E.T.3. The author tends to ponder on his memories, more than describing the new scenary as he returned, this time with his son. Much of the story was the author recalling his previous experience. The observer's perspective of his previous trips to this lake was the calm, solitary feeling of "simply being". He described this area as if it was a whole different unique world in itself, where the sun shone endlessly day after day, where the breeze would stir up the sweet scent of the lake, letting it drift through each and every one of his memories of this place. His opinionated comments more often evolved around his memories, than actually describing the scene infront of his eyes. When he commented about the differences and changes in this place, they were often to his disappointment, reluctant to notice the passing by of years.
D.V.2. "Summertime, oh, summertime, pattern of life indelible, the fade-proof lake, the woods unshatterable, the pasture with the sweetfern and the juniper forever and ever, summer without end;" paragraph eight. I would see this as a more sentimental part of the passage. The author, with great enthusiasm, creates a picture of this lake being in an unbelieveable environment, where summer never ends, and everything is the way it always has been. On the other hand, more hesitantly, he still noticed the changes his surroundings, things that were different from his memory of what this place used to be.
The passage refers to the "Lord's Prayer" "forever and ever, world without end," to indicate that the author regards the experience as something special, perhaps a glimpse of permanent or eternal value and beauty. A sentimental style suits the author's purpose for writing the piece. <-- Answer, from Chapter lesson 2.f
