  I think E.B White used a great deal of imagery and emotion when writing this story on part in particular caught my eye. “They stayed indoors, kept warm, and ate well, and when there was nothing better to do, they played crokinole. The winter would have passed quietly enough had not someone on the mainland remembered that the Pruitts were out there in the frozen bay.” Mr. White gave me as a reader an essay of great contrast and details to make me feel the Dwelling of this family falling apart.
