MY VOCABULARY STORY:
Macy the eloquent department store founder, earned notoriety for
being mercenary and promoting materialism. However; he is largely exempt
from criticism is New York, his original headquarters; because of the prosperity
he brought to the city.
SIMPLE VERSION:
Macy the smooth talking department store founder, earned a bad reputation
for being greedy and promoting a consumer culture. However; he is largely
forgiven in New York, his original headquarters; because of the prosperity
he brought to the city.
Paraphrase:
Macy was one of those shrewed 19th century robber barrons. He was widely
known for greed and personally started a culture of consumerism. However; in New York
his faults are overlooked because of the great wealth he brought into the City.
