compare the travel experiences of Peter Jon Lindberg in “Summerland” and E.B. White in “Once More to the Lake.” Consider such questions as these (they are suggested issues to consider; you may shape your essay around different themes): What signal aspect(s) of personal identity does each writer address? How does travel enable their self-discovery? What features of place open the doors of awareness, and with what result? What effects does memory and familiar scenes have upon the discovery of “meaning” in the travel experience?
