Deep Blue Book Report

Franklin was a very witty man with a sharp sense of humor that was funny as well very competent. He made comments that would seem to make no sense at all, but actually made more sense than what anyone else had said. He sadly had gout in his foot, but that didn’t stop from being one of the most significant people in American history. Franklin also wanted the turkey as the national bird.

It is easy to see Benjamin Franklin was no doubt an archetypal American. No one since him has ever had the same amount of success as him. He was a private businessman who made enough money to retire early and to spend the rest of his life in politics. Around this time period only the rich were able to retire early. He was industrious. Franklin continually put forth the idea of the industrious American. He had support from the middle-class who did not care if he was rich but he was a man who was self-made and worked hard. This American attitude was formed early and most of it by him. Franklin was also not judgmental came to decisions and conclusions as a businessman and politician. However, his attitude was non-judgmental with respect to a

When Benjamin Franklin was little he loved to write. When he was 12 he went to work as a beginner in his brothers’ workshop. He even wrote newspapers and gave them to the townspeople at night. He disguised himself as an old lady widow, which made his brother mad, so Benjamin was beaten for it. After a few years his brother was put in jail for writing something offensive to a particular family. Eventually Benjamin was fed up and he ran away. He moved to Philadelphia where he started a printing

2.) Industry/Self-Improvement: Franklin often can be seen assuming that any effort will be successful if the proper amount of hard work is applied to it. He was, however, aware that he had been very lucky and that few efforts would reach fruition without some effects of luck. It is interesting to see how at every turn Franklin had some sort of system or method laid out, followed it step-by-step, and achieved the intended result. Many people today can think of what it would take to be successful at something (say a sport or skill) but few know so thoroughly the correct path to take and actually walk down it to its end. We observe this ability even in his childhood. At the time, these attitudes toward

As a child growing up in the young city of Boston, Franklin was immediately recognized as a leader amongst his peers. He was fascinated with creating makeshift innovations that made every day tasks easier for him, and always thought in pragmatic and scientific terms. His father, Josiah Franklin, lead a humble life as a devout Puritan and tallow chandler after arriving to America with his wife. Yet he eventually found the business to be quite profitable and was able to become avidly involved in public virtue, benefiting his family exponentially. Franklin would later follow his father’s path of the pursuit of public virtue and private profit, which would lead him to an interest in politics.

Benjamin Franklin is an absolutely astonishing man discovering many things and becoming president of pennsylvania! He was best known for accomplishing stuff like drafting the Declaration of Independence or even drafting the Constitution of the USA or discovering electricity, yeah you get the point! Benjamin Franklin is an amazing guy and you guys SHOULD agree at the end of this BIOGRAPHY!

From the start Benjamin Franklin was a problem solver. Not long after becoming an apprentice at his brothers printing shop when he was only 12, Franklin found a way to voice his opinion on controversial topics like the treatment of women. Knowing his brother would never polish anything

Franklin took advantage of everything that came his way but was a modest man and used it to his benefit. While he was in Philadelphia working for Samuel Keimer, his work attracted the attention of the Governor, Sir William Keith. Governor Keith offered to set up the then 18 year old Franklin in business. He told Franklin to go to London to buy printing equipment and not to worry because there would be a letter of credit on the ship. When Franklin arrived in London, there was no letter of credit. Once again Franklin was alone, friendliness, and penniless in a strange city. But Franklin quickly found work with a printer. His only reasoning as to why the Governor did what he did was because it was a “habit he had acquired” (356). Instead of retaliating with the Governor, Franklin dismissed the situation and in turn benefited from more experience by working with a printer.

Benjamin Franklin is a famous and religious American legend. He is a successful printer, scientist, author and father. He is a religious man who believes doing good to humans is a way to please God.

Benjamin Franklin 's childhood was full of grueling and hard working experiences. When Benjamin was first born he was the tenth son of a soap maker. He was one of the sons of Josiah 's second wife, Abiah Folger. When benjamin was a young boy his father wanted to send him to a clergy school but sadly couldn’t afford the schooling for Benjamin. So instead he sent Benjamin to Benjamin’s older brother James who worked as a printer. When Benjamin was fifteen his older brother started “The New England Courant” which just so happened to be the first actual “‘newspaper’” in Boston. In doing so Benjamin and his brother, as well as some other workers had to work very hard to get the news, print it, and then send those copies to everyone in Boston. After a while Benjamin was bored and decided to ask his brother, James, if he could write something in the papers. James his older brother, said no. So in doing so Benjamin decided to write letters about women and their struggles using a made up

Those two aspects of his life fueled many parts of his transformation, the Word helped him get an idea of his Virtues, and the written word forwarded his career in politics, science, and philosophies. Franklin’s words have left a mark on American history, as just some of the works of one of our founding fathers. Even in his youth, he was highly educated, and spent most of his time either reading or writing. In his adulthood, these also consisted of experimenting as well, like the famous kite experiment that he conducted. Literature was a large part of Franklin’s life and his

When he was seventeen, Benjamin Franklin ran away from his brother’s print shop and left Boston. He made his way to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania witch was the largest city at that time. There he had a few jobs over the next few years as a printer or a cashier. After a few years went by Franklin decided to start his own printing business. “Besides printing books and pamphlets, he also published a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette” (Mulrooney, 2006). Now Franklin had his own newspaper just like his brother’s.

​The two different sides that I noticed of Franklin were that one side of him was that he was a scientific person and the other side of him was that he was creative. He was a scientific person because he did a lot of experiments in his time. I remember seeing this side in "Franklin the Scientist". The other side of him was that he was creative. He was creative because when he wrote a story he never used his own name he made up characters like Silence Dogood. I saw this side in the story "Introducing to Silence Dogood". These two sides are connected because when he is a scientific person he is creating new

​After reading multiple passages, I can conclude that Franklin has different sides to his personality. One side I can remember clearly is that Franklin is a very persuasive person. He was very good reasoning and getting his ideas out. Which is one reason why he was such an admirable person. Another side to Franklin I can remember is that he could be silly. In a passage I read a while ago, I can remember they called him the Founding Father who winks at us. This represented that he had a sense of humor and could get along with

“And to the joint influence of the whole mass of the virtues, even in the imperfect state he was able to acquire them, all that evenness of temper, and that cheerfulness in conversation, which makes his company still sought for, and agreeable even to his younger acquaintance. I hope, therefore, that some of my descendants may follow the example and reap the benefit.” The mash-up of all of his efforts, though he did not reach the state pf perfection he so strove for, made a wonderful human being. By the end of his life, Franklin, among many other things, contained integrity, humble character, and wisdom. In the long run, his goal was to become a human being whom was well-liked and focused, who had experienced extreme change in character.
