Author Scott Dance begins his article addressing Mayor Bloomberg's most recent generous gift of over $350 million, bringing his total amount of money donated to over $1.1 billion. Dance uses logos in the beginning of his article, stating how Bloomberg has given over 10 years and how his money has contributed to the scholarships and endowment of Hopkins. Dance then proceeds to introduce pathos into his article, writing about how the president of the university responded to the acceptance of Bloomberg's generous donation. Dance then returns to his incorporation of logos, giving background history on Bloomberg and how he received his bachelor's degree in engineering and later began his tradition of donating money. Dance then goes on to comment on how Bloomberg's gift is the largest to ever be given to an educational cause and how it has allowed Hopkins to better their programs, bearing his family name on multiple buildings. Dance concludes his article by stating facts about Bloomberg's life; he has been mayor of New York since 2002, he is the 11th richest person in the US, and he has a net worth of $22 billion.
