The three important people in the essay “Once More to the Lake,” by E.B. White are the author, his son, and his father, and they represent a bond between his son and his father, the author as a child, and death respectively. First, White represents a bond between his son and his father. In the essay, the author recalls his time at the lake stating, “this feeling got so strong I bought myself a couple of bass hooks and a spinner and returned to the lake where we used to go, for a week’s fishing and to revisit
To Hurston the lake is a magical place. In the story "Once More To The Lake" by E.B. White, Hurston really shows the love he has had for the lake since he was a young boy. While his son and him visit the lake he startes remebering all the good times he had with his father. He sees himself in his son and starts feeling like his father.
He believes that it is still the same as it was when he and his father were there. He also feels like he is his father, bringing his son to the lake. He begins his story by telling us the first time he and his family go to the lake in Maine. He describes to us incidents that happened and how the trip became a family tradition. Then, as he grows up, he starts to move away from going to the lake.
Second, White mentions many of the things he would do at the lake as a child and so these are the things his son also loves to do. Everything he sees his son do makes it seem as if the son was he. A lot of the times White gets confused because he is not sure which shoes he’s in. For example, they go fishing and White says, “I felt dizzy and didn’t know which rod I was at the end of.” This reminds him of what he used to do at the lake
Joe would find any work available to support himself, he would take care of the chickens and the garden to ensure he had enough food to survive or he would forage for food, whether it be other peoples food scraps, he never let anything go to waste “no matter how odd, or worthless it might at first appear.” His older brother asked him to move to Seattle to finish his senior year of high school and while there he was approached by the head coach at the University of Washington’s rowing team to try out for the team, as he had the body type, from chopping wood from a young age for work, that the coach was looking for. Joe worked for a year to save enough money to cover his tuition, and it was during this time he proposed to his girlfriend. There were a total of 175 boys who tried out for the rowing team, through gruelling and brutal physical tests, the group was whittled down to 80. Joe had a clear goal to get on the team as he needed it to ensure he had assistance from the University in gaining admission and a grant. He was a social outcast to his peers as he did not have the same upbringing, he didn’t have new clothes and was ridiculed for this, but never let it get him down, even
I met someone who lived in Wilmington at a camp in Charlotte about two years ago. We spent most of the day talking and getting to know each other, and he was an enjoyable person to talk to. Age and residence acted as a large barrier. We talked some after the camp but our friendship would not work out. However, this summer I found out he was moving to Charlotte to live with his grandparents.
Accepting mortality as an inevitable part of life is an obstacle that every must undertake at some time in his or her life. Author E.B. White encounters such a struggle in his essay “Once More to the Lake”, in which he recalls taking his son to a lake retreat in Maine that his father took him to every first week of August in his youth. During the trip, White sees the lake through his son’s eyes but notices variations in the environment as a result of time. He begins to feel more like his father as he watches his son, but has trouble accepting that he, just like the lake, is changing and aging as time passes on.
