Andrew Carnegie Andrew Carnegie is an American rags-to-riches story. His family emigrated from Scotland in 1848 and settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. His
family struggled to make ends meet, and at the age of 13, Carnegie took a job as a bobbin boy in a cotton factory. He earned $1.20 for a full week's
work. A series of jobs of increasing responsibility followed this career start. Carnegie worked as a telegraph messenger and operator. He worked at
a variety of jobs for the railroads, working his way up from a position as an assistant to an upper management position.
Along the way, this remarkable man invested his earnings in a variety of businesses. After some time, he left his job at the railroad and
concentrated on managing his own investments. He developed several businesses and eventually went into the steel business. Carnegie made
several advancements in this industry. His company improved both the technology and the methods used in the steel making process.
By 1901, this former $1.20 a week worker had amassed a fortune. Carnegie believed people of great wealth had an obligation to use it to
help others. He applied this philosophy to his own life. He sold his businesses and focused on a career as a philanthropist Carnegle donated more
than 2,500 public libraries, established schools and colleges, and began nonprofit organizations.

Which two passages in this excerpt from the death of ivan illych does leo tolstoy use to suggest that ivan ilych feels like his life is slipping away from him? "what's the use? it makes no difference," he said to himself, staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness. "death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
