520			_a"Seeking His Fortune, and Other Dialogues" by Horatio Alger, Jr. and O. Augusta Cheney is a collection of dialogues written in the late 19th century. The work primarily targets a juvenile audience and is likely intended for performance, as numerous dialogues were previously contributed to a juvenile magazine and used in exhibitions. The first piece, "Seeking His Fortune," follows Jonathan Peters, a young farmer who dreams of leaving his small hometown for the bustling city in pursuit of wealth and success. At the start of the collection, Jonathan Peters expresses his determination to leave Beanville, much to the concern of his parents. He feels constrained by his rural life and believes he is destined for greater things in the city. As he prepares for his journey, he discusses his plans with his family, exchanges banter with his father, and reassures his worried mother about potential dangers. Jonathan ultimately sets off with dreams of making his fortune, revealing a classic theme of aspiration and the quest for personal advancement that underpins many of Alger's works.
