Now, airplanes can transport people and goods over large bodies of water and land, and even make war easier (and harder) to win. With flight, lives have been changed, and the four forces, angle of attack, Bernoulli's Principle, and lift come to work when an airplane flies! There are four forces that…

In Native Son by Richard Wright, the most important quote of the book is the one written above because it displays the catharsis he feels after being able to free himself from his inner conflict: feeling trapped. Always working toward the desires of other people--his mom, his fellow gang members, and the Daltons--Bigger had few opportunities to feel like he was in control of situations. Bigger has felt trapped in every aspect of his life and, as twisted as it is, the murders were his way out. He…

Growing up poor, uneducated, and without a father Bigger was mad at the world. Although, he had a great mother, he still had…

Since black identity relies on the past oppression it was essential for the brief history of race relations in American religion to be addressed. In a similar manner, the biography of Jeremiah Wright defended his ethos, revealing that his preaching consisted of his own convictions and not the madness that many conservatives claimed he possessed. The authors arguments were clearly one sided, heavily critiquing of established white Christianity…

First time flyer I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I loved watching older cheerleaders do stunts, gymnastics and I also liked watching them support their team. At my elementary school, no one was allowed to play sports till you were in third grade. So after waiting five years, I finally got to try out for the cheerleading team. I expected I would be nervous and scared when I got to tryouts. That 's the complete opposite of how I felt. I was so excited to show everyone all the jumps I could…

I was zooming through the air in a plane at rapid speeds, yet I was at a point in my life where everything was at a standstill. Nothing significant was happening. I was an aspiring soccer player, but at the moment I had no team to play on. I was growing more anxious day by day, and I began to wonder what the future had in store for me after my vacation. It wouldn't take long for me to find out. I would have never thought that my vacation to Thailand in June of 2017 would change my life. It…
