(This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive.) "Boy Life" by William Dean Howells is a collection of stories and readings selected from the author's works and arranged for supplementary reading in elementary schools, written in the early 20th century. This compilation features the adventures and experiences of boys in a quaint American town, reflecting the joys and challenges of boyhood. Through the lens of characters like Pony Baker and Jim Leonard, the book captures the essence of childhood, encompassing themes of friendship, mischief, and self-discovery. The opening of "Boy Life" introduces readers to the character of Pony Baker, who contemplates running away to join the circus after an incident with his mother. This moment encapsulates the complexities of childhood emotions—joy, mischief, and the longing for freedom—amidst the backdrop of a close-knit family dynamic. Pony's anticipation builds as the circus approaches, heightening his internal conflict as he wrestles with loyalty to his family while yearning for adventure. Through Pony's interactions with his friends and the world around him, the beginning sets a nostalgic tone that invites readers to reflect on their own childhood memories and experiences.
