Summary "Out for Business, or Robert Frost's Strange Career" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a work of juvenile fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a young boy named Robert Frost, who must navigate a series of challenges after his mother remarries a man he finds objectionable. The story details Robert's journey of self-discovery and ambition as he sets out into the world to find his place and seek success against the odds. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Robert Frost, a sixteen-year-old boy who is grappling with the recent loss of his father and the emotional turmoil of his mother's sudden marriage to James Talbot, a man whom Robert immediately disdains. The opening scenes present Robert's conflicted feelings as well as his initial interactions with his new step-father, which are tense and filled with resentment. After a particularly heated exchange, Robert decides to leave home in search of a better life, setting off on a journey that promises growth, hardship, and experiences that will shape his character. This initial chapter establishes not only the family conflict but also the themes of perseverance and moral integrity that are central to Alger's storytelling.
