"The Harbor" by Ernest Poole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy's tumultuous relationship with the harbor of Brooklyn, embodying his innocent perception of adventure and danger, as well as his struggles with a dispassionate father and a devoted mother. Through the eyes of the protagonist, who reflects on his childhood experiences and dreams of exploration, the narrative delves into themes of innocence, adventure, and the dichotomy between safety and the allure of the unknown. At the start of "The Harbor," we are introduced to a seven-year-old boy who grapples with feelings of discomfort and alienation while sitting in church, waiting through a sermon by Henry Ward Beecher. As he reflects on his life, he recalls the strange and foreboding harbor visible from his home — a world filled with mysteries that spark both fear and fascination. The boy's emotions are intertwined with his family dynamics; he feels a lack of connection with his stern father, yet takes comfort in the nurturing presence of his mother. His thoughts wander to rebellious ideals, culminating in a resolve to escape his home and explore the harbor, setting the stage for his journey from childhood innocence to a deeper engagement with the world around him.
