Benjamin Franklin

by Bianca from Laguna Beach

My hero is Benjamin Franklin. Ben was born in January 17, 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. I chose Ben Franklin because he was the first man to find out that there was electrity in the clouds. His mom's name was Abiah and his dad's name was Josiah. Ben's mom and dad had 17 kids. Ben was the 15th child. Ben was self-educated.

Ben helped the patriot cause by helping to write and sign the Declaration of Independence. The actions occur in Pennsylvannia. Ben risked his life for the patriots bcause he wanted to have a better country. These actions are heroic because Ben helped our country a lot and he made it better.

Benjamin Franklin impacted my life because he helped our country. Ben Franklin died in Philadephia on April 17, 1790 at the age of 84.
