"The White Feather" by P. G. Wodehouse is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of a character named Sheen, a student at Wrykyn School, navigating the challenges of adolescence, particularly in the realm of sports and social dynamics. As he grapples with issues of self-respect, cowardice, and peer relationships, the plot delves into themes of bravery, loyalty, and the social intricacies of school life. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the dismal sporting performance of Wrykyn School, setting a melancholic tone for the characters who are reminiscing about previous successes and lamenting the current slackness. Sheen is depicted as an introspective and somewhat passive individual struggling to find his place among the more brash and athletic students. The opening chapters showcase his interactions with classmates who question their school's decline, revealing Sheen's internal conflict as he faces peer pressure and the expectation to assert himself, particularly when a fight breaks out between the school boys and a rival group from town. This early exposition sets the stage for Sheen's development as he seeks not only social acceptance but personal courage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
