9. In his essay “Wealth,” published in the North American Review in 1889, industrialist Andrew Carnegie argued that individual capitalists were bound by duty to play a broader cultural and social role and thus improve the world. (The essay later became famous under the title “The Gospel of Wealth.”) But not everyone agreed with Carnegie’s perspective. This 1894 “prayer” by “A Workman” (an anonymous contributor to the National Labor Tribune) was a sarcastic critique of Carnegie’s paternalism and philanthropy.
Remember to highlight what is in green. Look at vocabulary to understand sarcastic, paternalism and philanthropy.

10. Oh, Almighty Andrew Philanthropist Library Carnegie, who art in America when not in Europe spending the money of your slaves and serfs, thou art a good father to the people of Pittsburgh, Homestead and Beaver Falls. We bow before thee in humble obedience of slavery…. We have no desire but to serve thee. If you [say] black was white we believe you, and are willing, with the assistance of… the Pinkerton’s agency, to knock the stuffin[g] out of anyone who thinks different, or to shoot down and imprison serfs who dare say you have been unjust in reducing the wages of your slaves, who call themselves citizens of the land of the free and the home of the brave….
1. Whose money does the working man believe Carnegie is spending and where?
2. What are 3 reasons the working man is being sarcastic?
Carnegie is spending the money of his workers while he is away and in Europe.
1- we love being slaves and obey everything your say
2- we believe what you say and we fight against people that do not believe you
3- we will tell people we love that you are lowering our wages

11. Read with a partner Find three ways the working man is being sarcastic
Oh, lord and master, we love thee because you and other great masters of slaves favor combines and trusts to enslave and make paupers of us all. We love thee though our children are clothed in rags. We love thee though our wives…are so scantily dressed and look so shabby. But, oh master, [you have] given us one great enjoyment which man has never dreamed of before—a free church organ, so that we can take our shabby families to church to hear your great organ pour forth its melodious strains….

Oh, master, we thank thee for all the free gifts you have given the public at the expense of your slaves…. Oh, master, we need no protection, we need no liberty so long as we are under thy care. So we command ourselves to thy mercy and forevermore sing thy praise.
Amen!
Pretty much each sentence is sarcastic and it is the three they use in their paper

16. Citations How to write citations?
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263).
Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).
Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).
