Right off the bat Dillard begins her short essay with a quote that instantaneously brings to our attention the tone of her first paragraph, that she is carefree. She informs us of why she is there that day and what she is doing. The reason is to scare frogs, and is why she was on the edge of that island that summer day. From the very first sentence where she says, “A couple of summers ago I was walking along the edge of the island to see what I could see in the water, and mainly to scare frogs” (Dillard) we quickly get a sense of her tone. The use of the word ‘summer’ automatically makes us feel light-hearted and happy. Summer is a time where everyone is relaxed and easy-going, because for the most part there are no responsibilities that need to be taken care of. Summer evokes a feeling of being carefree. Even just the flow of her opening sentence makes your voice sound upbeat and bounce up and down. The word ‘summer’ also evokes a sense of excitement, not just being carefree.

But I want to think a little about summer. Why do we like it so much and cherish it’s every day? Why does it so much influence our mood?

A positive feature of summer is being in tune with your senses. For example, smelling fresh cut grass in the morning, bon fires at night and barbeques, that is how you know summer has arrived. One of my favorite moments of summer is in the late night hearing my family around the bon fire laughing reminiscing on life events or strolling down memory lane. And in that moment if I want to tune them out and be in tune with nature I could clearly hear the crickets chirping away and the buzz zapper zapping mosquitoes every few minutes. As for a negative aspect of summer would be going into your car after shopping for 3 hours and feeling the heat rush all over your body, making it worse if you have leather seats burning your thighs and legs. Not a good feeling!…
