Summary "The Brentons" by Anna Chapin Ray is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the young Scott Brenton, who is torn between pursuing a career in the ministry, as his mother desires, and following his passion for chemistry and scientific study. This conflict reflects the broader themes of ambition, parental expectations, and self-discovery that are central to the narrative. At the start of the novel, we find Scott returning home for the Christmas holidays during his junior year at college, where he faces a crisis of identity. His mother's prayer for his commitment to the ministry heavily weighs on him, especially after hearing commendations about his academic capabilities. The chapter details a tense breakfast conversation between Scott and his mother, showcasing their conflicting desires—her dream of him becoming a minister versus his burgeoning love for science. This initial exploration of their relationship sets the stage for Scott's internal struggles and the impact of familial expectations on individual choices.
