Amelia Earhart

Why was Amelia Earhart courageous?

     Amelia Earhart was courageous because she had the courage to stay on course.  For example, "As the plane plummeted toward the water, Amelia struggled to get control. Finally, the warmer air below the clouds melted the ice. Amelia was able to pull the plane out of its spin.".  This quote shows that even though her plane went out of control she tried to prevent it from going towards the ocean. She stayed calm because if she freaked out it wouldn't help at all. Then when the ice melted and her plane was normal she tried again and succeeded.



     Also Amelia Earhart showed courage by being patient. My article stated, "Many hours later, Amelia set the plane down in Londonderry, Ireland. She had done it. She had crossed the Atlantic Ocean in an airplane she flew herself." This quote shows that even though it took many hours to fly across the Atlantic Ocean she didn't give up. She kept flying because she wanted to prove something to others.
