| Summary | "Dan, the Newsboy" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young newsboy named Dan Mordaunt, who faces the challenges of poverty after his father's death forced him and his mother into a life of hardship. The narrative explores themes of resilience, social justice, and the contrasting lives of the wealthy and the poor. At the start of the book, we meet Dan as he sells newspapers and navigates the difficulties of supporting his sick mother while dealing with the harsh realities of urban life. Dan’s character is portrayed as hardworking and caring, showing an admirable devotion to his mother. The opening chapters introduce the struggle against an unkind employer, Mr. Gripp, who withholds payment for Dan's mother's work, and highlight Dan's interactions with various characters, demonstrating his resourcefulness and determination to improve their situation. As the narrative develops, Dan encounters both kindness and cruelty, which set the stage for his personal growth and adventures ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
