| Summary | "The Adventures of a Bear, and a Great Bear Too" by Alfred Elwes is a fictional narrative likely written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around a bear named Bruin, who struggles with his bad temper and the adventures that ensue as he navigates through life and encounters with various other animals, ultimately leading to moral lessons about temperament and behavior. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Bruin's family dynamics and his notorious reputation for his ill temper. It details his upbringing in a cavern with his bear family, where they indulge in their own unruly antics and neglect Bruin's negative qualities. As Bruin's temper drives him away from his home, the narrative hints at future escapades as he sets forth to explore the world, illustrating his struggles and misadventures that will unfold throughout his journey. The beginning effectively establishes Bruin's character flaws, setting the stage for a tale rich with humor and insights into behavior. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
