He gave details to each and every event that occurred. The mood of this story was remembering details of the past vacations and it allowed you to visibly see how people interact with one another because he painted a picture as he was telling the story. The author purpose was to entertain you about the leisure time he was on vacation. The tone was almost if he was trying to have to compare how vacations was so much fun and enjoyable verses how they are know.

It is a lot easier for a child to enjoy a vacation because children are very easily entertained. As adults, out demands for entertainment and leisure grow considerably.

ReplyDeleteI can tell that you understood what you read. Great choice of the story to read. Your opinion was very creative and I would have never picked that definition for the tone of the story but I think you nailed it.
ReplyDeleteI also thought this piece painted a picture for us. It was very easy to picture yourself along for the father-son trip. Good explanations.
