Rain, Rain Don't Go Away
August 28, 2015
S: Daisann McLane, a worldwide traveler and a multi-award winning columnists. She writes a travel section for National Geographic.
O: McLane writes this piece right after she visited India during its Monsoon season and comes to the realization that society treats rain as an “X-rated taboo” (Daisann McLane).
A: She is talking to everyone who travels. Young and old, from anywhere and everywhere. This article is to inform people.
P: Daisann McLane’s purpose in this piece is to tell people that they shouldn’t not go somewhere because it might rain. It seems to be hardwired into our brains that rain brings about sadness and will ruin all of your plans, but McLane offers up several experiences that show without rain pushing her outside of her box, she wouldn’t have found this completely other wonderful side of these places.
S: How rain seems to be something that we push away from, a reality that we refuse to recognize in our travel brochures and books, but really we should embrace it because it leads to new friendships, weird conversations, hidden Knick-knacks, and so many more wonderful things.
Tone: Daisann McLane’s tone is encouraging and passionate throughout the piece as she tries to convince people to forget about the rainy season and just travel. You can see her passion in the way that she talks about how rain has a powerful impact on travel, with “a wide range of emotions” and how it transforms a travelers experience from “just in India…to a traveler in a whirlwind world of water” (Daisann McLane)

Daisann McLane not only tells readers about her experiences with rain, she helps them live it. Through vivid Imagery McLane brings to life her story of when she was in a thatched hut on a cliff overlooking the ocean during a Monsoon rain or how the rain led her to find her favorite mug. By using this detailed Imagery McLane attempts to persuade readers that the rain is not some bad omen during travel, it is actually an incredible opportunity that leads you to places you would have never thought to go.
