Reading blog post


I am currently reading the book Who was Ben Franklin? The author is Dennis Brindell Fradin . This book is a biography about Ben Franklin. If I were to give this book a different title, it would be About Ben Franklin. I chose this title because this book is about all the great things Ben Franklin did in his life.
When I was reading, I was about the invention called the glass harmonica. I didn’t understand how it really worked. I have I have never seen an instrument before. “Different sized glass bowls were kept spinning on a cradle. The bowls rims were wet. When a person held his fingers against the wet spinning bowls, it made music. Another connection I made while reading was Ben Franklin had to wear glasses because he didn’t have good eye sight. I also need glasses, to see far away. The book said that Ben Franklin had two pairs of glasses. One pair was for reading. The second was for seeing things far away.
