| Summary | "Risen from the Ranks; Or, Harry Walton's Success" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a coming-of-age novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative follows the life of Harry Walton, a young boy from a poor farming family in New Hampshire, as he embarks on a journey to secure his future and achieve success. The book highlights themes of ambition, hard work, and determination, presenting Harry's admirable character as he navigates obstacles in pursuit of a better life. At the start of the story, Harry bids farewell to Professor Henderson, his previous employer, as he prepares to begin an apprenticeship at the Centreville Gazette to learn the printing business. Driven by his ambition to rise from poverty, Harry shares his plans with the Professor and reflects on his past hardships, including his family’s financial struggles. The opening chapters set the stage for Harry's new journey in the printing office, where he encounters both friends and rivals, establishes his ambition for self-improvement, and begins to formulate a goal of becoming an influential editor, inspired by historical figures like Benjamin Franklin. Through his interactions and experiences, the foundation is laid for Harry's growth, emphasizing the importance of perseverance in achieving one’s dreams.
