"Still Jim" by Honoré Willsie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young boy named Jim Manning as he navigates the challenges of growing up in a changing America, marked by his father's tragic death in a quarry accident and the subsequent struggles of his family. Jim is determined to make something of himself and uphold the family legacy, even as he confronts themes of race, immigration, and the American identity. The opening of "Still Jim" introduces readers to the young protagonist, Jim Mannings, who is deeply affected by the manual labor of his father, Big Jim, at a local quarry. In the wake of his father's fatal accident, Jim grapples with grief and a sense of responsibility towards his mother. The narrative provides a snapshot of Jim's life, as he reflects on the hardships faced by his family amidst the changing socio-economic landscape of their New England town. The complicated relationships with immigrant workers, especially an Italian named Tomasso, highlight the broader themes of cultural tension. Jim's resolve to succeed and garner a better future, possibly in engineering, is established, setting the stage for his journey through adolescence into adulthood.
