| Summary |
"Through the School: The Experiences of a Mill Boy in Securing an Education" by Al Priddy is a real autobiography written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the journey of Al Priddy, a mill worker who is determined to secure an education despite his humble beginnings and financial struggles. The story explores themes of ambition, perseverance, and the transformative power of education as Al navigates the challenges of college life. At the start of the book, Al Priddy embarks on a three-day journey from his life in the mills to Evangelical University, filled with a mix of excitement and fear as he leaves behind an oppressive past. His narration captures the wonder of new experiences, from traveling through different states to the thrill of stepping onto foreign soil in Canada. Arriving at the university, Al is greeted by the realities of student life, meeting his roommate, Jim Thropper, and facing uncertainties about his education and future. The opening sets a tone of hope, hard-earned determination, and a glimpse of the lively yet challenging university environment that will shape Al's journey.
