"Adventures of a Telegraph Boy; or, 'Number 91'" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story follows the adventures of Paul Parton, a sixteen-year-old telegraph messenger boy navigating life in New York City while dealing with various challenges, including his relationship with the miserly old man he lives with, whom he calls "grandfather." The themes of perseverance, social inequality, and the trials of youth are likely to resonate throughout the narrative. The opening of the novel introduces Paul as he works diligently at the American District Telegraph office, waiting for errands that will take him through the city. The first errand sends him to assist an elderly man named Mr. Meacham, during which Paul displays both resourcefulness and bravery when he aids another younger boy who is being bullied by a larger one. This moment highlights Paul’s character as compassionate and principled. Additionally, it becomes evident that Paul’s home life is complicated by his grandfather's penny-pinching ways and hints at deeper familial issues, which are explored as the story progresses.
