"Bread" by Charles G. Norris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the Sturgis family, particularly the eldest daughter Jeannette, as they navigate the challenges of poverty and aspirations in New York City. The family's struggles revolve around their financial hardships and the impact these challenges have on their daily lives and future prospects. The opening of the book introduces Jeannette Sturgis, who is frustrated by her family's dire financial situation and her mother's dependence on the meager income from music lessons. When Jeannette realizes they can't even afford a loaf of bread, tensions arise, leading her to take charge of their financial future by considering dropping out of school and getting a job. As she embarks on this new path, her strong resolve contrasts sharply with her mother's desires for her daughters to lead more genteel lives. The reader sees the dynamics in their family and the social pressures that shape their identities, setting the stage for Jeannette's journey toward independence amidst the looming challenges she faces as a working girl.
