Benjamin Franklin - writer
As an author, Franklin’s style is quite modern, and even today his works are a joy to read. Although he strongly disagreed with the opinions of the Puritans, his works show a return to their “plain style”. At the same time, there is something “anti-literary” about Franklin. He had no liking for poetry and felt that writing should always have a practical purpose. In the language of his writing, Franklin admirably reflects both Locke’s psychology and Locke’s political theory, and influences other writers in their choices of language, subject matter and worldview.

Poor Richard’s Almanac
Click to edit Master text styles
This work gives similar advice. Almanacs, containing much useful information for farmers and sailors were a popular form of practical literature. Together with the Bible and the newspaper, they were the only reading matter in most Colonial households. Franklin made his Almanac interesting by creating the character “Poor Richard”. Each new edition continued a simple but realistic story about Richard, his wife and family. He also included many “sayings” about saving money and working hard. Some of these are known to most Americans today:God helps them who help themselves. In 1757, Franklin collected together the best of his sayings, making them into an essay called The Way to Wealth. This little book became one of the best sellers of the Western world and was translated into many languages. In The Way to Wealth, there are also many famous sayings. For example, “Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise” “One today is worth two tomorrow” “Diligence is the mother of good luck” etc.
"Wedlock" is reprinted from Poor Richard's Almanack. May, 1734.

THE Body of Benjamin Franklin Printer (Like the cover of an old book Its contents torn out And stript of its lettering and gilding) Lies here, food for worms. But the work shall not be lost For it will (as he believed) appear once more In a new and more elegant edition Revised and corrected by The Author.
"Remember, that time is money." --Advice to young tradesman, 1748. "Energy and persistence conquer all things." "Genius without education is like silver in the mine." "Early morning hath gold in its mouth."

His achivements in writing
He was the only one writer in the colonial period ,whose works are still read today . Besides the regular news of the Philadelphia Gazette, Franklin included his own articles and editorials alive with humor and wisdom in the newspaper. His own Autobiography is still very popular and be enjoyed today as much as it could at the time that it was written . From 1732 to 1758 ,he published Poor Richard’s Almanac(年历) under the Richard Saunders (an English astrologer<星相学家>) .which is an annual collection of proverbs. He also edited the first colonial magazine the General Magazine.
"Death is a Fisherman" is reprinted from Poor Richard's Almanack. September, 1733.

2 WEDLOCK
WEDLOCK, as old men note, hath likened been, Unto a public crowd or common rout; Where those that are without would fain get in, And those that are within, would fain get out. Grief often treads upon the heels of pleasure, Marry'd in haste, we oft repent at leisure; Some by experience find these words missplaced, Marry'd at leisure, they repent in haste.
"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of."
The End
Thank you for your attention!!!
