| 520 | _a"The Cash Boy" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a coming-of-age novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Frank Fowler, a young boy who, after losing his mother, faces the daunting reality of survival in a world that appears hostile towards orphans and the impoverished. With resilience and determination, Frank embarks on a journey to support himself and his younger sister, Grace, while uncovering the truths of his identity and fate. At the start of the narrative, Frank is confronted with the sickness of his adoptive mother, which leads to her eventual death. As he grapples with grief, he learns that he is not related to Grace by blood, which adds layers of complexity to his situation. Despite these hardships and the looming threat of being sent to a poorhouse by the local deacon, Frank's inner strength and unwavering commitment to protect Grace drive him forward. Early on, he finds opportunities for employment in a nearby town and a retail store, and his character begins to shine as he navigates friendships and possible betrayals. The opening sets the stage for themes of perseverance, identity, and social class dynamics, engaging readers who appreciate tales of triumph against adversity.
