The book i'm reading is ''Autobiography and other writings'' by Benjamin Franklin.
He may not appear at first to be a literary figure in the same way that Emerson, Stowe, or Stevens. Instead, Franklin seems like a historical figure, known for his discoveries about electricity and his political activities during the American revolution and later. The most important stage of his education,made him"a tolerable English Writer''.franklin was a writer by profession to an extent equalled by no other other colonial American. His advancement in business, his career as a statesman, even his acclaim as a scientist depended upon his writing abilities.
I'm enjoing reading this book because it's about a significant person. The book is full of new words, but it's ok.
