Personal Narrative Essay: Pig Lake

401 Words2 Pages

It was a beautiful day. The breeze was from the west and I was heading up north to go fishing. No, I wasn’t going to go by myself. In fact, I was going with a friend name Luke Jones. We arrived at about noon hoping we would fish till dark. We went to the first lake called Pig Lake in Lard County. The day started off rough as I snapped Luke’s line as I was going back to cast. At first he though it was a weed or a fish but found out I hooked his line. About an hour and zero fish we decided to go for some bass. As I threw the frog a bass hit and I set a hook but I smacked him in the face but missed the fish. Five minutes later we decided to leave and go to a different lake. After we got to the lake we got to one spot and we got some good sunfish.

Just like earlier in the piece, he mentions how peaceful and “enchanted” the lake was, seeming as though you could escape for a few hours and upon your return see that nothing had changed.

    The boy knew exactly what to do when he hooked the bass, knew how old it was, and knew what areas of the water he should be in if he wanted to keep the bass on the line. The next excerpt I used from the novel to aid my prediction was how the boy had practiced fishing his entire life. In the short story when the boy is cleaning the canoe for his date, he automatically mounted one of his reels along with his rod and stuck them to the boat. From this, the reader can infer the boy has most likely been fishing his whole life, if just by habit every time he gets into a boat he immediately starts fishing.

    Smooth, oval rocks lined the bank of the secretive lake. Discarded and neglected; overlaid with spongy moss and choked by fallen, decaying leaves from the unclothed and withering trees above. As the lake swelled around the ashen boulders, icy, black water lifelessly lapped against the long, thin beams of wood holding up a rickety pier. The structure was covered in splinters and ragged, iron nails, and as it reached out into the centre of the sombre lake, it became more and more distant. Half-cut beams lined the sides of the pier, as nettle patches hissed from the shore when the water drew too near.
