Quote Responce

“Songs Of Myself 15” by Walt Whitman

“The married and the unmarried children ride home to thanksgiving dinner…the duck-shooter walks by silent and cautious stretches… Off on the likes the pike-fisher watches and waits by the hole in the frozen surface.”

These quotes were taken form different parts of this passage, these extracts were chosen for it gives the reader at perspective of what is really going on in this story. Seeing that this story is a bunch of snippets of what people are doing it was hard to figure out what was going on. But these excerpts were taken form the begging and the end of the story and they show a progression. The first two snippets of what people are doing are form the beginning of the story and it is talking about the hunting season and the thanksgiving. Then the next snippet is form the end of the story and this one speaks about ice fishing. Form this one can infer that ice fishing only happen when lakes and completely frozen over and this only happens in the dead of winter. So because ice fishing only happens in the dead of winter and thanksgiving takes place in the fall there is a time progression in this story.
