Being a Boy Charles Dudley Warner 9781470092412 Books Reviews
Periodically, I challenge myself to read a book written decades ago. I do this for several reasons. One, to teach myself to appreciate a different era. Two, to see if I will like a 'new' old author. Three, to compare methods of writing with modern-day authors.
And then there are those funny words. Words that I have never heard before that force me use a dictionary. Such as 'declension' i.e. deterioration. Or 'Thanatopsis', a view or contemplation of death. And 'switchel' which is a drink made of water, vinegar and flavored with ginger.
Charles Dudley Warner was a friend of Mark Twain. His manner of writing was conversational. Like you were both in the same room and he wanted to tell you something. He wants to share with the reader what life was like in New England while BEING A BOY.
It starts out with a goofy subject the importance of oxen and trying to teach cows Latin. Oh, and the importance of cow society. Yes, cow society.
He talks about the difficulty of doing chores. Is it ever easy? He reflects that it comes down to wishing yourself to be a dog. Because dogs like to run and not do chores. You soon realize that everything this guy is telling you is nonsensical, outlandish and bizarre.
Girls, fishing, eating pumpkin pie, planning a barn and the oh-so-importance of making maple syrup. Soil, religion and frogs. Indians, candle wax and monks. *Sigh.* I am glad to be a girl.
Liked the plot, really got tired of the continual quotes.
Absolutely enchanting...even though I am a girl! Always in love with an author who can transport me into his story. Gives insight and celebrates BEING A BOY !!!
