The theme of Rogers' essay is to enjoy your adventures whether alone or with someone else. She and Emily served as foils showing the enjoyment in a solo adventure along with traveling with a friend.
Rogers uses alliteration throughout the piece as a small means to keep the reader interested. One example is "building become on billowing beige" (163). This has a kind of flow that seems natural to the reader.
Also, Rogers uses personification to better explain her environment and to keep the reader's attention. An example of this is "river grass snags my paddles" (163). Her use of language is one tool that she uses to convey her message.
