Another Personal Narrative - White

The introduction grabs my attention.  He does focus on significant events that took place in the summers at the lake.  Yes, the descriptions include sensory details that help me visualize them. The writer did not quote speech or dialogue. I don’t feel like the events were described in a way that allowed me to connect them to experiences in my own life.  He does explain how important this lake was to him in the summers as a child and he wanted to go back there to relive his experiences and see if it has changed.  He often felt like a boy himself at the lake and had trouble distinguishing at times if he was the father or son.  I don’t think the conclusion reinforces the point of the story.
