The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
In this term, I read the book The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, in the book, he showed us what his childhood was like and what he came to value as meaningful and worthwhile techniques of communication, conduct, and self-improvement. Franklin was not in favorable growth environment, and it should be a relatively plain appearance. In 1706 he was born in North America, the home Top 15 of 17 children. His Father is involved in wax and soap as a small businessman, Franklin entered the school for about two years before dropping out of school because of family distress. Then he went to work as an apprentice in his brother’s printing shop, the apprentice days was very difficult, but he did a good use of the apprenticeship leisure time to study hard, and read a lot of books in politics, science, history and literature. He was also proficient in the use of French, Italian, Spanish and Latin by himself. In 1726 Franklin manages a printing factory, it was a great success which created a leg(原文来自：wWw.xiaOcAofANweN.coM 小 草 范 文 网:富兰克林自传英语论文)end of the American dream, and he printed a huge impact "Pennsylvania". He invented the lightning rod, dual-purpose glasses, new stove and new lights. He pioneered the North American colonies the slogan that is "not join are the death" and drafted out the drafting of" Declaration of Independence "published in 1771 which changed the fate of countless people, and this book gave a description of its process of growth and exhorted the people to be positive.
there are a lot of Proverbs in this book that Franklin felt in his life, reading this book is not only to feel the sentiment, but also to combine their training and humanity and then to improve ourselves, the book describes each chapter are a true portrayal of his life and tell us how to get all the perception which inspired me very much
In his view, reading is the key to success. Book is invaluable he greatest joy. Books give us wisdom, strengthen our determination and let us have the wisdom of the trip of our life.
Franklin attaches great importance to his own virtue. Therefore, he proposed to 13 requirements for himself namely: control, quiet, orderly life, determination, frugality, diligence, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity and humility. He has been trying to do that, though he cannot completely meet the requirements, but he was persistent. The people who can meet the 13 requirements can be called "saints" of the fact that people are rarely perfect, but it can pursue such a perfect people in the United States and Germany who have achieved great success. My goal is to cultivate
these virtues in himself, so I think it is best not to try all at once, I think it is very difficult, or in a period of time focused on one thing for the good. I will cultivate this virtue into habit, and then in another culture. So I arranged for the virtues of moderation training at first, because it needs to stay calm and think clearly. This cool-headed and clear thinking is necessary; the only way to always be vigilant is to resist the inertia of old habits and curb the temptation. If we have the excellence we can get other excellence much easier in exchange.
Also seen in the debate, Franklin was not humble when he was young, I often make that mistake, when there is no need to overwhelm people with very strong tone, although at the time it could have brought their own pleasure, but we need to understand other people's feelings.
Franklin was revered as the father of America for his impressive image that can maintain a frugal life style of work for the public welfare and make immortal contributions, compared to my own and the majority of people we can knew how impetuous we are.
I hope people will need: reticent, modest, frugal, more importance in the future to remove these bad habits, those things may be of great help to our growth. What’s more, I think it is necessary for everyone to by this book, which can have a better understanding of education, public utilities, as well as a human city, country effects.
Benjamin Franklin once said this sentence: "In my view, the things can bring happiness to mankind is not so much the great golden lucky, might as well say is the convenience all the time around." I think these words were very inspiring words, not only those rare good fortune, while ignoring the little things around; but also this sentence is also very good explain for Franklin's invention of those who benefit mankind and the reason for he became a inventor .
Franklin can make great success in so many areas which have a huge impact on the world affairs, should be largely dependent on his habits, very sorry I could not see his biography later life, perhaps he's more interested in some of my later life, in fact, people often like to see a brilliant side.
After reading Franklin's autobiography, a deep sense I received is that people cannot be conquered by inertia, cannot be the original self-restraint. To move forward to what we should aim at.
篇二：英文 美国文学 对本杰明富兰克林的自传的看法

About this statement, I think I partly agree with it. In details, I oppose the first sentence of this statement and support the last one.
Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A renowned polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions. He facilitated many civic organizations, including Philadelphia's fire department and a university. The above mentioned, you can google it from everywhere. Not only is it common for us, but also it is a fact that be known to the people around world. In other words, it actually is Franklin’s himself achievements. There is no doubt that we have to admit it. Obviously, he has the right and freedom to show off his own accomplishments let alone writing an autobiography. So as far as I’m concerned, it is reasonable for Franklin to gain such fame and rights.
As we all know that he has his own thirteen virtues. And some of it give me a deep impression and start to doubt that he was a blindly idealistic. For example, the Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time. If everyone can do this, there will no policemen and rules anymore! And the Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation. However, if he strictly obeys this rule, how his son William Franklin comes from? So as a human being, it’s really difficult for us to follow his thirteen virtues entirely. Man is by nature indolent.
Although his came from an ordinary family, no one has his lucky. Luckily, his brother is a little printer, so he can read the books and know some writers now and then. Luckily, a few years ago, he can earn some profits from it to spare time to do the research. Luckily, he not dies in the experiment of flying a kite in a storm. Luckily…… It is true that no one can as lucky as him. Not everyone can have his achievements without his good fortune. Not every ordinary people can have his achievements without his lucky.
But I do think the life of Benjamin Franklin is greatly inspiring. In many fields such as writing and science, he was excellent. To be honest, his autobiography is helpful for everyone. It was also the first popular self-help book. If we want to be successful men, we can read the book carefully and from it we may be able to learn a lot virtue.
篇三：英语读书报告----《本杰明.富兰克林自传》
In today’s knowledge-exploiting world, we no longer want for things to see, hear, read or learn as our ancestors did . Indeed, so many things are emerging everyday, but most of which just flash past, disappear, and are never remembered again. And the same can be said of books. If you enter any bookstores or libraries, you will find it more and more difficult to choose what you want to buy or read, each book on the shelves seeming to be waving towards you and trying to convince you that he is a better choice. Gradually, I incline to be a little conservative when confronting the embarrassment and hesitation on choosing books, that is to pick up a classic-only attitude. If a book can preserve itself for more than a century, there must be some reasons to go through it . On the contrary, a best-seller today may have a life for no more than a decade. I don’t think someone can be more intelligent or wiser than history itself, which thus may be a better guide for what should read or whom we should listen to. Yet this may take the risk of missing the original rising of contemporary classics, I still think it deserved considering another risk of contributing my time to something worthless or even bad. Forgive me ,my dear teacher, for saying so much as irrelevant to the required “book report”. In fact, I am always swimming in books as you kindly expected. And the above feeling is just my little happy and also miserable story between me and books.
Well, back to the theme, the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is here what I would like to reflect on, which demonstrates my principles as for choosing books -----“the older, the better”.
Benjamin Franklin ,as we all have already known, was a most successful thinker, politician, diplomat, scientist and entrepreneur in American history. In his Autobiography, which was originally written by him to his son as an education for all his posterities, Franklin showed all of us how he emerged from poverty and obscurity to a state of affluence and reputation all over the world. He was born in a soap-boiling family and was bred a soap-boiler by his father and brother all through his childhood. Unlike his brothers ,sisters and most of other contemporaries, Franklin’s curiosity was not in the career his family had designed for him. In fact , like any children, he interested himself in so many things ,most in reading. Many who have read his Autobiography will say, that what separated him from any others was reading and thinking, this answer being not enough to satisfy myself . Personally, I concluded that it was his constant unsatisfaction with contemporary being and pursuit of truth that fundamentally led to his great success: It was for this reason that he made use of all his leisure time to read books of history, philosophy, literature, natural science and economics etc., and to learn by himself French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Latin language; it was for this reason that he escaped home to Philadelphia to make his own living before adulthood and finally set up his own printing-house; it was for this that he could list thirteen virtues as a lifelong pursuit to continually perfect himself when he was just twenty-three years old; it was for this reason that he established so many organizations such as Junto , proposed so many reforms of the city and made so many inventions which all improved people’s living standards; and most importantly, it was for this reason that he , along with such great figures as George Washington and Thomas Jerferson, led the Americans through the Independence Revolution and laid the foundation of prosperity for America.
Great books won’t fade away with time passing by. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin has long been a best-seller in the world’s publishing history for its over 200-year existence, during which it has influenced countless people and helped them to change their life road forever. Maybe that is where the force of classics lies, so old ,so strong……
