Edwards and Franklin both had different writing styles in their works and some similar ones. They both wanted what was best for them and their fellow man. The one difference was that Edward related all of his writings to the Bible and it seemed like you were reading it.

During a time where people lived and operated strictly within a paradigm established in society‚ Benjamin Franklin existed harmoniously (and quite successfully) outside the box. In today’s world‚ I feel as though there are hundreds of “Ben Franklins” that live among us; people who come from modest backgrounds yet emerge as trailblazers of their time. Although Franklin was well-versed in many areas of study‚ I admire him the most as a man of the early American Enlightenment. Why? I believe that
