“The novels “A River Runs Through It” by Norman McLean and “Montana 1948″by Larry Watson are both stories set in rural area of Montana and depicts the life of a rural- living family in the United States. While both novels’ recurring theme is life in the rural area and family relationship, one of the most important themes that affects the conflict that happens in both stories is the sibling relationship of the sibling characters in both novels. In McLean’s novel, the siblings here are Norman and his younger brother Paul, while Watson’s novel talks about the relationship that Wesley Hayden had with his doctor brother Frank Hayden.”
