Rainy Mountain

In the introductory paragraph of Rainy Mountain, the narrator sets the tone by giving us some background information on the Kiowas because they are his people, and he also goes into deep detail to describe Rainy Mountain. He begins to go in depth with his descriptions in the first paragraph to give you an idea of what his view of Rainy Mountain appeared to him as. As he gazes over his ancestors land he begins to give us an overview of all the different happenings throughout the seasons at Rainy Mountain, to give us an understanding of how diverse this one stretch of land that his ancestors call home. I think his reason for going in depth about Rainy Mountain in the introductions ties into the rest of the story of Rainy Mountain but specificly the conclusion where he reveals to us that his Grandmother's and other ancestor's grave's are on Rainy Mountain. So i can deffenatley see his reasoning for describing rainy mountain early on in the passage to kind of give us a sense of what it would really be like, especially if you had a deep connection with such a beautiful place like the narrator has with rainy mountain.
