Benjamin Franklin's "The Way To Wealth" signifies the change from the "puritan plain" writing style to the "protestant work ethic" style. In fact, it wasn't just the writing style that changed, it was American values, traditions, nationalism, and culture that changed during this time as well. The popularity of The Way To Wealth showed that more and more Americans were concerned with higher levels of intellectual knowledge, than they did for futile religious dogma and rhetoric. Furthermore, Americans weren't so in love with being a colony of the British Empire, so this area in time also represented a gradual change in the American value of British nationalism, to American nationalism. Therefore, besides the fact that Americans were switching from the puritan faith to the protestant doctrine, they were also beginning to change their values in regards to education and British nationalism. The reason being, they no longer wanted education for the rich, but they wanted it for everyone and they weren't fond of being taxed like crazy by Great Britain.

Although I cannot write the whole fable for you, I can provide you with the topics to develop into one. Our theme is the first one, "Do not give your enemies the means of destroying you."
- The main characters are a fox and dog. The fox is sly and smart, whereas the dog is arrogant and proud. The dog guards a farm, and the fox lives in the forest that surrounds that farm.
- The fox wants to steal eggs from the farm, but he is afraid of the dog. However, he notices how clean and lustrous the dog's fur is, so he compliments the dog.
- The dog loves being complimented, so he begins telling the fox about himself. He talks about what he eats, how many baths he takes a month, how comfortably he sleeps, etc.
- The dog talks so much that he ends up revealing the best time for the fox to enter the farm undetected - the time when he, the dog, is too busy to guard anything.
- The next day, the fox steals all the eggs and the dog's owner is rightfully angry. The dog realizes he has talked too much and that his pride led him to think the fox is really interested in learning about him.
<h3>What is a fable?</h3>
- A fable is a type of story that presents a moral lesson. Its main characteristic is the use of animals and objects with human qualities and abilities, such as talking, as characters.
- The topics above can be developed into a fable where the lesson is that pride is harmful and can lead us to give our enemies the means to destroy us.
- The dog is <u>proud and narcissistic</u>. For that reason, he thinks everyone admires him and is interested in him. He cannot stop talking about himself, so he ends up giving away precious information to the fox.
- A good idea is to write the dialogue between the characters showing how much dog talks as opposed to how little the fox talks. The fox will mostly express admiration for the dog's beauty and his comfortable life, trying to get him to keep on talking.
