Upon reading E.B. White’s Once more to the Lake, the general presumption I had was that the article provided a deep look at parental relations, but upon my perpetuated reading and research, I have concluded that it has much more to offer.

In the poem, ”Before I Got My Eye Put Out,” it’s about her lost of sight, but throughout the poem she has many metaphors about her lost of sight.

There is a week before Christmas, and we are at my grandmother’s house to celebrate. Every year, my mom’s side of the family gets together for the three major holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. While we are celebrating, there is much laughter and joy.
