| Summary | "Luck and Pluck; or, John Oakley's Inheritance" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. It centers around John Oakley, a young boy who grapples with the challenges posed by his stepmother and stepbrother after his father's death. The themes of perseverance, fairness, and the struggle for rightful inheritance play key roles in the story as John seeks to navigate his new reality where he finds himself unjustly treated. The opening of the narrative introduces a conflict between John Oakley and Ben Brayton, his stepbrother, over a horse that has been a gift from John's late father. John's sense of injustice becomes apparent as he struggles against Ben's assertion of ownership, bolstered by their mother’s favoritism towards Ben. Following a confrontation where John demonstrates both physical and moral courage, the drama unfolds, hinting at deeper familial tensions. The reader sees John's determination to stand up for his rights even as he navigates his precarious position within a new family dynamic, setting the stage for an exploration of justice, integrity, and ambition throughout the rest of the story.
