Answer 69

What inference can you draw from this passage from It was Never about the Ketchup? Explain how at least three specific details in the passage helped you form the inference. Your answer should be 3-5 complete sentences. Be sure to use correct grammar, spellling, and punctuation in your answer.



H. J. Heinz never figured his time by its money value. He figured its value wholly in terms of what he could accomplish with it, and this same trait was one that marked his youth. Thus as he had done his share of the garden work without thinking of pay, he had done his share of work in the brick-making establishment without pay. However, when he reached twenty-one, his savings (which had been started with the wages he earned as a potato picker) amounted to enough to enable him to purchase a half-interest in his father's business, and his father was glad to have him.
