Summary "Frank Merriwell's Fun; Or, Fearless and True" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the adventures of Frank Merriwell, a quintessentially American young man characterized by his integrity and determination to do right, as he navigates the challenges of college life and relationships, particularly with peers who harbor different values. The story addresses themes of friendship, loyalty, and the struggle against prejudgment, particularly as it regards those marginalized in society. The opening portion introduces a scenario at Yale University where Frank Merriwell is observed by a group of fellow students who ridicule him while he passes by with his friends. One student, Gene Skelding, harbors animosity towards Merriwell and is intent on undermining him. The narrative hints at Jim Hooker, a socially ostracized student with a troubled familial background, suggesting that he may be involved in theft due to his father’s criminal past. Frank takes immediate interest in Hooker, challenging his peers for their cruelty and vowing to befriend the outcast. This sets up the central conflict of the narrative, as Frank strives to support Hooker against the prejudices of their society while contending with the mystery surrounding the outcast's character. The opening effectively establishes the morality and social dynamics that will play a central role in the characters' development throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
