Young+Kyu+K.+-+I+am+Benjamin+Franklin

The person I am doing for the I Am project is Benjamin Franklin. I knew a quite a lot of things about Benjamin Franklin even before I researched him. One major thing that I knew about him was that he did an experiment with a kite and a key attached to the bottom of the kite. The experiment was to prove that lightning can travel through objects. Another thing that I knew about him was that he enjoyed drinking wines, and that he had a whole collection of wines, according to a book about wines. The last thing that I knew about him was that he was one of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. In addition, he was also part of the federalist party. While I was researching, I found out that he was an inventor, printer, and a plitician. And I was curious how he could do all of that. He must be talented at various things. Also, when I found out that he was a politician, I had a question in my mind: 'What significant role did Benjamin Franklin do to America when he was a politician?'

"Why didn't Benjamin Franklin have three different jobs (printer, scientist & politician) instead of having one permanent job?"**
