| 520 | _a"Try and Trust; Or, Abner Holden's Bound Boy" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written during the late 19th century. This work focuses on themes of determination and social mobility, following the journey of young Herbert Mason, a boy left without parents who is sent to live with an unsympathetic uncle, Abner Holden. The story explores Herbert’s struggles and his quest to assert his independence in an environment fraught with challenges and selfishness. The opening of the novel introduces the character of Mr. Benjamin Stanton, who learns of the death of his sister and her young son Herbert, who is left without a guardian. Stanton is reluctant to take in his nephew, showcasing characteristics of selfishness and insensitivity. He plans to send Herbert away to a farm or mechanics workshop instead of providing true family support. At the same time, Herbert's introduction reveals him as a bright and capable boy, aware of his value and unwilling to submit to pity or charity. Throughout the narrative, Herbert’s spirit and resilience are tested against the schemes of adults like Mr. Holden, who seeks to take advantage of his vulnerability, setting the stage for a commentary on character, independence, and moral principles.
