Amelia Earhart
The person I chose to do my paper on was Amelia Earhart. I wanted to research this person's life because I had studied a little bit about Amelia in my previous history classes and I always wondered about what happened to Amelia on her last flight. I thought Amelia was a very brave woman. She never backed down from breaking history and she did break history a few times. I think she was an independent woman who wanted to make a name for herself. After I did my research on her I found out that she was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She also was note scared to attempt the flight around the world. Unfortunately she disappeared on this flight and no one ones what happened to her. Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897. She was born in her grandparents' home in Atchison, Kansas. Amelia's grandfather, Alfred Otis, was a much respected citizen of Atchison. Her mom, Amy Earhart, had a miscarriage in her first attempt at a child so she wanted to go back and give birth to Amelia at her parent's house so if she got another miscarriage her parents could help console her. Amelia's father, Edwin Earhart, who owned a law practice in Kansas City, decided to stay in Kansas City during the birth. I f
Amelia, as well as her neighbors and friends, thought he was a drunk as well. (Earhart 1)" It took Amelia almost a decade before she grew an interest for aviation. Edwin's practice did fail, but he was lucky enough to snag "An executive job in 1905 with the Rock Island Line Railroad in Des Moines, Iowa. She also didn't have any life savers since they sent them back to America or maybe she would have been found alive. We came to depend on each other, yet it was only friendship between us, or so - at least I - thought at first. (Earhart 3) Amelia Earhart made many contributions of society. They left Amelia and Muriel with their grandparents since they were better off there. I don't see why she wouldn't use money from her endorsements to pay for her flights. Amelia was able to purchase her first plane which she named "The Canary". Instead of new uniforms and brass bands, I saw only the result of four years' desperate struggle; men without arms and legs, men who were paralyzed and men who were blind. (Earhart 1) Edwin was promoted in 1909. " (Earhart 3) Little did she know that this would be her last flight and it wouldn't be a good one. She found a woman named Anita Snook to give her lessons.
