Mitch Miller by Edgar Lee Masters
"Mitch Miller" by Edgar Lee Masters is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the childhood experiences of the main character, Skeeter, and his friendship with Mitch Miller, a boy described as exceptional and fun-loving. Through their adventures in the small town of Petersburg, the narrative explores themes of friendship, innocence, and the excitement of youth, filled with local color and community dynamics. The opening portionof the novel introduces readers to Skeeter's waking moments and gradual realization of his surroundings, leading to the discovery of Mitch Miller. Skeeter is portrayed in a semi-dreamlike state, absorbing the sights and sounds of his childhood home as he recalls moving to Petersburg. A significant event occurs when Skeeter encounters Mitch, who offers thrilling plans for adventures, including a fight between two local men and the pursuit of treasure reminiscent of literary tales such as "Tom Sawyer."
