Ben and Ralph

Ralph Waldo Emerson and Benjamin Franklin are two very different men. First of all Benjamin Franklin was a very intelligent man. He was a scientific man. He followed what he knew and studied what he did not now. He also invented a lot of cool and nifty things. First of all, he invented electricity. This would later become a world wide invention that effects people all over the world. This is because every place all over the world uses electricity. I like power. Power is a very powerful thing. If Benjamin Franklin did not capture the lighting bolt we would not have the power and electricity we use and love today. If he was not interested in this new and unknown objects which is lighting we would not have it and it is vital to our lives today. He was always curious on the things that were not known and he was always looking for ways to find new things. He also invented the bifocals. Bifocals are important to society. I do not have need for them at this time but I am sure that when I get over I will use them. I hope that I will not need them because I make fun of my parents who wear them, but I know I will use them. Emerson was not like this at all. He let things go with how they come. He did not believe in mourning. He did not believe in this because he knows that he will see the soul again and he should not be sad against them. They are alike because they believe in new things. Emerson created a new level of romanticism by following it to the extreme and allowing things to happen for a reason. Franklin did not follow this theory just like this, but he talked and invented things that he knew could exist. Franklin believed that things were possible through inventing things and Emerson believed that he could do anything.
