and the war just stepped in and brought that whole scenario to an end.That summer was just depressing for Jimmy. He couldnt get dates because of his job at the meatpacking plant he had been drafted to the war. He felt as if his life was collapsing around him. Jimmy didn't want to be fighting in a war he neither supported or would ever fight for. this is very ironic how he of all other men and women out there was chosen when he has made efforts against the war now..he is apart of it.

  1. Who was drafted? Not Jimmy, but the character Tim O'Brien. The novel shifts point of view throughout.
