| Summary | "Sink or Swim; or, Harry Raymond's Resolve" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Harry Raymond, a determined and resilient boy who faces various challenges in his life as he grows up in a modest household. The narrative explores themes of perseverance, integrity, and the pursuit of success through hard work and moral character. The opening portion introduces Harry as a spirited student at Vernon High School, where he captivates his classmates with an enthusiastic declamation. Despite his humble background, Harry wins admiration from his peers and a prize for his speaking abilities, which incites jealousy in a wealthy classmate, James Turner. As Harry navigates the complexities of school rivalries and the social dynamics of wealth versus character, he is also confronted with the harsh realities of life when tragedy strikes his family. The foundation is laid for Harry's resolve to succeed despite the odds, reflecting the overarching message of the novel about striving to overcome adversity.
