Rough-Hewn by Dorothy Canfield Fisher
"Rough-Hewn" by Dorothy Canfield Fisher is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to Neale Crittenden, a ten-year-old boy living in the town of Union Hill, where the contrast between affluent and struggling families shapes their experiences. Through Neale’s adventures and interactions, the novel explores themes of childhood innocence, class disparity, and the complexities of personal identity. At the start of the book, Neale is depicted enjoyingthe simplicity of his boyhood, particularly relishing in playing shinny with friends. The narrative paints a vivid picture of Neale's world as he confidently claims his new shinny stick, a symbol of his youthful pride. However, as the chapter progresses, underlying tensions emerge within Neale's family, particularly around his quiet relationship with his parents, hinting at deeper explorations of family dynamics and societal expectations as the story unfolds. The opening effectively sets the tone for Neale's coming-of-age journey, marking the beginning of significant life experiences and realizations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
