The Importance Of Flying In High School

Improved Essays
Two years ago a top-secret government experiment had gone wrong and they accidently released a chemical into the atmosphere that triggered something in everyone’s body that activated a flying ability. The government stated that there are no negative side effects since they didn’t have a reversal agent. Since flying became the norm, we no longer had a use for roads, airports, or even side walks! The streets were converted into sidewalks for those who just want to hover from place to place, but streets are now non-existent.

There was no time for a last minute wardrobe change so I flew downstairs (through the hole on the floor from upstairs) and opened the door! My parents aren’t around, they went to Sunday church, but they let me stay behind. Peyton gives me a kiss right after I opened the door, it was sweet and unexpected, but he said he wanted to do it because he didn’t want to wait until the end of the date because it would be too long of a wait. He is so sweet! So we fly to the sushi place together and enjoy the rest of our date. To me, flying has made my parents more trusting, and as a person exploring his sexuality, trust is always good. Flying has given me freedom to explore my sexuality because my parents don’t have to pick me up or drop me off… I really love this gift of

    Milkman, leaving his family and community behind, goes on a mission to discover more about not only his ancestry, but also who he truly is. To start his trip he takes a plane ride, during which he discovers that “In the air, away from real life, he felt free, but on the ground, [...] the wings of all those other people’s nightmares flapped in his face and constrained him” (220).

    Historically, women have had a disadvantage compared to their male peers. Until the 1920s, women did not wear pants, nor could they vote. Society has come far since then, women can now practically do anything a man can (vote, own land, join the army, make decisions), however, they are still believed to be inferior. To state this in similar terms, look at sports. Women don’t play football, and those sport that have female leagues, do not get close to the amount of attention as similar male sports do (Basketball, Softball).…

Today at 23, she is still working to put her life back together.” After so many years I still remember the poster very well, I remember the before and after picture of Jaqueline.…
