To begin with the fact the wright brothers invented something
that can fly in the air is amazing. The fact they made the first airplane ever
is even more amazing. Thing about the first car ever made. There was no working
model to work off of. It is an amazing skill to be innovative but to be an
inventor is something else. I admire people who can make something out of
nothing. I admire that neither of them went to college and still did more with
their life than some doctors will today. Many people think that college is what
makes you successful but it is truly hard work and passion. If you have passion
and hard work at the end of the day you will eventually get somewhere. What I
admire least about the audience that they sometimes are not given credit for
having the first flying plane. Do to a catapult sending them into the air some
people argue that it does not count as flying. Some argue that a man in Brazil
actually flew the first plane in 1906. The brothers on the other hand refused
to give their plane to the Smithsonian for many years. These entrepreneurs
started a whole way of life. Without planes people would take a lot longer to
get anywhere. There would also be so many less jobs no flight attendants, plane
directors, or even pilots. What confused me is how these brothers knew so much
and never went to college. School and education has changed so much and when I
graduated two springs ago I know I would not have been able to build my own
plane that could fly. If I could ask the Wright brothers two questions one
would be why did they not build a seat for the plane? Did it mess with flying in the air or
did they not take the time to build one? Another question I would ask is how
were they not scared to crash the first time. At the end of the day Orville’s
life was on the line but he still took the risk. I feel the Wright brothers
only know what hard work was. There was no going back in time for them, they
wanted to make history. It shows you that hard work pays off. Since the brothers
we know have fighting jets, Rocket ships, planes to carry passengers, ect. Overall
the Wright brothers have convinced me yet again to get out there and invent
something that could change the world forever.
Hey there Daryl, really really nice job with this blog post. I did not know that much about the Wright brothers prior to reading your blog post, so thank you very much for informing me. I agree that it is super cool and amazing that they were able to create the first plane without a model to base it off of. Very innovative!
ReplyDeleteDaryl,
ReplyDeleteThe Wright brothers are iconic and they are probably some of the best known inventors of our elementary history classes. As you said they changed the way that we travel forever and without the leap of faith they took with their work, there would be so many places that are still undiscovered and under traveled. We always need those who are ready to take on the challenge of changing the world!
