Summary "Franklin's Autobiography" by Benjamin Franklin is a historical autobiography written in the late 18th century. This work chronicles the life of one of America's Founding Fathers, detailing his rise from humble beginnings in Boston to prominence as a statesman, inventor, and writer. The narrative not only captures Franklin’s personal journey but also reflects the sociopolitical landscape of early America, offering insights into his thoughts on education, self-improvement, and civic responsibility. The opening portion of the autobiography begins with Franklin addressing his son, explaining his desire to share the anecdotes of his life. He reflects on his humble origins, including his family background, education, and early interests in reading and writing. Franklin describes the challenges he faced, such as his apprenticeship under his brother, his subsequent journey to Philadelphia, and his budding interest in trade and printing. It is the beginning of his quest for knowledge and success amidst a backdrop of historical events and personal growth, setting the stage for the remarkable life experiences he will recount throughout the narrative.
