Did you know that lessons or experiences that people have as a child can affect their character traits as an adult? A famous person that is an amazing example of this is Milton Hershey, the creator of Hershey’s chocolate company. As a young teenager, he was taught how to create candy by Joseph R. Royer. This small detail led him to create two small businesses, which failed, and one large business, Hershey’s. Another experience was that he was fourteen and only had the education of a fourth grader. This led him to create the Milton Hershey School, a private school that provides education to over 1,300 children annually. The Hershey’s company is a very successful company that all started because of one thing, Joseph R. Royer. His teachings of candy making, not his, allowed Milton Hershey to create Hershey’s. The article designated, “The Champion of Chocolate” states in paragraph 3, “At Royer’s Ice Cream Parlor and Garden, Milton learned the art of candy making and, within four years, was ready to strike out on his own.” In paragraph 11 of “The Champion of Chocolate” it states, “...the …show more content…

Another article entitled, “Milton Hershey and his chocolate school states, “Today, the Milton Hershey School is the largest private boarding school in the United States. Each year, more than 1,300 students receive education, career training, housing, clothing, meals, and health care—all free.” These quotes explain that his experience of not having a good education as a child led him to create one of the greatest schools for children in the United

Dickens uses verbal irony in his description of the Monseigneur’s chocolate ritual by showing that he must have four men prepare his hot chocolate. If only three men to prepare his hot chocolate it is difficult for him to swallow it. “Yes. It took four men, all four a-blaze with gorgeous decoration”(108). This quote shows how Monseigneur needs specifically four men because each man has one job it has to do like give Monseigneur a napkin, “presented the favoured napkin”(108). “Monseigneur could swallow many things with ease, and was by some few sullen minds supposed to rather be rapidly swallowing France” (108). Dickens uses irony to show the ridiculous situation of the ritual to how France is being destroyed. He uses this to show the contrast as a lord to a servant.

Milton Hershey is best known for being the creator of Hershey’s chocolate. However, he has accomplished more than concocting caramels and candies. Mr. Hershey was a philanthropist, someone who has an aspiration to aid people and end social problems. They do so by donating large amounts of their personal fortune to help people or things, somewhat like a charity, but the purpose is for it to last a long time rather than just for a while. Likewise, Milton Hershey was a caring man who sought to make life better for people, whether they be man, woman, or child.
Milton Hershey was not the type of person that anyone would have viewed as a leader, or shrewd businessman. Being born into a rather poor lower class family, he was not very well educated.

This is exactly the case of Milton Hershey, and because of his undying determination to succeed, he became one of the greatest success stories of all time.

M&M's plan was successful, they used very aggressive marketing and they become the #1 chocolate/candy company in America.
