In the beginning of the essay, White starts off with the past and moves towards the present. After White is in the present, he keeps flashing back to the past and remembering all of the things that he had done when he previously went there. White continues to look back to the past throughout the story and misses all of the things that he used to do with his family, and what he used to do there. Throughout this whole story, white is having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the lake is immortal, and he is not. With each day and each time he looks at his son, he knows that he is going to keep aging even though the lake wont. The last line on the essay really reiterates this because it shows that the narrator is coming to terms with the fact that he is closer to death, then he is to life.
