Cold Mountain

John Myers Theme 1 Cold Mountain Written from a third person, perspective point of view, Cold Mountain is a novel that depicts the themes of self-determination, undying love, generosity, and self-reliance, several themes that are found in society. Author Charles Frazier creates the characters of Ada and Inman to take on a quest of self-discovery as they live through the aftermath of the Civil War and try hopelessly to move on and hopefully find their way …

…found each other again. Although the novel is a very long read, I believe that the themes and messages that are delivered can relate to anyone's struggles in life, I know several of the themes related to my own life. This is a novel about self-discovery, finding out who you really are, and what your capable of accomplishing. For anyone who has a quest or a long-term goal in life, I suggest reading Cold Mountain.
