Answer 3

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was an American writer, printer, statesman, and inventor. He was elected to the Second Continental Congress, and he helped to draft the Declaration of Independence. He's known for The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and Poor Richard's Almanack

Ben began writing letters at night and signing them with the name of a fictional widow, Silence Dogood. Dogood was filled with advice and very critical of the world around her, particularly concerning the issue of how women were treated. Ben would sneak the letters under the print shop door at night so no one knew who was writing the pieces. They were a smash hit, and everyone wanted to know who was the real "Silence Dogood

In 1733 he started publishing Poor Richard's Almanack. Almanacs of the era were printed annually, and contained things like weather reports, recipes, predictions and homilies. Franklin published his almanac under the guise of a man named Richard Saunders, a poor man who needed money to take care of his carping wife. What distinguished Franklin's almanac were his witty aphorisms and lively writing. Many of the famous phrases associated with Franklin, such as, "A penny saved is a penny earned" come from Poor Richard.

From www.fi.edu/franklin/statsman/statsman.html: Ben stands alone as the only person to have signed all four of the documents which helped to create the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776); the Treaty of Alliance, Amity, and Commerce with France (1778); the Treaty of Peace between England, France, and the United States (1782); and the Constitution (1787). He actually helped to write parts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. No other individual was more involved in the birth of our nation.

Answer 4

Are they not teaching you guys anything these days? He wrote Poor Richards Almanac, among other things. He did not write the Declaration. He was however, one of the members that helped make some changes to it. Thomas Jeffeson wrote the Declaration.

In 1733, Franklin began to publish the famous Poor Richard's Almanac (with content both original and borrowed) under the name Richard Saunders, on which much of his popular reputation is based. Everybody who cared to know, knew it was Benjamin Franklin but it was a different name. So when he published as Poor Richard he could say things that he didn't want to say as Benjamin Franklin. It was as if this "other side" of Benjamin Franklin was just dying to speak his mind. "Poor Richard's Proverbs", adages from this almanac, such as "A penny saved is twopence dear" (often misquoted as "A penny saved is a penny earned"), "Fish and visitors stink in three days" remain common quotations in the modern world. Wisdom in folk society meant the ability to provide an apt adage for any occasion, and Franklin's readers became well prepared. He sold about ten thousand copies per year (a circulation equal to nearly three million today).[10]

In 1758, the year in which he ceased writing for the Almanac, he printed Father Abraham's Sermon. Franklin's autobiography, published after his death, has become one of the classics of the genre
