This paper is an
in-depth reading of the second section of the memoir, containing only

around discourse of conversation. The paper is divided into three
sections: Section I is the introduction of the author, his work and the
objective of this paper; Section II of this paper discusses the public
image of Franklin during his diplomatic mission to France; Section III
focuses on Franklin’s effort to create his identity in his memoir
through a discourse of conversation.
