SUMMARY:What I Did Last Summer by A.R. Gurney
DESCRIPTION:
 The setting is a well-to-do vacation colony on 
 the shores of Lake Erie, the time 1945, during 
 the final stages of World War II. Charlie, 
 an incipiently rebellious fourteen-year-old, 
 is summering with his mother and sister (his 
 father is fighting in the Pacific) before going 
 off to an expensive boarding school in the 
 fall. Although he intended to spend the summer 
 loafing and socializing with his friends, 
 the need for spending money forces him to take 
 a job as handyman for an iconoclastic, bohemian 
 art teacher, Anna Trumbull, a former member 
 of the "upper crust" who has lost both her 
 fortune and her regard for the ideals of her 
 upbringing. Sensing a kindred spirit in Charlie, 
 she tries to stretch his mind by teaching 
 him painting and sculpture-and exposing him 
 to "radical" ideas about life and love which, 
 in time, persuade Charlie to reject the notion 
 of going back to school. The result is 
 a family crisis and, more specifically, a showdown 
 between Anna and Charlie's conservative 
 mother, a clash of philosophies which raises 
 as many questions as it answers and, in the 
 end, stimulates the self-awareness which will 
 shape the man Charlie is destined to become.\n
