Summary "A Tale of the Tow-Path" by Homer Greene is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a fourteen-year-old boy named Joe Gaston, who is struggling with feelings of rebellion and frustration towards his strict father. After a severe punishment for disobeying his father's commands and sneaking off to go fishing, Joe makes a rash decision to run away from home, setting off an adventure filled with challenges and self-discovery. The opening portion of the book introduces Joe as he grumbles about the hard labor of hoeing corn and dreams of the summer activities he wishes he could partake in instead. After sneaking away for a fishing trip, he is caught by his father, leading to a punishment that leaves him feeling hurt and resentful. This encounter plants the seed for Joe's decision to flee from home, aiming to reclaim his freedom. The narrative quickly unfolds into a poignant portrayal of his internal conflict as he grapples with the consequences of his disobedience and the love for his family, hinting at the trials he will face on his journey.
