Character analysis (Early Life): FDR was born on January 30, 1882 and born into a pretty wealthy family. At a young age he could tell he was in a "privileged class" or "exclusive class." FDR did not go to public school, his mother taught him how to read and write before he was 6. Then put him to the hands of succession of governesses and tutors to teach him Latin, French, and German. Also History, geography, science, and arithmetic. At the age of 10 he became a naturalist and began collecting bird nests, eggs, feathers, and recording and observing different things. At the age of 11 his father gave him a shotgun. His parents were pretty strict though, can't do this, can't talk to them, only do this and so on. But FDR had a pretty good childhood, probably better than most at the time.
