Benjamin Franklin is a man of many wonders and helped shaped the world as we know it. This autobiography explains the life and travels of Benjamin Franklin. During this edition of ‘the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin’, it was the intention of the publishers to try and attempt in a fit and discuss the life of Franklin and how he changed the world as most see it. During this essay I intend to inform some of the impact Benjamin Franklin had on the Americans.
Benjamin Franklin was born January 17, 1706 by parents Josiah Franklin and Abiah Folger, Franklin was the eighth of ten children in his family. Benjamin had a somewhat hard time learning in school, “… being on some occasion made asham’d of my ignorance in figures, which I had twice failed in learning when at school…”. He did eventually find his own way of learning which helped him greatly, “…I took Cocker’s book of Arithmetick, and went through the whole by myself with great ease”.
“I also read Seller’s and Shermy’s books of Navigation, and became acquainted with the little geometry they contain; but never proceeded far in that science” (Page 38).
Benjamin Franklin was quite close to the governor of where he lived at the time and would normally get sent out to voyage. He was also a holder of specific, important documents. Franklin was also a writer and a publisher in his early years, he opened a business that was highly successful, the business also helped produce some of these government documents (Pages 60-70: “skimmed over some but I did need a bit of help understanding so I had to search a bit”). He was praised by many for his work with his writings. Benjamin Franklin’s business prospered, and as it did, he became involved in civic affairs.
Some time around the date 1754, during a meeting of colonial representatives in Albany, New York, Franklin had decided upon a plan for joining together the colonies under a national congress. Unfortunately Benjamin Franklin’s Albany Plan had been rejected it still had helped lay some of the base work for the Articles of Confederation, which would soon become most of the first constitution of the United States.
Franklin was an avid scientist and was always testing new things. His inventions shed a whole new light on many things people use today and it has changed the world as everyone knows it. He studied so many different things that have helped make our world better. As many know, he invented the bifocals and practically electricity as we know it. Not many know this but he also invented an instrument, sadly the instrument wasn’t used as often but it was called the glass armonica.
In conclusion, Benjamin Franklin was a huge part of our nation’s history. He helped build a constitution and work to build the groundwork for the constitution. Franklin had invented things that improved our country and changed the world and science as we know it.
