| Summary | "Pitcher Pollock" by Christy Mathewson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Tom Pollock, a young boy who is on the hunt for a job in Amesville to support himself while attending high school. As Tom navigates his new life in the city, he encounters challenges and opportunities that shape his character and ambition. At the start of the novel, Tom Pollock is introduced as a determined and resourceful teenager seeking employment to fund his schooling and living expenses. He approaches Mr. Cummings at a hardware store, expressing his willingness to work even under arduous conditions. Despite initial reluctance, Mr. Cummings agrees to hire him, and Tom's journey into the bustling life of the city begins. Additionally, Tom reflects on his family background and the responsibilities that await him, painting a vivid picture of his motivations and goals, which include not only supporting himself but also aspiring for a better future. As the opening unfolds, readers are given an insight into Tom's interactions and the dynamics of his new environment, setting the stage for the adventures and challenges that lie ahead.
