English 11 bonus--Franklin Aphorisms

Ben Franklin aphorisms

We have been talking about how what we see/do/hear/experience influences what and how we write/speak. The same is true of our historical authors, authors such as Benjamin Franklin.

Look at the provided link.  On it you will find a variety of Benjamin Franklin aphorisms (life sayings).  Think about what made him write them.  Think about how they apply to your life.  Select one and write a short 5-10 sentence reflection on how the aphorism applies to your life.  How does the aphorism influence you or what has happened for you to believe the aphorism to be true.

10 points maximum
