Antennae

"Antennae" by Hulbert Footner, is a tale of two young men, Wilfred Pell and Joe Kaplan, growing up in New York City during the early 1900s. The story looks at tough topics like finding yourself, living up to other people's ideas, and what it's really like to be young. We follow Wilfred as he sneaks around at night, feeling lonely and unsure as he tries to figure out life in the big city. Joe, on the other hand, is a tough kid from the streets who knows how to get by. Their different stories show us what it was like for young people trying to find their place in a city full of problems and chances.
