Amelia: Before The Death Flight; by Jackie

 I can’t wait! Tomorrow my friend navigator Fred Noonan and I fly around the whole world! As excited as I am I’m a little nervous. By nervous I mean scared what if Fred or I get hurt or worse what if we die!  Actually I change my mind because getting hurt isn’t so bad and if I die at least I die with with a friend.

 Anyway I already know what to wear. I’m going to wear a long warm coat, gloves, boots, and a pilot hat. The reason I’m dressing so warm is because it’s cold in the air trust me. I think I should go I need some sleep for the big day.  

 Last night I dreamt of when I was a little girl. And the first time I saw a airplane. I was eleven years old. My family and I had gone to a fair. At the fair my family and I saw a plane above our heads flying and doing tricks. It was an amazing sight because back when I was a little girl seeing a plane was very rare for most people it was an once in a live time opportunity.  

 I can remember that day like it was yesterday. And guess what today I Amelia Earhart and my Friend Fred Noonan will fly around the world. In a plane of course! I should go I think I hear my husband George is calling me. 

 From Amelia

Author’s Note

The story you just read is about Amelia Earhart if you didn’t notice. Amelia was born on July 24Th 1897 in Atchison Kansas. In Amelia’s time girls were not supposed play sports or get dirty. In fact all girls were supposed to do was to wear dresses, sit neat, and act like perfect little laddies. Even if they didn’t want to usually there parents would force them too. But Amelia’s parents Amy and Edwin Earhart believed in the exact opposite they belived that girls and boy should be treated equally and they were right. Ameila and her youger sister Muriel spent most of there time playing sports. On Ameila’s eleventh birthday Amelia and her family celebrated by going to a fair. And at that fair they saw a plane doing tricks above there heads. Amelia was amazed because it was the first time she saw a plane. Also seeing a plane was a rare sight back then.
