His use of first person tells the story as if he were face-to-face with me. He did so while giving his recount of his visit to the lake with his father. The more clearly you tell your story, the more emotionally engaged your audience is likely to be. As mentioned in the above paragraph with examples, White gave life to the sensory imagery he produced. White also effectively combined the descriptive and narrative methods of writing. He creates even more images using words that appeal to the senses greatly with lines like, ".smell of the pine-laden air." and, ".the noise they made was a sedative, an ingredient of summer sleep." A strong metaphor that White used was, ".stillness of the cathedral.," to describe the placidity of the area he was in. Like here with, ".two-track road," and, ".bait box." White personifies a car as a person standing and possibly watching with the line ".cars stood in front of the store." It is a line as such that puts the essay into your mind as a movie. His use of personification and alliterations bring the essay to life. White did not over-crowd, or bog down his essay with them he simply connected them and let them flow together evenly. He used strong ones that put forth a message in just the right places. White used a nicely planned set of rhetorical devices. Not only did White use numerous rhetorical devices, but he combined rhetorical methods to bring his past to our present. White uses a myriad of rhetorical devices in his essay that paints a picture and puts you directly into the story. Even though the essay takes places while he is in his older years, it focuses more on his childhood state with his father at the same location. White's "Once More to the Lake," essay is a reflection upon a family experience he had beside his favorite childhood area.
