Summary Of The Founding Father Who Winks At Us

"The Founding Father Who Winks At Us" " But Ben Franklin, that ambitious urban entrepreneur, seems made of flesh rather than of marble, addressable by nickname, and he turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind those newfangled spectacles. He speaks to us, through his letters and hoaxes and autobiography, not with orotund rhetoric but with a chattiness and clever irony that is very contemporary, sometimes unnervingly so. We see his reflection in our own time." This evidence explains Franklin's Kind side. It says in the paragraph "seems made of flesh rather than of marble, addressable by nickname, and he turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind those newfangled spectacles." This means he is

He doesn't want the people to think he is of higher power and that he will ignore them if someone tried to talk to him. But he is a man, just a normal human being like everyone else, who you can turn to to talk about anything you want. He will listen to what you say and he will smile and be happy about it. "..." Ben Franklin, "...", seems made of flesh rather than of marble, addressable by nickname, and he turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind those newfangled spectacles.

Benjamin Franklin uses his kind side a lot when writing and debating things for the government, decision making, normal conversations, etc. One example of his kind side is in "The Founding Father who Winks At Us" It says in the writing "But Ben Franklin, that ambitious urban entrepreneur, seems made of flesh rather than of marble" (The Founding Father who Winks At Us, Paragraph 1) This is an example of other people knowing that he is more kind then any other politic. The other side I have written about is his witty side. Franklin uses his witty side a lot in trying to persuade people, his writings, joking, etc. One example of his witty side is in "Franklin’s Conversational Style"It says in the writing "Franklin went on to catalog the most common conversational sins “which cause dislike,” the greatest being “talking overmuch … which never fails to excite resentment.” The only thing amusing about such people, he joked, was watching two of them meet" (Franklin’s Conversational Style, Paragraph 2) This is an example of his witty-ness in his writings. These two writings compare because he uses both of them in almost everything he does. One example of a writing that includes both of his sides is "Franklin Get's in Character." This writing has both his witty and kind side because in the writing it says "Franklin was well aware of, and amused by, the image
