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.
