    Guglielmo Marconi is to the telephone pole as the Wright Brothers are to the airplane. Both of the people noted were inventors of great items, though they hadn’t invented the ideas of their works. Off of the subject of inventions, this essay will discuss a strange subject. Are great men hard to understand? In the book “The Chosen “ by Chaim Potok, Mr. Malter makes the statement “Great men are difficult to understand” in regards to Reb Saunders. This statement could also be associated with the Wright Brothers, the creators of the first controllable airplane. Their motives for wanting to abandon their humble, and comfortable lives, to compete in a race to create the first airplane will never be completely explained. All great people, including the Wright Brothers, are hard to understand.…

    In 1908 Amelia sees an airplane for the first time, but is far from impressed. “It was a thing of rusty wire and wood and looked not at all interesting.” She said, describing her experience. It was not until a decade later, at a stunt-flying exhibition, that Amelia's passion for flight is awakened. 1911 was a very rough year for Amelia because her grandmother passed away, who she was very close to, and the situation with her father is not looking much better.…

    Can we fly? This question has been asked for centuries by hundreds of inventors and philosophers alike; some of who are discussed in the National Geographic article I read titled: If We Only Had Wings. The author of this article, Nancy Shute, writes about the trials, ideas, and achievements of inventors such as Leonardo da Vinci and the Wright brothers. However, the article is even more interesting because while describing the progression of personal aircrafts throughout history, she also depicts her flying experience while hang gliding. This article was very informative as well, with information ranging from the steps of flying a hang glider, to the science behind how humming birds are able to defy gravity. Overall I loved this article; it was short but filled with information and pictures that are able to tell stories.…

    The museum that I chose to visit for this assignment is the Palm Springs Air Museum. I visited the museum on March 22nd with a few of my friends. I had arrived at the Museum with the intent that I was going to write about one of their many aircrafts. However, it didn’t end up being so simple, for I was delighted to come across an overwhelming array of options. Surprisingly, I was most interested by the historical displays rather than the aircraft. They provided an incredible amount of information about historical aeronautical events ranging from aerial combat situations to very unique events such as “The Piggyback Flight.” In addition, they also have displays commemorating numerous historical figures and groups. One of these…

    A new cultural reform was performed by Charles Lindbergh when he made the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. In Document F “The Biggest Thing Lindbergh Has Done” this new value was set and crushed some people’s belief of things being the same as they were “nineteen hundred years ago”. With new revolutionary achievements, many dark sides were brought out. For example, on March 1, 1932, Lindbergh’s son was kidnapped and held for…

    Fight Or Flight Decisions

    • 715 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the non-perfect world we live in, we are asked to make hard decisions every day. If a man came across a disaster such as a car crash, what would he do? Would he stay and help, or would he just shield himself from any dangers and drive by? In a perfect world, it would be natural to stop and help. But this is not a perfect world, he needs to decide. “Fight Or Flight” he says to himself. And that same fight or flight decision had to be made by the Red and American Armies as well as the resistance fighters within the camps. If they fight the Nazis to free the Jews, they are risking their own lives. But if they stay isolated they do not lose a soul. And they chose to fight, even though they put their own lives in danger. That is the definition…
