Explanation:

This is the central idea of this excerpt. In this passage, we learn of Benjamin Franklin's background. We learn that Franklin was born to a candle maker and his wife, and that he was the youngest of seventeen children. This is the main idea of the passage, and it is also what leads to Franklin's subsequent life events, such as the end of his schooling, his apprenticeship, and his move to Philadelphia.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.

the answer is luis.

  someone can be considered a dynamic person by being energitic and forceful, but other aspects of being dynamic is having a lot of ideas and enthusiasm. luis his little brother with his homework, and later he teaches his younger brother how to ride a bike without training wheels, which takes a lot of patience, dedication and involvement.
