CCSS.RL.6.1

“In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox (a virus), taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation (vaccine). This I mention for the sake of parents who omit that operation, on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it; my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen.”

~Benjamin Franklin

What is Benjamin Franklin’s author’s purpose and main idea?

• to inform readers about the benefits of vaccinating a child, including protection from small pox.

• to describe in details the death of his son due to Franklin's omission of vaccinating his child.

• to persuade other parents to have their child vaccinated to avoid experiencing the death of their child like he did.

• to convince parents that vaccinations, while preventing the death of a child, entail other risks that make them not worth it.
