"Rufus and Rose; Or, The Fortunes of Rough and Ready" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work follows the adventures of Rufus, a resourceful and self-reliant boy who transitions from a newsboy in New York City to a young man working in Wall Street. The story highlights themes of perseverance, family loyalty, and the potential for personal growth amidst adversity, as Rufus also strives to protect his younger sister, Rose, from their neglectful stepfather. The opening of the book introduces Rufus on the brink of a new chapter in his life. After successfully recovering his sister Rose from their unfit stepfather, Rufus is preparing to start a job in Wall Street. The narrative establishes Rufus's character as both ambitious and protective, showcasing his determination to create a better life for himself and his sister. Other key characters, such as Miss Manning, who supports Rufus and Rose, and the looming presence of their abusive stepfather, shape their struggle, creating a contemplative reflection on the hardships faced by street children during that era. The opening sets the tone for a story grounded in resilience as Rufus embarks on his journey toward respectability and security. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
