Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the country that stands above all others. Before he was such a great impact on this country, he was busy with many other things. In this part of his autobiography, only the early years of his life, Benjamin Franklin talks about his goal in life, moral perfection. He wants to inform the reader, anyone interested in his life, to know his steps to try to achieve moral perfection. He wants to inform the readers, in a very descriptive, and practical tone.
In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin outlines thirteen major points to help achieve moral perfection. These points, and their importance, are something he tries emphasizing to the reader. His goal was to work on each point, one by one, eventually cutting out all things he thought were unnecessary, from his life. He did this by making a schedule, and marking everything unnecessary he did that day, to make sure it was not done the following day. After he finishes working on one virtue, he will move onto the next. This was his way, of achieving moral perfection.
