After you respond to the questions below (in about 100 words for each question); review the posts made by your peers, and respond(critique) any fourof those posts (in about 50 words).1.DescribeRagged Dick's "social class"at the beginning of the book? Does his "class" change by the end of the book?2. Describe some of the people (urban characters) that Ragged Dick meets (at least four). What "class" are they? Explain what clues, evidence you used to determine their class.3. Use Ragged Dick's description of the city to discuss how the city is divided by class. Consider the different places he goes and what he tells Frank, etc about these parts of the city.4. This novel is one of the most significant works in American literature and history. How often have you heard the phrase "they are a real Horatio Alger story," or "he/she really pulled themselves up by their boot-straps"? Alger's novel popularized these ideas. And the novel, and the idea became a part of the way Americans define themselves as a people. Having read the novel, I encourage you to consider the following: was it luck or hard work that played the most significant role in transforming Ragged Dick into Richard Hunter? Before you respond to this question you will have to find the transitional moment in Ragged Dick's life -- then begin to piece together what it is that changes the trajectory of his life.
