Between Cisneros’s “Only Daughter” and White’s “Once more to the Lake‚” the audience gets two tastes of starting and ending lines‚ both taking the essay to the same place. Ultimately‚ both beginnings prepare the reader for their flash back story and end with a specific moment during the story that will always stick with them. Although their format was similar and their beginning and ending strategies were alike‚ they both told two different stories where I found Cisernos’s essay coming off as stronger.

I chose to compare “A Prison‚ A Paradise” by John Jeremiah Sullivan and “Once More to the Lake” by E .B. White. There are many reasons to choose to travel; specifically for these two authors‚ it is to visit a place that has meaning to them on more than the “excursion for a day” level. They temporarily suspend their daily lives to take a trip to spend time in a different environment. Both places they choose to visit can be considered at least somewhat remote‚ secluded‚ and‚ for all intents and

In the essay “Once More to the Lake‚” E.B. White speaks nostalgically about previous experiences

By leaving "a Rembrandt painting" at the end of line 4 and "years left anyhow" at line

Once More to the Lake is an essay mainly about how the author/dad‚ E. B. White‚ can’t quite seem to let go of his childhood. A lot of his childhood memories are embedded within the lake and the surrounding areas‚ so he cannot help but constantly reminisce about how things were when he used to visit the lake as a child. This seems to take away from his current visit to the lake in my opinion. He does not seem to want to live in the moment but constantly makes comparisons of how the waitresses were
