The big two hearted river shares similarities with the heart of the sourdough and not by just having the word heart in its name. The story is about a guy, Nick, who goes on a lone adventure into the wild to face nature but also to escape into its beauty. The poem similarly speaks of natures beauty in smaller hints while focuses on the hardships and darker side to nature. Nick experiences the dark side of nature as well when he sees the impact nature can have with fire as even the grasshoppers continue to be black a year later.
“Yet the wild must win” line in the poem connects to the novel as nature had beat Nick when he did not venture into the swamp that day. Swamp fishing is a tragic adventure he saves for another day because he is not done
