520			_a"Breaking Away; or, The Fortunes of a Student" by Oliver Optic is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Ernest Thornton, a fourteen-year-old student who grapples with the challenges of school discipline, social dynamics, and a longing for family connections. Through his experiences, readers are introduced to themes of rebellion against authority, the struggles of the underdog, and the quest for personal integrity. At the start of the narrative, Ernest is summoned by the strict principal, Mr. Parasyte, accused of fighting with a popular student, William Poodles. As the events unfold, it becomes clear that the school environment is rife with favoritism and injustice, with Poodles enjoying the privilege of being the principal's pet. The opening portion sets the stage for Ernest’s inner conflict as he faces expulsion for defending himself, leading to a rebellion among his peers who stand against the tyranny of their schoolmaster. As tensions rise, it becomes evident that Ernest values truth and loyalty, and the groundwork is laid for a confrontation between student solidarity and oppressive authority.
