Summary "Two Ways of Becoming a Hunter" by Harry Castlemon is a fictional story likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows two young boys, Leon Parker and his cousin Frank Fuller, as they skip school to explore the woods and partake in adventures related to hunting and trapping. The tale presents themes of youthful rebellion, ambitions of living a life connected to nature, and the trials of growing up. At the start of the story, Leon expresses his disdain for school and proposes that he and Frank play truant to spend a day in the woods hunting. Their plan involves setting snares and dreaming of a life of independence as hunters. However, tension arises when Leon discovers that a local market-hunter, Oscar Preston, has destroyed his snares, igniting his anger. As the plot unfolds, the characters navigate their secretive escapades while grappling with their identities and desires, including Leon’s aspirations to one day become a successful hunter. The opening sets the stage for significant themes of competition, ambition, and the consequences of one's actions, particularly as they relate to the complex relationship between Leon and the market shooter.
