The story of Thomas Alva Edison

           4/5

This book was a great read!, The story about the phonograph, light bulb and the projector. 

he was semi-deaf. He wasnt always so smart, As a kid thomas asked alot of questions and he never went to school after age 7.  After working most of his childhood he bought a factory, Not the kind that produces things in mass quantities, His kind of factory was the kind that invented stuff, he invented as said before the Phonograph, Light bulb and the Projector, in his later years his original factory burned down but he still built a new one at 67 years of age. now tom was 84 years old. he knew he was dying and retired, news reporters didnt bother mr Edison, but Edison's wife told them that she would turn his bedroom light off when he died. In the morning of October 18, 1931, His light went out.
