The Rich Man's Son

By Jonathan Ambler

The Rich Man's Son takes the reader to a time when accomplishment determined self-worth. A young man flounders when he has everything given to him. His father intervenes in order to give his son a life of purpose. The son's journey back to his father goes through the depths of personal challenge, while he learns integrity in spite of personal poverty. Integrity defines who we really are. What we make of our selves determines our value to ourselves and others.The author uses language and tone to convey a theme of hard work, integrity, and maturity. For example, in chapter 3 it states, "A man does not succeed because he is stronger or better than other men. He succeeds because he does not quit like other men." The Rich Mans's son uses these words to overcome a task that seemed impossible, leaving the quote in the reader's mind to reflect upon in times of doubt. Additionally, in chapter 5 it states, "We are responsible for more than just a business." This quote shows how the Rich Man's Son's hard work made him more mature as he understands things he did not before. He understands that running the mill means he is also responsible for the well being of his employees and their families. Ultimately, The Rich Man's Son is a story of growing up and determination as the author clearly sends the message that true success can only be achieved through hard work.
