I have a giant paper that we work on through out the semester and I chose mine on Benjamin Frankling and his influence on America and what he did in his lifetime.
I have done enough research that I have a good enough handle about how we lived his life and how he changed well not really changed but formed the building blocks to what america is today. He in life was a man of pure curiosity and if he did not have any curiosity then maybe we would be in a set back of america.
He did so much research on electricity and lightning which led to the lightning rod which let to more research and procetion and life maybe be different from today not completely different but definitely have differences in electrical knowledge.
He also invented the Frankline stove which I have done zero zip nada research on but I thinkhe invented it to heat houses and maybe cook without using the firplace or campfire.
What I admire the most is that he took no profit from his inventions he just gave them away for people to sell and colected nothing but happiness that he was doing good.
But the biggest shock that came to my research was that he was a serious ladysman. And I mean it! He also wrote many essays and articles to help gentlemen with women and how to please them and how to make a marriage work. Isn't that just really weird.
He was also a very talented swimmer and extremely muscular man. Reading about this was extremely weird because it is weird. Just plane weird.
I just wanted to share what I have learned and that good old plump Ben Franklin is definitely a very interesting person who I will definitely remember everything I learn about him.
Happy blogging.
So have any questions about good old Ben then give my a post.
