Ben franklin

             Based on his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin was a very interesting person. The anecdotes if believed in this story reveal some of his leadership like characteristics. When he is introduced to new people he overwhelms them with his charm. His generosity doesn't have and end even when he is in need. He is very courageous in ways that show inner and outer strengths. Benjamin Franklin's characteristics show his leadership qualities.
             Benjamin Franklin's charming and kind ways have helped him be successful in life. When Benjamin Franklin moved to Burlington He had nowhere to live and little money. He met an old lady whom he charmed and she let him stay with her for the price of beer. The old lady did not want Ben Franklin to leave because he was a very charming individual. When Benjamin Franklin met William Bradford Benjamin had no money and was very ragged looking. William Bradford saw beyond his looks and was charmed by his personality. He gave Benjamin a job at a printing press. So, as stated before, Benjamin Franklin's charming abilities helped him through life.
             I believed Benjamin Franklin's generosity never ended. He helped and gave to many people. Benjamin Franklin bought three rolls but then he noticed a starving mother and child, although he had little money or food himself he ate only one roll and gave the other two to the mother and child. Another example of his generosity was when he was on his way to Boston he helped row the boat, the men on the boat insisted on Benjamin not to pay but he refused and paid anyway. In the many ways Benjamin showed his generosity. I believe people learned to appreciate him and befriend him.
             I think Benjamin Franklin had lots of courage. He left home at age seventeen leaving his family and everything he knew. In the anecdotes it tells the story of a drunken sailor whom Benjamin rescues. They were on their way to New York when they ran into bad weather and a drunken sailor fell overboard and Benjamin grabbed him up by his hair and saved his life.
