Summary: "What Happened to Tad" by Mary E. Ropes is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Tadpole (Teddie Poole) who, feeling abandoned and mistreated by his harsh stepmother, decides to take drastic measures to escape his troubled home life. As he plots to care for his younger siblings while planning revenge against his stepmother, he unwittingly gets entangled in a series of misadventures that lead him far from home. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Tad's struggles at home, highlighting his deep sorrow and sense of injustice towards his stepmother's treatment of him and his siblings. After enduring yet another confrontation with his father over the matter, Tad resolves to leave home to escape his intolerable situation. He initially considers the possibility of revenge against his stepmother but instead takes the baby from her as a form of retaliation. However, this seemingly simple act spirals into a much larger predicament when the baby is lost, forcing Tad into a desperate escape from the harsh realities of his life. Filled with themes of childhood hardship and resilience, the beginning suggests a journey of self-discovery riddled with challenges and moral dilemmas that Tad must face.
