Benjamin Franklin

I read The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin which was written by Ben Franklin. He was born in 1706 in Boston. When he was young, he went to school to be a minister. However, he felt that he was interested in reading and writing. Then he started to work with his brother, but he fought with his brother and he moved to Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, he worked with Samuel Keimer about printing. During working, he also wrote some books. In addition, he was awarded honorary degrees from Harvard and Yale, and he became Postmaster General of America.
