The writer does provide somewhat of an introduction that is attention grabbing, but I believe the first paragraph is too long for an opening.
White does focus on the major points of the essay that are relevant but does cover a few areas that are about his life story too.
His descriptions of the lake and all it entails are very deep to read, nearly pulling the reader into the environment itself.
He has no quotes or speeches, but does relate his experience to when he was growing up and with an eerie feeling he felt as though time had not elapsed.
In the way White had described family vacations, I could relate to wanting the same experiences for my children when we visit old familiar spots.
He kept his essay to the point and did not add fillers to his story. He tied the people and places together that were relevant to the essay.
I smiled at the ending where this father could relate to the physical pain of pulling up cold britches. It was a good way to conclude this story of reliving a family tradition.
