Answer:

In his autobiography, "The Autobiography Of Benjamin Franklin", Benjamin Franklin, has placed emphasis on "Self-reliance."

Explanation:

In Frank Woodworth Pine's word written in introduction of the autobiography Franklin is the greatest example of "self-made men",

<em>"most remarkable of all the remarkable histories of our self-made men" with Franklin as the greatest exemplar of the "self-made man".</em>

Because of the inability of Franklin's family to provide a good education t Benjamin, he relied on himself and provided himself with the knowledge by reading. In his autobiography, he writes of an instance where he wrote an anonymous paper just by improving his writing skills by reading Spectator by Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele, he then slips this piece of paper under the door of a printing house of his brother, James Franklin. And the paper was published. Encouraged by this, Franklin wrote many more anonymous essays. After revealing the authorship of these essays to his brother, James chides away Benjamin. Tired of working under his brother, Ben, when he was seventeen-years-old escapes with the determination to provide a better life for himself. He had no one to be depend upon in his life. Despite all these odds, Franklin, plied himself with a better life.

In his autobiography, Franklin has emphasized on self-reliance to show that one can live a better life without being dependent on others for the living, the condition provided is that one should be determined to do so despite the adversaries faced.

Yes, I consider "self-reliance" an important part in today's world also. "Self-Reliance" is a date-less quality.

What are some similarities and differences in "To Build A Fire" and "Stickeen"? Need two or more examples of each.
malfutka [58]

1. Compare and contrast are words that are often used to talk about the similarities and differences between two things or objects.

2. Apart from the difference in their meaning, one struggles to find any differences between the two.

3. According to various dictionaries, compare means ‘to represent things or objects in respect of similarity’ and contrast means ‘to represent things in respect of differences.’

4. If a person is looking at the similarities between two objects or things, then he may be comparing the two. On the other hand, if a person is looking at the dissimilarity between two things or objects, then he may be contrasting the two.

5. Where compare emphasises the similar qualities, contrast emphasises the differences.

6. The word compare has been derived from the Latin word ‘comparare’, which means ‘to liken or to compare.’ The word contrast has been derived from the Latin word ‘contra’ and ‘stare’, which means ‘against’ and ‘to stand.’
