Reader's Journal #22 Autobiography 2-7-12 Abandoning

   Dear friends,

   I am abandoning Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography. It was very confusing and it kept jumping to different things. One paragraph it was his life, the next it was the publisher's clarification which didn't clarify anything. Another thing that bothered me was that when they were making the book into an eBook, they put in some wrong letters so there were random semicolons, commas, letters, and numbers.
   Starting off from where I ended in my last RJ, Benjamin Franklin got a printing job after he found out the one he wanted to do was full. The boss recommended him to another person, Keimer, who I think they became friends but the book wasn't clear. He got the job then quit later because there was a job where they wrote poems and payed more. He became friends with the governor. He said go to London, there is a printing job there that payed more.
   When he went to London, he found a job and worked there. He went who his friend who left his wife and two children. He taught kids to read and write in England. Then when Benjamin was going back to Philadelphia, I stopped there. It is page 134 of 422 (A RATIO!).
