across the West Coast cities, going from Boston to New York, to Philadelphia, looking for a job
as a printer of newspaper.

Who? Benjamin Franklin, travelling though the most developed cities in North America during
the 18th century.

Where? Boston, Noew York, Long Island, and finally, Philadelphia, where he found the job he
was looking for.

When? During his lifetime until the moment he wrote his autobiography, 1706 to 1790.

Why? He wanted to leave his life experiences to his future son, because he was lucky enough
to have the autobiography of their ancestors, and wanted his son to have the possibility he
had.

How? It is a narration in first person, following a coherent chronological order.

Opinion: it was a bit difficult to read, because he utilize a lot capital letters in most of the
substantives. Besides, he also uses continuous instead of the simple tenses, resulting a bit
confusing sometimes.
