Summary: "Andy Gordon; Or, The Fortunes of A Young Janitor" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young janitor named Andy Gordon as he navigates the challenges of social class, self-respect, and personal integrity in a school environment that does not favor him due to his lower socioeconomic status. The book highlights themes of resilience and the fight against bullying, particularly when confronted by more privileged classmates. The opening of the book introduces us to the Hamilton Academy and its strict principal, Dr. Euclid. We meet Andy, a determined sixteen-year-old who works as the academy's janitor in order to support himself and his widowed mother. As he interacts with a wealthy and arrogant classmate, Herbert Ross, the two boys engage in a confrontation, showcasing the stark contrast between their social standings and personalities. Andy stands up to Herbert's bullying, establishing his resolve to maintain his dignity despite the disdain from his affluent peers. The chapter sets the stage for the ensuing drama of class conflict and personal growth as Andy faces challenges both at school and in his home life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
