1. Founding father, statesman, doctor, lawyer, writer, orator, actor, invented light bulb, key, kite, lightning, electricity, television, telephone, $100 bill and stamps.
2. I don't much care about the points. They're kind of useless. Benjamin Franklin was an inventor, scientist, and stateman. He did a lot of experimentation with electricity. Many of the terms we use to this day were coined by him. He invented: bifocal glasses, the lightning rod, the Franklin stove, and a musical instrument called a glass harmonica. He started the first lending library in America. He was important in the American revolution, serving as a delegate at the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention. He traveled to France and England several tmes and served as Ambassador to France. Edit: John--actor, telephone, television? Are you just trying to give the kid bogus info as punishment for getting homework answers on YA?
