| Summary | "Frank Merriwell's First Job; Or, At the Foot of the Ladder" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Frank Merriwell, a promising young man who has recently faced a life-altering setback as he must abandon his college career at Yale due to the loss of his fortune, which was mismanaged by his guardian. As he navigates his new reality, the book explores themes of resilience, ambition, and the transition from a care-free youth to the responsibilities of adulthood. At the start of the story, Frank is depicted as an athletic and determined individual engaged in a lively boxing match with friends, showcasing his charm and camaraderie. However, his world is turned upside down when he learns that his guardian has lost his inheritance through reckless speculation. With his future at stake, Frank packs his belongings and prepares to return home, where he contemplates a new path in life—one where he must earn his living through hard work. This opening portion effectively sets the stage for his character development, as Frank chooses to face adversity head-on, indicating his determination to rise above his challenges.
