"Poor White" by Sherwood Anderson tells the story of a struggling Midwestern family, the Kings, who represent the plight of the lower class during the early 20th century. The protagonist, a young man named George Willard, confronts the challenges of poverty, societal expectations, and personal ambition in the declining industrial town of Winesburg, Ohio. Through a series of interconnected vignettes, Anderson explores themes of isolation, resilience, and the search for identity amid economic hardship. The narrative captures the essence of American life during this period, delving into the complexities of human relationships and the quest for meaning in a harsh reality.
