"Bernard Brooks' Adventures: The Experience of a Plucky Boy" by Jr. Horatio Alger is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story follows the life of a young boy named Bernard Brooks, who navigates challenges stemming from his relationships with both his guardian, Cornelius McCracken, and his schoolmaster, Ezekiel Snowdon. The narrative centers on themes of bravery, independence, and the quest for personal dignity as Bernard confronts various adversities. The opening of the book introduces readers to Bernard, a clever and strong-willed fifteen-year-old, who is in conflict with his schoolmaster, Mr. Snowdon. Bernard's quick wit and sarcastic remarks showcase his intelligence, which puts him at odds with Snowdon, who is portrayed as an insecure and overbearing figure. The story unfolds as Bernard's disdain for unjust authority compels him to rebel, ultimately leading him to run away from school after an altercation with Snowdon. This establishes the foundation for Bernard's adventures, which will likely explore his journey toward self-sufficiency and the challenges he will face along the way.
