"Benjamin Frankilin Autobiography"

       Benjamin Franklin was born on 1706. He started writing about his life in 1723. However, he did not have enough time to finsh the autobiography. He started writing his autobiography when he was seventeen years old. His main purpose was to inform us, and his objective was to obtain moral perfection. Franklins project was moral perfection, and he sad it came with thirteen virtues. He states how people define things differently from others. 
        His thirteen virtues included temperance, silence, order, resolution, furgality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranqulity, chasity, and humility. These thirteen virtues ar very powerful, and if completed correctly, a true man is formed. Benjamin talks about his plan on  how to achieve these goals. He will progress himself week by week. This is a very logical and reasonable progression. I thin Franklins autobiography is very respected, because it is just an unbelieavable story as well as philosphy that barely anybody could every achieve and write. After reading his virtues, i thought to myself about how much i have to change in my life and achieve to be a great man like Benjamin Franklin.
