Alice Munro introduces us to the found boat. The setting is the flood river in a small town on a railroad line in the upper north. A state where maple syrup is made. the point of view is third person omniscient. the protagonist is the boat. The theme is freedom. Both for the boat and for the students who found it. There is flurting going on as does happen with high school students. The plot is freedom for the boat and team work.
I thought the boat would have a body in it due to how heavy it appeared to be. I also did not think the boys would allow the s to be in the boat. The ending was not what I had assumed. The focus was taken off of the boat and then onto the students. Somewhat a love story based on the love of the boat and the unurttterd love of Eva and Claton.
