Stories from Everybody's Magazine by Various
"Stories from Everybody's Magazine" by Various is a collection of narratives published in the early 20th century. This anthology showcases a variety of stories that delve into themes of youth, imagination, and the complexity of human relationships, with a special focus on the trials of young Dorothea as she navigates her feelings for her neighbor Amiel and grapples with jealousy and friendship. The opening portion introduces readers to Dorothea, an imaginative eleven-year-old
girl who finds herself infatuated with an older boy named Amiel. As she engages in a vivid inner world filled with romantic fantasies, her hopes and dreams clash with the stark reality that Amiel sees her merely as a young tomboy. The narrative unfolds at the beach, where Dorothea's joys and insecurities play out as she eagerly anticipates the arrival of her friend Jennie. This visit introduces a new dynamic into her world, stirring jealousy within Dorothea when she feels overshadowed by Jennie's charms. The story sets the stage for exploring complex feelings of love, competition, and the bittersweet nature of growing up, leaving readers curious about how Dorothea will navigate the emotional landscape that unfolds as the summer progresses.
