    I do have to say “Uncle Marcos” could be another good choice for your thesis statement, it adds a little bit of fantasy of how flying was invented or thought of, I could see someone watching like the Wright brothers seeing this man on a contraption in the air and thought about making one. Although “Uncle Marcos” is another good point of view it is not as realistic as it seems or says, this is why I choose “To Fly” as a better example for why humans have such a desire to fly. In conclusion I would support “To Fly” as the best choice and nothing else some others might say the same or different but I supported my reasons with textual…
