Produktbeschreibung
"That Scholarship Boy" by Emma Leslie is a novel likely written in the late 19th century that explores the themes of social class, bullying, and the challenges faced by a scholarship student in an exclusive academic setting. The story centers around a boy who receives a scholarship to a prestigious school, where he must navigate the tensions between his lower-class background and the wealthier students. The narrative highlights the struggles of fitting in, as the protagonist experiences exclusion and bullying from his peers, particularly as he is targeted for his modest origins. At the start of the novel, the arrival of the scholarship boy sparks a conversation among students about his background. One student, influenced by peer pressure, takes part in ostracizing the newcomer, which sets the tone for the social divides that will be explored in the story. The opening introduces themes of moral conflict, with some characters sympathizing with the scholarship boy, while others enforce social hierarchies. As the protagonist strives to maintain his dignity and succeed academically, the story delves into issues of prejudice, ambition, and the impact of social expectations on personal identity and relationships.
