  I found the title, "The family which Dwelt Apart" fit the essay perfectly.&nbsp; Seven on an island that end up stranded with mentioning of appendicitus set off huge problems with state troopers sending a rescue squad and three lost their lives.&nbsp; I found this essay to be confusing.&nbsp; I had to read it&nbsp;twice.&nbsp; I did like it.&nbsp; After figuring out E.B. White uses a tell-tale,this helped put these images in my mind and I find this can't be possible for all this to happen.&nbsp; The pruitts died from drinking carbolic acid that was left behind by the surgeon whic Pa Pruitt had mistaken for alcohol.&nbsp; The oldest boy charles returns giving his family decent burial and returns to the mainland.
I find E.B. white uses imagination in the essay and as I am reading this,&nbsp; I find my emotions going in all sorts of directions.&nbsp; One minute, I'm shocked and another I am chuckling because of the detailed work with so many bizarre incidents.&nbsp; The reader is keeping my attention in the story with different events going on. I found the essay powerful, sad, and hilarious.&nbsp; A Hard-to-Believe Story.
