The lake or any lake can easily be compared to a national memory. Memories are stored in the control center of our bodies. This is otherwise known as our brain. The brain contains everything we have been through and how we dealt with those issues. It remembers every part of our past and though we are unable to obtain all of those memories they are always there. The brain though only part and relatively small can store massive amounts of data.
Lakes are the same way. Though they can consist of hundreds of miles they are still small when being compared to the size of the entire country. However though they are small, lakes are able to hold millions of things ranging from algae to big fish such as bass. All of these things are living together even though you may be unable to see all of them. The reason lakes can be compared to a national memory is because they are immensely big and can contain all of the memories that a nation has. Lakes can be compared to the human brain of a nation. Lakes are small but are still part of the nation and with the exception of erosion and minute changes they generally stay the same.
Lakes are not like people. They do not die off in eighty years. They are there through all the good and the bad times and as such they are able to say that they were part of the nation during all the historical moments. People also always add a sense of bias to their decisions and their thoughts. Lakes do not have that ability and so the memories that they hold are not positioned to make one side look good and the other look bad. They hold the memory of events as they happen with no outside decision to skew how it perceives the event.
