Benjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was one of the most famous American statesmen of all time. Ben Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers, and his face can be seen in paintings, commercials, statues, and many other places throughout the United States. Although to Russians he is probably most famous for being depicted (pictured) on the $100 bill, he made numerous contributions to American society, science, and government. In fact, he was nicknamed “The First American” because he was the one of the first colonists that tried to gather support for colonial unity (cooperation amongst the colonies). But what was Benjamin Franklin s childhood and upbringing like? For one thing, Benjamin Franklin was born into a large family. His father, Josiah Franklin, had 17 kids from his two marriages.

American Regions & Stereotypes When Americans talk about the United States, it is common for them to reference one of six unofficial regions. These regions are not governmental or legal regions, but instead cultural regions, formed naturally by the inhabitants of that region over time. History, geography, literature, music, and climate all played a role in the formation of these regions. The multicultural heritage of each region, as well as demographic characteristics (such as age or occupation) make each region special and distinct. Within several regions, language is used differently and there are strong dialects. There are also differences in outlook and attitude based on geography. Accordingly, there are also stereotypes of the people who live in each of the 6 American regions. Although there are several different ways that different people define the regions of the United States, the map to the left shows the most appropriate classification of regions in the opinion of the

Lady Gaga ER s first biographical topic is on Lady Gaga. Despite only being famous internationally a few years, there is already a biopic in the works on American television focusing on Lady Gaga and her quick rise to fame. Even in Russia she is very popular, and her music can be heard in many cafes along Nevsky Prospect. The singer known as Lady Gaga was born on March 28th , 1986 as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. She began singing in small clubs and pubs around 2003, but she only became really famous around 2008. At the beginning of her signing career, she used an interesting tactic in order to get her listeners attention. When she took the stage, people in the audience were not paying attention. They continued to have their conversations, eat, drink, and make noise. Lady Gaga did not like this, so in order to get their attention, she decided to take off her clothes. She would perform in a bra and underwear. This was quite a change for her,
