1. How old was white when he first went to the lake with his father? how old was he when he took his own son there?
2. What changes did the author notice in the road leading from lake to the farmhouse? what did these changes say about the passing of time?
3. What experience precipitated white's realization that time had passed, that he no longer young, that he was mortal?
from "ONCE MORE TO THE LAKE" by Elwyn brooks white.
