Critique:
Genre: This story is about the author's past summers. They are a specific memory of her childhood, describing in detail about her past. It is also realistic because many of the memories the author talks about could easily happen to other people. She makes the memories believable where they could occur to anyone.
Plot: The plot of the story is not typical in that it contains no climax, problem, or resolution. Since it is an autobiography, it is written more as a collection of memories about her summers in the past. Therefore, she doesn't have a problem that needs to be solved, or one event that because the highlight of the story.
