If you do not include the 3 required block quotes to support your position, your paper will lose one letter grade. The quotes are to enhance your answers to the questions, not be the answers to the questions. Remember, this is supposed to be your paper, not Franklin’s work. Do NOT copy the text and paste the text to answer the questions. You are to answer the questions and use the text to back up what you are stating. Do not include the writing prompt within your essay. Be sure to answer all parts of the questions. A block quote is typically several sentences long.
Section 1: Describe how Benjamin Franklin established the public library in Philadelphia. What was the effect of this library on Franklin? What was the effect of the library on his community?
Section 2: Explain Franklin’s quest for moral perfection. What process did he use? Be specific. How successful was he? Which virtues did he find the most challenging to maintain? Providing some detail, what was meant by his saying, “a speckled ax is best?” Name one virtue that Franklin omitted from his pursuit of perfection that you feel should have been included.
Section 3: Was Franklin a religious man? Why, or why not? Provide specific evidence from the autobiography to support your conclusions.
