A lot of people these days don't know much about Benjamin Franklin. Little do they know the he was one the main founding fathers of the USA. He was one of the few people that signed off on the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress back in July 4, 1776. It announced that the thirteen colonies, which were at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as, thirteen newly independent sovereign states, and no longer a part of the British Empire. They instead formed a new nation, The United states. 
Ben was also famous for his vast number of inventions such as the bifocals, lighting rod, and the Franklin Stove. Bifocals are simply glasses that help people see better than before. Benjamin Franklin is known to be one of the best, and most famous inventors ever. Even though some of Franklin's most famous inventions have been improved over the years, to fit the modern need, It is Franklin himself that came up with the idea.
In conclusion, I know that my life wouldn't nearly be the same if it weren't for the greatly admired work of Benjamin Franklin. Ben Franklin never settled for one thing, one result, he always had to strive to be the best that he could be. I truly admire Ben for not only the work that he did, or the inventions he created, but mostly for his work ethic, his mind set. He wouldn't stop until what he was working on was the best it could be, and thats the reason why I look up to Benjamin Franklin.https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/BenFranklinDuplessis.jpg&imgrefurl=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin&h=2971&w=2403&tbnid=mA2nEyog27HPjM:&tbnh=186&tbnw=150&docid=7w2AZ-hmQp7EkM&itg=1&usg=__NgeIVDqGjGPyUkHRXi5V4m8Ps7I=

Hey Bowen,
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you told us about Benjamin Franklin, and his claims to fame. It was also cool how you gave a brief history of the United States at the same time.

ReplyDeleteBraden,
I liked his work ethic because he never settled for anything less than perfect, or what he wanted originally, and I aspire to have the same work ethic.
Thanks for the question,
Bowen
Dear Bowen,
ReplyDeleteI really liked this piece because it showed how you connect to Ben Franklin personally, and also some of his inventions. I also thought it was cool how you said that you admire him most for his work ethic, not just the things he created. One question I have is, in what ways do you think your life would be different if it weren't for Benjamin Franklin?
Sincerely,
Grant U.
Dear Bowen,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your article because it gives a clear and well thought out description of the setting the Benjamin Franklin lived in, then it gives a nice list of many of his beneficial inventions and you end with a moving passage of why Benjamin Franklin was important to you. All and all it is a nice view point on who Benjamin Franklin or as you call him Ben. My one question for you is, what exact contributions did he make to the independence of America?
Well wishes,

ReplyDeleteI really liked your post but I espescially enjoyed that you had to tell us what bifocals were. It just shows how much the world and it's creations have changed. Is there any reason that he wanted to be an inventor over any other job out there?

ReplyDeleteWow, who knew that Benjamin Franklin created all these amazing inventions! Thanks for sharing this, I learned a lot from this beautifully well written post! How would your life be without Benjamin Franklin? Would it be easier, or harder?

Bowen,
ReplyDeleteI never knew Benjamin Franklin was responsible for so many of the things we use everyday! I think it's very interesting how you said that you admire him most for his work ethic rather the things he created. One question, how would you live without Benjamin Franklin? Would life be slightly different, or a whole other world seemingly?
Best,
