A penny saved can be a penny earned, just as a penny spent can begin to improve the world. Andrew Carnegie, a man known for his wealth, certainly knew the value of a dollar. His successful business ventures in the railroad industry, steel industry, and communications earned him a multimillion-dollar fortune. Quite the opposite of being greedy, Carnegie made sure he had what he needed to live a comfortable life and devoted what was left of his fortune to helping the general public and improving their communities. He emphasized the idea that generosity is superior to arrogance. Carnegie believes that the fact that the rich are generous to their community, rather than living an ostentatious lifestyle, proves that they are truly rich in wealth and heart. He also emphasized that money is most powerful in the hands of the winner, and in the hands of anyone else. In his retirement, Carnegie not only spent a lot of time enriching his life by giving back; but he also wrote often about business, money, and his stance on the importance of world peace. His essay “Wealth” presents what he sees as three common ways in which the wealthy typically distribute their money throughout their lives and after death. Throughout his essay “Wealth,” Andrew Carnegie appeals to logos in defining “rich” as having great wealth, not only in materialistic terms, but also by leading an active philanthropic life. He solidifies this definition in his appeals to ethos and pathos by emphasizing the rewards of philanthropy for the mind and body. Carnegie opens his essay by stating that there are three main ways most wealthy people use or distribute their money. First, some pass their money on to the next generation. The children...... middle of paper...... the men of Good Will'” (186). This latter statement underscores his appeal to pathos in assuming that one of the goals of all people is to strive toward world peace. By saying this, readers can agree that generosity towards all is a step towards peace. Carnegie's essay contains explanations of three common methods by which wealth is distributed and his own opinions on the effects of each. After reading the entire essay, readers can see its general appeals to logos; Having wealth doesn't make anyone rich, but using that wealth for the greater good does. He does not impose his opinions on the reader, but he effectively convinces the meaning of his beliefs. Andrew Carnegie's simple explanations, intertwined with small but powerful appeals to ethos and pathos, are incorporated into his overall appeal to logos in his definition of what it means for someone to be truly rich..
