This story was very interesting. It got my attention by showing very lifeful situation of family going on the summer vocation. Little satiric and ironic injections made it also very intertaining. However situation irony of this story made me sad about this story after I was done reading because what happened at the end didn't go with what I was expecting. The whole family dies and it is all very tragic, and at the beginning I thought that it would be really easy and fun trip with lots of fights between son and mother, and kids.

Annie, I expected a much stronger reaction to this than you gave. WE spoke this morning and you were pretty upset by the ending then.
