Thomas+Alva+Edison

Eric litalien 86 12/16/09 There are many differences and similarities between me and the person I chose to do a report on. Thomas and I liked to invent things and watch other people do things so we can figure a better way to do it. We also liked to fix problems. The things that I and Thomas Alva Edison have in common are that we both liked to solve problems as a child. I remember when I was little I fixed a broken watch in kindergarten. Thomas Edison also liked to solve problems like that too. We also liked to invent things the same way. I used to watch my brother build forts out of blankets and I learned how to make good ones that don’t fall down. I also used to watch him build things out of legos and I learned how to make different things and I invented a spaceship that u attached to a string and it would fly. We also have some differences like he had hearing problems and still tried to master the art of receiving news reports using a telegraph. I have never done something so hard in my life. He also saved a telegraph operator from a rail road train. Over all me and Thomas Edison have many differences and similarities and we are really not that alike but he is a very interesting person to do a report on.
