Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the use of trope in "Once More to the Lake," by E.B. White to pull the reader into the narrator's experience. The author demonstrates the use of personification to help the objects seem more real and alive such as making the lake seem human, simile to give a clear illustration of the wide back end of the boat and polysyndeton to draw out lists of words that need more emphasis by using "and" between each item instead of the usual comma.

From the Paper:

"Simile is another way White blends trope into the work. "The small steamboat that had a long rounded stern like the lip of a Ubangi." (White 383). These two things resemble one another, and so the reader is given a clear picture of the stern of the ship, as long as they understand what the "lip of a Ubangi" is. The use of simile gives a clear illustration of the wide back end of the boat as it sails around the lake."
