The most effective narration mode is first person. By using I and we, E.B white explains his feelings. He wanted to convey to the reader that the father is the son, and the son is the father. The father was similar to the son. It shows that the vacation trip to that specific lake goes on for another generation.


"I began to sustain the illusion that he was I, and therefore, by simple transposition, that I was my father." The quote shows that the father felt like how he felt when he was small. This shows that the vacation trip to that lake went on for another generation. It basically gives him memories about how he act when he was small himself.
