520			_a"The Rich Little Poor Boy" by Eleanor Gates is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a ten-year-old boy named Johnnie Smith, who lives in a tenement and is under the care of harsh foster father Big Tom Barber. As Johnnie navigates the challenges of his difficult home life, he uses his imagination to escape into a world where he dreams of adventure and a brighter future. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Johnnie's grim reality, marked by his oversized, tattered clothes and the oppressive presence of Big Tom, who issues commands and instills fear. Despite these conditions, Johnnie possesses a vibrant imagination, vividly visualizing a life of nobility and freedom. He shares a bond with his step-sister Cis, who provides some comfort as they communicate using a secret system due to Barber’s harsh nature. The opening sections establish Johnnie's character, his struggles, and his escapist tendencies, setting the stage for a tale about resilience, dreams, and the quest for kindness amidst adversity.
