Summary: "Brave and Bold; Or, The Fortunes of Robert Rushton" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a school setting where we are introduced to Robert Rushton, a young factory worker, and his rival, Halbert Davis, the arrogant son of a wealthy factory superintendent. The narrative addresses themes of social class disparity, perseverance, and moral integrity as Robert navigates tensions arising from class differences and his attempts to rise above his impoverished circumstances. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Millville Academy and its students under the tutelage of Professor Granville, who is praised by his students at the conclusion of their writing course. Amidst this, we witness a rivalry sparked between Robert Rushton and Halbert Davis. While Halbert is accustomed to privilege and self-importance, he is jealous of Robert, whose character, diligence, and kindness garner admiration, particularly from Hester Paine, a local belle. The conflict between the boys intensifies as Halbert feels insulted by Robert’s interaction with Hester, leading to a confrontation that not only tests their character but also sets the stage for further challenges, including Robert's struggle to maintain his job at the factory amidst Halbert’s social influence.
