Sample Book Insights:

#1 Franklin’s father, Josiah, was a nonconformist from Northamptonshire who had immigrated to the New World and become a candle and soap maker, one of the lowest of the artisan crafts. Franklin was the youngest son, and his father did not want him to attend college.

#2 The printing trade was a difficult, dirty, and physically demanding job. It was not very prestigious, and few families of substance would ever put their sons into it. But young Franklin was extremely ambitious and wanted to become a tolerable English writer.

#3 When Franklin’s brother found out who the author of the Silence Dogood essays was, he was not happy, as he thought the praise was making the young teenager too vain. The brothers began squabbling. Franklin realized his brother would not dare to reveal what he had done, so he took advantage of the situation and asserted his freedom.

#4 Franklin’s situation with his brother had become unbearable, and his standing in the Puritan-dominated community of Boston was little better. Since Franklin had become a little obnoxious to the governing Party, he decided to leave Boston.
