Answer 2

Franklin was an interesting man. From an early age he showed remarkable intelligence, but his father forbade him to read and pulled out of school at 7 years old to apprentice with a candle maker. Ben didn’t like it so he was eventually apprentice to his brother as a printer. When his brother was arrested Ben kept the printing business going until his brother was released. His brother did a dirty thing by forcing Ben to sign another 7 year apprentice contract with him. At this time Ben was 17 years old and decided to run away instead of serving another 7 years. It was against the law to leave an apprenticeship, but he left Boston anyway hoping his experience in printing would get him work. It wasn’t long before he found himself in Philadelphia where he will live for the rest of his life. Franklin wrote books, invented several things, was a diplomat and help negotiate with France for help in the revolution and took part in the Declaration of Independence and the constitution.
