Amelia Earhart
Amelia Mary Earhart had the courage and independence to do anything she wanted to do. This includes crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a plane and sharing her visions for aviation and women. She inspired many, formed the first women aviator’s association, and she tried to fly around the world. That is why I think that Amelia Earhart has made a difference. And as I have said, Amelia Earhart has certainly affected many people.
Amelia Earhart inspired many women to follow their ambitions and dreams. She is still a symbol of the power and perseverance of American women. When she first saw an airplane, she wasn’t very interested, but as soon as she left the ground at a stunt-flying exhibition, she knew that she had to fly. Six months after her first lesson, she bought a second hand biplane painted bright yellow, and named it Canary. She used this plane to later set the first women’s record of rising to an altitude of 14,000 feet. On June 17, 1928, she was asked, along with Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon, to “fly the Atlantic”. She was so thrilled that, later, she formed the first women aviator’s association.
The second reason that I think that Amelia Earhart made a difference is because she formed the first women aviator’s association called the Ninety-Nines, Inc. The Ninety-Nines is an International Organization of Licensed Women Pilots from 35 countries. Also, the membership was open to all women with a pilot’s license, and the organization’s purpose would be...
courageous and passionate drive led her to become recognized as one of the most influential
July 24, 1897, a belligerent war against the norm of society is interrupted by the birth of one Amelia Earhart. From the time of her birth in Atchison, Kansas, to her disappearance in the Pacific Ocean at the age of 39, Amelia Earhart was venerated as a beacon of hope for women aviators around the world. She is recognized as the first woman aviator to set multiple records and some acclaim that Amelia Earhart is “perhaps the most effective activist of her time.” Acting upon a simple yearn for flight, Amelia Earhart managed to alter the public view on women as workers as a whole, and provided a hero during the ubiquitous devastation caused by the Great Depression.
Many women would not take on this job because most women were set to be stay at home moms and start a family. Amelia always knew she did not want to be a stay at home mom, she wanted to make a difference, she always told people “If you want a certain job, try it! If you find that you're the first woman to fuel an urge in that direction, what does it matter? Fuel it and act on it just the same.” This tells a lot of people that she wanted to show us that woman can do the same work that men can. While she was working as a nurses aid a lot of the men that came in were injured from an aircraft, she became interested in aircraft and signed up for an automobile engine mechanics to learn
Amelia Earhart and Louis Armstrong are one of the two most influential heros from the nineteen-twenties. In the nineteen-twenties, during the great depression, where basically all hope was lost about a basic daily life was gone, but these two individuals in specific, made hope come back and revive the people who suffered through the depression. This allowed everyone to see them as an “influential god” that lifted everyone’s spirits. As you can see, Earhart and Armstrong were two very great people who allowed the mind to think creatively through motivation to do the impossible.
...women, Jews, and Negroes were just some of the many things she believed in and worked for. With more equality between the different kinds of people, there can be more peace and happiness in the world without all the discrimination. Her accomplishments brought about increased unity in people, which was what she did to benefit mankind. All of her experiences and determination motivated her to do what she did, and it was a gift to humanity.
...ieved much in her short life, including having won a Grammy. Although her life was cut short at the age thirty nine, that did not stop her legacy. She helped to pave a path for all African Americans in the future. For example, Diana Ross; she grew up in the housing projects and found her voice also in church. She eventually got signed to a record deal and was at one point declared the most successful female singer of all time. Being a big hit also brought in much money for Washington. Some of this money helped to financially support Martin Luther King Jr. in his fight for Civil Rights for all African Americans. Therefore, since Dinah Washington overcame the prejudice and became a huge success, she showed all that whatever a white could do, an African American could also do. She showed that no matter what race, with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.
People still remember Bessie Coleman today for her bravery, courage, and her leadership. Bessie showed these outstanding traits she had, by not always thinking of herself. She did not go with the flow as we say it in the year 2014. She did what she believed was right. She stood up and told the person who was in charge to let the colored or Native Americans watch her perform. That is why Bessie Coleman is important in the world.
This hero overcame something that no one at the time thought would ever be overcame. This hero is Harriet Tubman. No one since Harriet has devoted their whole life to one thing and overcoming it and making a huge difference, which was slavery. From being a toddler to the day of her death she devoted all of it to making a difference in slavery, and she sure did make quite a difference. From being a slave herself to freeing over one thousand slaves Harriet Tubman is a true hero.
In the 1940’s World War II was the most widespread war in history. After Pearl Harbor was attacked the United States quickly became involved. Women pilots were utilized for the first time by the government. The Women AirForce Service Pilots (WASP) program freed up male pilots for combat service. The WASP’s exchanged knowledge and service for the U.S. While the program was active the 1,830 women who got accepted were given the opportunity to explore military aviation.
...rhart’s life was never answered. It satisfies some, to convince themselves a certain story or theory is true. Clues have been found, but many pieces of the puzzle are still lost. The death of Amelia Earhart, has continued to bring up women’s accomplishments, which is why many decide to abandon the questions, and leave Amelia wherever she is. Instead of focusing on the one event that brought her life down, people can remember her for all the records she set, the people she helped, and the events that made her life so distinct in the eyes of Americans. Walter J. Boyne, a retired United States Air Force officer, once said, “Amelia Earhart came perhaps before her time,…the smiling, confident, capable, yet compassionate human being, is one of which we can all be proud.” Earhart and her adventurous life will never be forgotten, and instead will be honored and remembered.
Anne Hutchinson challenged the traditional role of women in the Puritan society through her opposing religious beliefs. Anne Hutchinson was most likely not the first woman to have her own thoughts. She was simply the first to act on them. Anne Hutchinson was born on or about July17, 1591 in Alford, Licolnshire, England. She was the daughter of Reverend Francis Marbury. Rev. Marbury spoke out that many of the ordained ministers in the Church of England were unfit to guide people's souls. For this act of defiance, he was put in jail for one year. Anne read many of her father's books on theology and religion. Much of Anne's independence and willingness to speak out was due to her father's example. Anne admired her father for his defiance of traditional church principles. Then in 1612 she married William Hutchinson. Together they had 15 children. In 1634 she and her husband moved to Boston. Here Anne began holding informal church meetings in her home discussing the pastor's services and also preaching her beliefs to her followers. Threatened by meetings she held in her Boston home, the clergy charged Hutchinson with hersey. An outspoken female in a male hierarchy, Hutchinson had little hope that many would speak in her defense, and she was being tried by the General Court. In 1636 she was charged with hersey and banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony. Several years later when she moved to New York she was killed in an Indian attack. Anne challenged the Puritan clergy.
Martha Washington lived a life full of love and sacrifice. She was born as a simple little girl Martha Dandridge to her plantation home in New Kent; she was married at 18 to become Martha Dandridge Custis. Still yet she was widowed at the age of twenty-six with two children and a land of over 17,000 acres to run on her own. Then she met a gentleman by the name of George Washington and Martha became the figure we know today as Martha Dandridge Custis Washington or Martha Washington.
Clara Barton changed the world. She caused a ripple. She matters. Without her, it’s hard to say where the world would be, but it would seem a little dimmer without the presence of this astounding woman to remind people of their humanity and their humility, and the power that every person has the capability of holding in their hands.
Finding out about my grandmothers death was the saddest moment in my life . I didn't understand . I didn't expect it to happen , not to me . I wondered why god had taken an important person away from my life , ad for that i felt confused and miserable . I cried for hours that day . Nothing could have brought me joy that day but the presence of my grandmother , but she was gone and i found it hard to overcome the situation.
Without the close insight to the American’s true feelings and thoughts, the disconnect between the American and Jig is more prominent. Hemingway utilizes the word “look” at an attempt to bring readers into the true feelings of the characters, but each “look” is seemingly meaningless without the words and thoughts meant behind it. The American’s words are the only insight to his feelings on the situation him and Jig are in. He truly seems to believe an abortion is no big deal when he declares “it’s really an awfully simple operation Jig, it’s not really an operation at all…I wouldn’t have you do it if you didn’t want to. But I know it’s perfectly simple” (116). His outward total lack of concern for Jig in regards to the operation further shows how much a difference in point of views changes how readers’ interpretation of love exists between two very similar
