Catherine Ryan Hyde’s Pay It Forward is a heartwarming, funny, and bittersweet story about a teenager’s plan to better the world. It all starts with a man and a boy. The man, Reuben St. Clair, a social-studies teacher who believes in positive thinking but who’s also a scarred(有疤的)black veteran(老兵)struggling daily with the way people look at him, assigns the following for extra credit: “Think of an idea for world change, and put it into action.” The boy ,Trevor McKinney，takes the assignment to heart, not only because his mother, Arlene, is battling with alcohol and his father’s gone missing, but also because he likes Reuben and begins to think maybe his mom would too.
Trevor’s idea is simple but unique: Do a good deed for three people and tell each of them that instead of paying him back, they must “pay it forward” by helping three others. The first, a homeless addict, receives Trevor’s earnings and a place to shower before a job interview, but then spends his first salary on drugs and ends up in prison. The second, an elderly woman, receives all the yard- and garden-work she needs for free, but later dies in her sleep. The third is a unit of two people—Reuben and Arlene. The unit is brought together by Trevor so they can help each other out of loneliness and just maybe give him a dad, but they mix like oil and water.
Apparently negative results prove to be just the opposite, however, and, without Trevor knowing about it, his project snowballs into a national phenomenon with no end in sight. Invited to Washington to be honored by President Clinton, Trevor decides to do one more good deed, a selfless act that again succeeds beyond his wildest expectations. The book is a quiet, steady masterpiece, with an exciting ending.
