Two Sides Of David Franklin
There are two different sides of Franklin that I have noticed from the past that we read. One kind of Franklin that is creative and funny. The other side that I have noticed is the serious and scientific kind of Franklin. I remember the funny side of Franklin in "Introducing Dogood" and the other scientific side is in " Franklin the scientist". These two sides of Franklin are very different because funny and playful doesn't really go with some one who is serious and wants to get the job done, in other words these two sides are like cats and

    Comparing Benjamin Franklin And Silas Deane's Letter To Congress

    After two months of sailing, he finally landed north of Charleston on June 13, 1777. He then spent the next month traveling through various states like North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, and after thirty-two days, arrived in Philadelphia. Congress originally tossed aside even considering letting Lafayette fight; but they would soon be persuaded. Not only did Benjamin Franklin and Silas Deane write a letter to Congress on Lafayette’s behalf, but Lafayette also took the liberty to write a letter to Congress as well. He wrote, “After the sacrifices I have made, I have the right to exact two favours: one is, to serve at my own expense, - the other is, to serve at first as a volunteer” (85). Moved by this sentiment, Congress established him as a major general of the Continental Army on July 31.…

    Benjamin Franklin's Purpose To Ridicule Puritan Beliefs

    With specific time and setting that establish authenticity; this hoax, written allegedly by Benjamin Franklin, has the purpose to ridicule Puritan Beliefs. Throughout this hoax, the narrator is deeply uninvolved; he ironically describes puritan folks with comic exaggeration. Benjamin Franklin portrayed puritans as an entertainment spectacle and ridiculed their beliefs such as witchcraft. Franklin states, “ 300 People were gathered together to see an Experiment or two tried on some Persons accused of Witchcraft”. To apprehend the joke it is crucial to point out the connotations of the word “experiment”. Experiments are unproven procedures that are still being tested and have no definite result yet. This term was Benjamin Franklin’ first of…

    Ben Franklin's Native Americans

    In the works of Ben Franklin and John Smith the Native Americans were portrayed with no disregard for feelings. By portraying the Native Americans as savages what were the long term outcomes? First off they were not respected by anyone because they were different in their beliefs. Second they were also thought of as being stupid and not educated correctly. Third they were used for the skills that they knew (i.e. hunt, survive), since white men could not do many of the things Indians could do. I think that when Ben Franklin was writing about the Native Americans it was for people to read and see that they were being treated unfairly. John Smith wrote about how he and his men belittled them and it is hard to say what if any of his writings were true and reliable.…

    The Theme of Guilt and Abandonment on Adam Haslett’s “Notes to My Biographer”

    Amidst Haslett’s narration of Franklin, I noticed these words of Franklin symbolic, saying his son is not the same anymore since he is now damaged by his actions as “On the floor of his room he’d trace with delicate hands, what he remembered of my design: I see those same hands now spread on his thighs, nails bitten down, cuticles torn” (Haslett 9). These words were not only composed of Graham’s opinions of his son. It also includes the writer’s implication of Franklin’s torment upon losing his inspirational mentor. I can relate these feelings myself for I am a person who idolizes his father. Franklin as a child also looked up to Graham as an inspirational figure, but he was let down. I would have fallen apart like Franklin if I were in his situation.…
