Jey Ayery Dare Summary
The article written by Jacey Dare questions one of the most remarkable achievements in human history: who was the first to fly? The author exposes compelling arguments in favor of the headline of the article hereby presented. However, the content of the piece of writing does not strongly support its headline's claim.
The array of points stated by the author is not enough to prove that Gustave was able to fly before the Wright brothers.The first sign of weakness in the article is that Stella Randolf's works, which the author is using as their source, state that a steam-powered flight was made by Gustave Whitehead in 1899. The problem does not lie in the fact itself, but in the last sentence of the first paragraph where the author says that Whitehead

    Christopher Columbus and Charles Lindbergh are both monumental figures in history who share a common achievement: both crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Some say that because there were 400 years between their journeys, the two are strikingly different. However, there are similarities and differences in what each man hoped to achieve, the challenges they faced, and the skills essential to their success. Therefore, despite the differences between the two and the effect of the 400 years between their achievements, the two are similar.…

    The historical nonfiction book The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson provides a comparison between the impressive White City of the Chicago World's Fair and the horror of H.H. Holmes's murder spree. It starts off in 1890 when Chicago finds out it's going to be hosting the World's Fair of 1893. Winning the bid meant so much to Chicago because it indicated that the city would finally be able to shake off the perception that it was a hog-slaughtering, greedy and isolated city. The Fair would create a more positive global reputation for Chicago. Larson argues that it was Chicago’s pride that led its people to dream big enough to win the bid for the World’s Fair. They were motivated to outdo the Paris World’s Fair of 1889, that produced the…

    On December 17, 1903 crewmen John Daniels, Will Dough, Adam Etheridge, W.C. Binkley, and Johnny Moore, a teenager from Nags Head, would witness an event that would change the world forever. The Wright Brothers would make history in achieving the first sustained air flight. While this flight lasted only 12 seconds, it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power into the air, had flown forward without reducing speed, and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it…

    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 reason prosecutors support the need for effective defense attorneys when they are adversaries in the courtroom is because the purpose isn’t to put innocent people in jail. The purpose is to have a fair trial without any mistakes. As stated in the legal briefing (BRIEF OF JANET F. RENO, et al., AS AMICI CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONER) (p. 9), “Providing effective representation at the outset of a case will significantly reduce the amount of resources that must be expended in capital cases.” This will help save time, money, and in some cases a life.…
