I'm not sure. Maybe you can provide more context or check Dickens' works list to find out.
I have no knowledge of a Franklin story written by Dickens. It's possible it's a rare or lesser-known piece, but I haven't come across it. You could try researching in Dickens' complete bibliography.
Benjamin Franklin's first known story was 'The Speech of Polly Baker'. It gained some attention and marked the beginning of his literary endeavors.
The first novel written by Charles Dickens was 'The Pickwick Papers'.
The last novel written by Charles Dickens was 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood'.
Charles Dickens wrote the story of Christmas Carol with Scrooge as one of the main characters.
In the 'franklin plays the game story', Franklin is likely the main character. He could be a human being with unique traits and qualities. Maybe he is known for his competitiveness in games or his friendly nature towards other players. Without reading the story, we can't be certain about his exact identity but he is the one central to the action of playing the game.
Dickens wrote Hard Times in late 18th century England. At that time, Britain was in the development period of the industrial revolution. The social and economic changes were rapid, and the gap between the rich and the poor was widening. The social class division was serious. In addition, colonial expansion and war also aggravated the complexity and instability of British society. In this era, Dickens wrote Hard Times, a work that reflected social reality. The protagonist of the novel, Huckleberry Finn, was a humble British worker who eventually became a successful businessman through hard work and struggle. This story emphasized the importance of hard work and struggle, but also revealed the social class division and the gap between the rich and the poor. Hard Times was widely received at that time and became an important literary work that reflected social reality. It was widely spread and influenced the society and culture of the time.
Well, it could be a blend. Maybe it takes inspiration from real-life situations but is embellished or restructured for a more engaging narrative.
It depends. Some parts of Franklin might be based on real events or people, but it could also have fictional elements added for entertainment purposes.
Rosalind Franklin's sad story is that she made crucial contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA through her X - ray diffraction images, but she was not fully recognized at the time. Her data was used by Watson and Crick without her proper acknowledgement. This led to her being overshadowed in one of the most significant scientific discoveries of the 20th century.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many 'Franklin Friends' stories. It might be about the adventures and friendship of a character named Franklin and his friends, perhaps their daily life in a forest or a small town, sharing joys and sorrows together.
