the next (Nelson 108). Throughout time, great
minds have constructed their own visions of
utopia. Through the study of utopias, one finds
that these perfect societies have many flaws. For
example, most utopias tend to have an
authoritarian nature (Manuel 3). Also, another
obvious imperfection found in the majority of
utopias is that of a faulty social class system
(Thomas 94). But one must realized that the flaws
found in utopian societies serve ...

Adam Cooper started out as a fifteen-year-old boy,
but became a fifteen-year-old man. In the

Adam for everything he did. In Moses eyes his boy

that a Cooper man couldnt do. Moses was a large

rather than by religion or ideology. He was most
comfortable pursuing practical, achievable, goals.
Indeed, if Morgan is right, Franklins chief goal
was to be useful to his contemporaries. In
Franklin, Morgan has a truly great subject. A
self-educated polymath endowed with formidable
charm and genius, Franklin became the leading
