White contrasts the sounds on the lake from his childhood with the present ones when mentioning a boating trip with his son: “In the old days the boats were powered by inboards “and when they were at a little distance, the noise they made was a sedative, an ingredient of summer sleep. . . But now the campers all had outboards and these made a petulant, irritable sound” (White), which displays his inability to accept the technological changes that come around with time, in places that felt very remote in his youth. As White walks down the wharf with his son, he mentions “I had trouble making out which was I, the one walking at my side, the one walking in my pants” (White), showing that although he wishes to relive the entire trip through his son, he is gaining a sense of awareness that he is an individual in a different position than in his past and his environment has also undergone change due to
Sylvia Holik Wiggins ENGL 1101 31 January 2012 One More to the Lake I agree with E.B White in his essay “Once More To The Lake” that “everything was as it always had been”. Starting with the lake itself, the water and its waves, the green grass and boat, the farms and their farmhouses, and the way it all look have not changed to White. Second would be the things his son would love to do once he is at the lake, for example, going fishing, boating, swimming, and just getting up early to enjoy being at this getaway spot. And third, the feeling of being a kid again every time White returns, which is also the reason he would come back year after year. All of this is why everything to White has not changed and will never change.
Immediately after the break, we took the direction of the water park. At that moment the temperature was in the 80 degree. My family and I, were so hot and couldn’t wait to refresh ourselves in the cool water, we walked about half mile before we reached the water park. We went to the locker to put on ours swimming wears and my kids jumped first in the water. The water being cool for my wife and me, we were hesitant to enter on it.
I remember looking down into the water and seeing a crab nestled on a rock. There were Buskers playing piano accordions, and the music followed us as we walked down the boardwalk. It was the perfect day to visit the ocean for the first time. The city is surrounded by tall, thick, green trees; slowly changing color to yellow and orange. As a child, every fall, my parents would take me and my siblings camping.
Trout Lake is located near the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York, surrounded by massive white birch and maple tress, beautiful meadows, and crystal clear water, so clear you can almost see the bottom. It was a place to get away from everyday life, for the weekend or just for a week or two. Trout Lake holds a special place in my heart and I have some really fond memories of spending time there. It's a place where memories are made, like the first time I learned how to swim, the family BBQ'S, sitting around the campfire roasting hotdogs and marshmallow's for s'mores, and holidays, especially the Fourth of July. Spending time at Trout Lake changed my perspective on what the "word" family means.

As soon as doodle and his brother finished eating they went off to Horsehead Landing. When they reached the landing, Doodle was to tired to swim, so he just went with the tides.

He sees his family, friends, his hometown and many others on the other side of the river at first cheering then he imagines them embarrassed for him. He imagines them saying, mean things about him being and coward and a letdown. O’Brien then starts to thing about jumping out the boat but instead stays there and starts to cry.
