 * Pictures of Thomas Edison and Phonograph:**

Thomas Edison was born 1847 in Port Huron Michigan. He had 12 weeks of formal schooling. He was hyperactive and he was really curious. When Thomas Edison was twelve he devoured all books in his local library. Thomas Edison made the phonograph so people could listen to music on the phonograph. The phonograph played music on wax cylinders. To use the phonograph there was a handle you had to move to play music on the phonograph. IT was helpful so people could learn other visual arts. Like if you were in England you could learn Spanish music and what it sounds like. He did it to spread peoples music they made. It works by using the handle and twisting it. You will hear a sound if you stop twisting it the music will stop. It gave people something to listen to.
