He uses metaphors and similes to once again paint that picture for the reader. This fits under the details that White gives throughout these last few paragraphs. There is also a wide use of metaphors, similes, and personification. These all appeal to any of the five senses of the reader and with the mix of that appeal as well as the immaculate details he adds in, White is able to allow the reader to create a picture of their own while still summing up his trip to the lake as accurately as possible and really creating what he truly saw summer after summer as he traveled there as a kid and now as an adult with his own son and seeing everything change over the years.
He says things like “rusty screens” and “doughnuts dipped in sugar”. Also by appealing to the senses of the reader, this forces White to use the amount of great detail that he does. By appealing to the sense of the reader, the reader is really able to put their self on the lake in Maine and paint a picture in their head of what it was like waking up day after day on the lake. He talks about “the smell of the swamp” and “the sun shone endlessly day after day”. White appeals to the senses of the reader more than anything else in his last few paragraphs. White uses immaculate details and several forms of rhetoric to let the reader really envision the summary of his trip to the lake in Maine. In his story, Once More to the Lake, E.B. It gives the reader an opportunity to see what the writer sees and to envision it for theirselves. When given enough detail, the endings of stories are by far the best part. A quick summary is one of the most common ways for a writer to sum up his or her thoughts and really give the reader a look in to what they were thinking when writing the rest of their story.
