Quote: "That, Will, is the difference between us. You place no value on the efforts of one man."-Benjamin Franklin page 105
Question: Why hadn't the ideas of Franklin been changed during his long stay in London? Had his Patriotism grown because of what he had witnessed within London?
Comment:Though this is far behind from where I am currently reading within the book I have chosen this quote due to its passion driven emotion which I felt when reading this. This quote is thought out in the end of Benjamin Franklin's and Will Strahan's conversation, which discussed the events occuring in the colonies. This conversation had begun to stir the emotions of both Franklin and Will as they discovered they were on different views on the colonies as well as the British Parliament. I believe this proves as some of the evidence in which Franklin is shown as a true patriot as he defends the Americans, which includes himself.
