Entry 6 Final reflection

My personal reaction was satisfaction the book met most of my expectations the book’s writing style was very unique and intrigued me the book was written as an outline of Franklin’s life that is based off of a collection of his writings that tell the story of his life this was a completely new way of writing to me and I really didn’t expect the book to be written this way really at all but the book delivered it provided most of all I wanted it gave me much more insight on the life of Benjamin Franklin and it provided more information on what he did for America the book also provided a great deal of history which I enjoyed very much.  One complaint I did have with the book is that it didn’t talk a great deal about his life it doesn’t tell you where he went to school or what university he attended it mostly discussed his early adult life to his death which makes some sense as this was really the time in his life in which he achieved the most and actually did the most.  The book actually met most of my initial expectations and it actually provided most of what I wanted to learn about Benjamin Franklin.  Compared to many of the other memoirs we have read in class such as Night by Elie Wiesel both of these books tell a story and also provide a great deal of history.  This book was a very intellectual and interesting learning experience that I would recommend to any fan of history.
