Summary "Home Scenes and Home Influence; a series of tales and sketches" by T. S. Arthur is a collection of moral tales and sketches written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the themes of domestic life, parental influence, and the social responsibilities associated with home and family life. It provides a window into various everyday scenarios that illustrate the significant impact of family dynamics and home settings on individual behavior and social morality. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the contrasting lives of two newlywed couples, George and Anna Brainard and Tyler and his wife, as they navigate the complexities of early married life. Through conversations and situations that unfold, Arthur critiques the financial decisions and aspirations of both couples, particularly highlighting Brainard's extravagant nature that leads him and his wife into turmoil. This part sets the stage for broader lessons about financial prudence, the pitfalls of societal expectations, and the importance of happiness that stems from wise choices, laying the groundwork for the moral insights and character sketches that follow throughout the collection.
