As our country reached the late 1800’s, Americans found themselves face to face with era known as the ‘Gilded Age’. Companies were created and grew rapidly during this time period. Some of the most famous entrepreneurs were John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, who seemed to be the perfect models for the ‘rags to riches’ story. Many people debate which entrepreneur was a better role-model. Due to his low prices, the high demand for his products, and the way he sought to eliminate any possible competition, John D. Rockefeller is clearly the better role-model for today’s entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs controlled the Gilded Age creating a growing economy with booming businesses and yet this has not changed over the years. John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie can be compared to those with the names Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Multibillionaires, who know what the consumers desire, is what these men are best at. They knew and now know business well enough to be able to control our country’s’ economy. However, these successful business men do not do it together.

In many instances, the accomplishments of our business pioneers required the same dedication and determination that was required to march or boycott unfair treatment. What fueled these business titans? They all had one thing in common. They had big dreams.
“Even as a child, I enjoyed comeback stories where people overcame adversity and against all odds achieved what they sought. I was always rooting for the underdog. The greater the challenge, the more I liked the story. However, I could not fathom that one-day, I would be the fallen one trying to claw my way back.” Jorge Newberry began enterprising at the age of seven, dropped out of high school at sixteen becoming an enterprising entrepreneur as he rose to the top building a vast financial empire.
In the fourth paragraph, there are a series of rhetorical questions that represent the absurdity of the business culture. “What, I would ask my father, is better to argue with? How the success was achieved, what went into it, who suffered because of it?” These rhetorical questions leave the reader to ponder the true meaning of this paragraph.

During this harsh time, people managed their lives under the notion: every man for themselves.
A young, 27-year-old, co-founder of the frozen smoothie kit company PACK’D, Luke Johnstone, was named young entrepreneur of the year in 2016 (“From Freezing Shed to Frozen Drinks Rise of the Smoothie Operator” par. 1). Like the Woodstock entrepreneurs, Johnstone quit his job to start his business, but he was not lucky enough for his dream to happen in just a short nine months like the other four men, his took two years of living in a shed in the back of his parents garden (“From Freezing Shed to Frozen Drinks Rise of the Smoothie Operator” par. 4). Another young entrepreneur, like the Woodstock entrepreneurs, is high school sophomore, Natalie Abbott. Abbott turned her 4-H project into her business, The West Hill Honey Company, where she sells honey and lip balm(“Chi-Hi Student Wins State Business Award” par. 1).

The Burning Monk 1963 Malcolm Browne Context “I was to see that sight again, but once was enough. Flames were coming from a human being; his body was slowly withering and shriveling up, his head blackening and charring. In the air was the smell of burning human flesh; human beings burn surprisingly quickly. Behind me I could hear the sobbing of the Vietnamese who were now gathering. I was too shocked to cry, too confused to take notes or ask questions, too bewildered to even think…
