Summary: "Tattered Tom; or, The Story of a Street Arab" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century, which explores the challenges faced by impoverished youth in urban America. The story centers around a young girl named Tom, who survives as a street sweeper in New York City, managing her meager earnings while navigating her difficult life, characterized by a neglectful and abusive guardian. The narrative delves into themes of resilience, self-reliance, and the quest for a better life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Tom through an encounter with a well-dressed young gentleman named Frederic Pelham, who dismisses her while trying to maintain his polished appearance. Tom boldly stands her ground, showcasing her witty and defiant nature. The opening chapters detail her daily struggles, including her harrowing interactions with her alcoholic guardian, whom she refers to as Granny, and her resourcefulness in earning a living through street sweeping and odd jobs. As her story unfolds, Tom's longing for a stable, caring environment becomes evident, foreshadowing her potential journey toward a more hopeful future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
