Ragged Dick Horatio Alger Jr. English
Dick himself is what carries it: a wisecracking bootblack who jokes about his "mansion" on Fifth Avenue while sleeping in a crate, then quietly starts saving his pennies and learning to read. It's earnest and predictable, sure, but his good humor makes the moralizing go down easy.
Spoon River Anthology Edgar Lee Masters English
You hear the dead of Spoon River speak from their graves, each brief epitaph exposing the grudges, compromises, lusts, and private tenderness their neighbors never saw. The voices contradict one another, so the town slowly becomes a messy human chorus rather than a neat moral lesson.
