Amelia Earhart As a child, Amelia Earhart was not as interested in aircraft as people would think. Amelia thought it was “boring." (ameliaearhatmuseum.com 2014) Amelia was known for playing with the boys. She even climbed trees with her sister. She was the ultimate tomboy. As she grew older, Amelia started to become interested in the art of aviation. Once she started to take this new part-time career, she realized this is what she wanted to do as a full-time, hands on, job. Earhart purchased her
over and Amelia complained that she was just extra weight and wanted to do it alone. Hours later, the plane was in Burry Point, Wales, in the U.K. A ticker-tape parade was held at New York for their landing. She also had an interview and met George P. Putnam who was a person who published writings. They also had a meeting with President Calvin Coolidge. Amelia became president of the Ninety-Nines, a group of aviator women, in 1930 (“Amelia Earhart
closest to the town, and the families who wanted to leave lived further away. The families and people who wished to leave were typically farmers, and lived about eight miles from Salem Town. One of the largest families of farmers was the Putnams. The Putnams were thought of highly in the village, because they owned the most farmland. Since they wanted to separate from the town, they decided to establish their own church in 1689. Rev. Parris was the preacher at the church, and his salary was paid
electorate is voting less than they did in previous generations (Putnam 2000). I question whether this is the beginning of a massive breakdown in American politics or simply a flux in the activity of the people. In sorting through much of the research on political opinions and voting very little is clear. Theorist and researchers differ on what is the major factor in the decline of voting in America. An influential idea provided by Robert Putnam was the increase in television watching and its effect
As soon as Amelia Earhart took her first flight in 1920, she knew that she was destined to fly. From the instant she left the ground, she decided that the sky was intended for her (“Embassy” par 5). Amelia’s aviation career has made her one of the utmost recognizable woman aviators of all time. Due to her numerous aviation accomplishments, Amelia was often associated with the prodigious Charles Lindbergh; therefore, giving her the nickname Lady Lindy (“Amelia Earhart Biography” par 1). Amelia Earhart’s
Betty Parris, and niece, Abigail Williams, began behaving strangely, including screaming, throwing things, making strange noises, and putting themselves into weird positions. A doctor suggested that the girls had been afflicted with witchcraft. Ann Putnam also had similar symptoms. Three women were accused of hurting these girls: Sarah Osborne, Sarah Good, and Tituba, the Parris’ Barbadian slave. The ladies were questioned, with trials starting on March 1, 1692. Good and Osborne claimed to be innocent
Amelia Earhart: The Island Life She took her first plane ride in 1920; her first flying lesson in 1921 and bought her first plane in 1922. In these three years, she found her calling and her goals for what she wanted to accomplish in her life. She achieved many things, including her attempt to circumnavigate the world even though it may have not ended the way that was hoped. Although many people believe Amelia Earhart passed away in the crash connected to her flight, it can be proved that Earhart’s
so inclined to express publicly his guilt and sins, under the cover of accusations against the victims." (p. 7) Characters such as Abigail Williams and Mrs. Putnam used the witch-hunts in the way cited above, as a method of confessing their sins without being accountable for them. Others used the chaos created by it for their own benefit. Thomas Putnam made his daughter Ruth accuse both George Jacobs and Rebecca Nurse so he could buy the resulting unclaimed land after they were hung. Any character

Unlike the academic competitions seen in movies like “Mean Girls” or on trivia shows like “Jeopardy,” math competitions like The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition are more akin to taking a test, where contestants write out proofs to complex
Amelia Earhart was a feisty, young girl when she saw her first airplane. Little did she know that her small interest in planes would develop into a full-on passion. Amelia grabbed the hearts of people around the world when she became the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Other than just being an aviator, she was a pioneer and an author. Amelia is a symbol of perseverance and power to American women. Still today she is one of the world’s most celebrated and respected aviators
newfound freedom from Britain created an environment perfect for the spread of new ideas. The search for a national identity and a spirit of nonconformity had entered the hearts of many Americans, such as writers David Hume, Henry David Thoreau, George Putnam, and Frederick Henry Hedge. Led by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the progressive philosophy of Transcendentalism took shape in the 1820’s and 1830’s, and its proponents began to question the validity of religious doctrines and protested the intellectual
