| Summary | "Jim Spurling, Fisherman" by Albert W. Tolman is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the journey of Jim Spurling and his friends as they embark on a summer of adventure while fishing and working on Tarpaulin Island off the Maine coast. Through their experiences, themes of hard work, camaraderie, and personal growth are explored, particularly through the contrasting characters of Jim and Percy Whittington, the wealthy but inexperienced son of a millionaire. The opening of the story introduces a group of high school seniors at Graffam Academy discussing their summer plans. Jim Spurling comes up with the idea of working on the island owned by his Uncle Tom, who is unable to fish due to an ailment. Jim's friends, Roger Lane and Winthrop Stevens, express their interest in joining him, and they decide to take Percy Whittington, despite his lack of experience and reluctance to embrace the hard work ahead. As they prepare for their journey, their diverse backgrounds and contrasting attitudes promise an engaging blend of challenge and humor as they adapt to their new environment and responsibilities. The boys' decision sets the stage for their collective journey filled with both physical labor and personal transformations. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
