    Air travel is nowhere near comfortable. A message from Dr. Florence Thomson written in response to an article published in The British Medical Journal in 1953 was, “most passengers are quite unable to rest in comfort in the position allowed, and sleep is quite impossible except in very short snatches” (996). In 2016, nothing changed for the better in this regard; CNN recently published an article about the disruptive passengers in flights and incidents of air rage in airplanes (McKirdy). What did change significantly is what comes before boarding the airplane. It has been 15 years since that horrifying day in September 2001.…

    After reading both of the stories “Uncle Marcos” and “To Fly” and looking through them, going through the details I have in my own opinion that “To Fly” has the best information and description rather than a more fictional story. I see in the story in the text that it describes flying as it has transformed the way we do things differently such as exploration, our perspective on things in the world, and we always had flying set as an achievement. I have a few reasons as to how I think “To Fly” has a better understanding of how it innovated humans and our actions. Before I do get to tell you bout my reasons I will tell you about what “Uncle Marcos” and “To Fly” are about, “Uncle Marcos’ is a story about a crazy, interesting, sporadic, and…

On page 184, Gladwell says, “The kinds of errors that cause plane crashes are invariably errors of teamwork and communication.” This philosophy applies not only to plane crashes, but also to school projects, or relationships, or even something as small as playing a board game with a group of friends. In situations where people are expected to work together and they don’t tend to lead to disaster because the situation is formulated for people to work together.…

The benefits of living in a larger suburb are that the high schools can really help you prepare for the transition to college level classes. I did not take the help the school gave out into consideration when going to classes.
