(4) 4-6 In late-nineteenth-century New York, destitute Irish immigrant Kevin O'Donnell is hired as a messenger boy for the Chronicle. The owner of the newspaper helps develop Kevin's interest in journalism and writing, but a false allegation of stealing causes Kevin to quit. The conclusion is hopeful, though not fully convincing. Despite some extraneous scenes, the story moves at a quick pace.
