1.) Yes. His introduction took me back to the days on the farm during my childhood, and we got ringworm as well from the old farm cats. And everyday was like camping out, never a dull moment.
2.) Yes. The writer is very specific with details that are significant to him. Such as taking his son to the spot he used to go to as a child to camp and experiencing the things he did as a child. His example made me laugh about having water go up his nose from the lake. Been there.
3.) Yes. The description of the lake as cool and motionless and how the bedroom smelled of the lumber it was made of and the smell of the wet woods as it sifted throught the screen in the window.
4.) The writer speaks of his father and how he feels like he in his shoes, but no specific dialogue is really mentioned.
5.) Yes. He is very descriptive, specifically he mentions walking back from the lake with only two tracks to follow instead of three as he remembers. He describes the dusty field and the flaky dry manure. Puts me right back to those days out in the pasture walking back to house to eat dinner. Those paths made by my grandfathers truck and the animals.
6.) Yes. The events the writer describes are with fond memorys of the days he and his father went to the lake to camp and fish. He brings that out in every part of the essay. He appreciates the time spent and has fond memories.
7.) Yes. His conclusion gives a lasting impression on the reader as to how he wanted to spend time with his son as his father hd spent with him and the irony that the years has not passed by. His last line is hilarous.
