| Summary | "Dorian" by Nephi Anderson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the life of a boy named Dorian Trent, exploring themes of growth, responsibility, and the journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of rural life. The story begins with Dorian's quest to buy shoes for Sunday church, illustrating his youthful innocence and struggles as he navigates familial expectations and personal desires. The opening of the book introduces Dorian as he heads to town, eagerly anticipating the purchase of shoes while secretly longing for books he cannot afford. Along the way, he encounters a river where he briefly gets lost in thought before proceeding to the town. Upon arrival, he becomes transfixed by a display of old books, revealing his passion for reading and the conflict between his need for shoes and his desire for literature. This theme is further highlighted by his impulsive decision to spend his limited funds on books instead of shoes. The chapter culminates in a life-altering event when Dorian heroically saves a girl named Carlia from drowning, an act of courage that signifies his transition from boyhood to manhood. Through Dorian's innocent yet complex character, the stage is set for further exploration of his emotional development and relationships throughout the novel.
