When we arrived, we played a game called knuckle ball, what was very unique about playing it at Evans Lake was they had a arena built for it, the game was very fun.

    In the short story "Greasy Lake" by T. Coraghessan Boyle, the narrator uses first person point of view to convey how "bad" he and his friends were when they were just out of high school. The author chooses this point of view to illustrate to readers that pretending to be someone that you aren't, could affect your judgment and leave you facing major consequences. The rebellious teenagers acted as to rebels that were dangerous, wearing leather jackets, drinking gin, reading provocative literature, and staying out all night. However, throughout the short story, the narrator tends to mock himself and his friends because they both know they aren't really dangerous and only show their rebellious side on the outside. For example, He says they "struck…

    T. Coraghessan Boyle’s short story, “Greasy Lake,” is a work of fiction that is meant to display the absurdities of the American teenage experience. Published in 1985, Boyle is quick to contextualize the work within an 80s teenager’s frame of reference; he opens the story with a lyric from a Bruce Springsteen song, “Sprit of the Night,” which acts as Boyle’s first symbol in the story, a tribute to the teenagers of the decade in which the story is published. But, from the content, it can be surmised that the story takes place near the time of the Vietnam War, so Boyle’s appeal to 80s rock culture makes the work symbolic, meant to encapsulate the teenage male spirit. Through a series of symbols, Boyle’s story both depicts and satirizes the teenage American male ethos. Boyle’s language often contains metaphors that entrench the reader deeper in the…
