| Summary | "The Hoosier School-boy" by Edward Eggleston is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around young Jack Dudley, a new student in the village school of Greenbank, who faces the trials of fitting in with his peers while navigating the complexities of childhood friendships, bullying, and the educational system of the time. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Jack as he innocently observes a game played by the larger boys on the playground, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension about fitting in. His first encounter with the schoolmaster, Mr. Ball, is tense, showcasing the strict authority under which the children must operate. Jack's struggle with peer acceptance is further complicated by bullies like Will Riley and King Pewee Rose, who target him and others, leading to both verbal jabs and physical confrontations. As loyalty and friendship begin to develop around Jack, particularly with classmates like Bob Holliday and Susan Lanham, the story sets the stage for a coming-of-age narrative filled with humor, emotion, and relatable struggles of youth.
