Three People

"Three People" by Pansy is a story set in 19th century America, showing how social class can greatly affect people's lives. This story looks into the different worlds of three boys who share the same birthday but come from very different backgrounds. Pliny Hastings is born into a wealthy family, while Bennie Phillips grows up in a more average home. Tode Mall, on the other hand, faces poverty and hardship from the start. The book looks at how wealth and poverty can shape a person's character and choices, highlighting the stark contrasts in how these boys live and grow. From Pliny's luxurious birthday party to Tode's harsh existence in a poor neighborhood, the beginning of the story sets the scene for a strong examination of how a person's upbringing can influence their path in life.
