"Once More to the Lake"
This reading dealt with the reminiscence of a father on a family fishing trip. It is a very relaxing reading. It is written to make us feel the way the father felt when he was a child and now that the roles have switched. He was once the child that looked up to his father, but now times have changed and the roles are reversed and he is the father teaching his son. This story has a kind of bittersweet feeling to it as he realizes that life is a cycle and eventually his son will be in his same position. I feel like the purpose/meaning of this story is to show the audience the cycle of life. We can live in the moment and cherish the small things like this man has done, but everything comes to a bittersweet end and we can only hope to have left a legacy.
