Detailed explanation-1: -Over the course of Franklin’s impressive life, he wrote two of the greatest treasures of American literature, Poor Richard’s Almanack and his Memoirs, also called The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Franklin began his career as a writer when he was apprenticed to his brother, James Franklin, for whom he wrote his first published work: grubstreet ballads.
Detailed explanation-3: -Well, there are many reasons why Franklin could have written his Autobiography: to “recollect” and relive his life, perhaps more perfectly, as he talks about at the beginning; to provide some genealogical anecdotes for his son; to give in to his friends’ flattery that he owed society a description of his life.
