I Love Bacon

Bacon is a pretty cool guy.  During class, I enjoyed reading one of his quotes.  He once said, “Bacon makes a full man, conversation a ready man, and writing an exact man.”  Francis Bacon put into words what I could not and for that, I love him truly.  I got my first taste of Bacon and his thoughts by reading “The Role of the Scholar” by Samuel Johnson. The thesis of Samuel Johnson’s essay is based around Bacon’s quote on becoming a full man.  From there, the essay encompasses thoughts on reading, conversing, and writing.  I would strongly encourage everyone to read “The Role of the Scholar” so that they, too, can get a taste of Bacon and look into the fascinating thoughts of Samuel Johnson. 

Everything tastes better with bacon!
