Benjamin Franklin, The Way to Wealth — excerpt

Public domain. Hosted on Life Academy. MLA: Franklin, Benjamin. The Way to Wealth. Life Academy Source Library.

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

For age and want, save while you may; no morning sun lasts a whole day… If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some; for, he that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.

Student job: this is rhetoric of habit, not a controlled experiment. Ask: who is speaking (Poor Richard as a persona), what behavior is being sold, and what a critic might say. Cite (Franklin).
