Explanation:
"The Way to Wealth" was a preface to Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanac", both of these texts offer advice on how to obtain and maintain wealth, while neither text explicitly offers a step-by-step tutorial on how to get rich, they certainly offer a lot of helpful and wise sayings. In "The Way to Wealth" we are given two narrators, Poor Richard, who addresses the reader directly, and Father Abraham who addresses Poor Richard directly. The use of two narrators was used so that Franklin, under the guise of Poor Richard, could properly defend his writings and advice. Father Abraham is often seen quoting Poor Richard's adages, for he is the only person Poor Richard knows who has completely digested his works and reached an understanding of his sayings. Regardless, it makes no difference, for no one listened to the words and adages that Father Abraham would repeat, Richard's exact words were, "The people heard it, and approved the doctrine, and immediately practiced the contrary, just as if it had been a common sermon . . .". This is meant to be an example of all those who purchased and avidly read Franklin's works, a critique of those unwilling to truly change their ways or those who have little to no work ethic. It is with these two narrative voices that Franklin comically critiques both lazy people stuck in their ways regardless of the preaching they receive and those who preach empty words. The purpose of the two different narrative voices was to help the audience reach a new understanding of what it meant to truly take in information, to truly learn from the adages they read.
