Amelia Earhart /My Research Paper

Amelia Earhart; the most famous pilot and the braviest I have ever heard of. At first I was not interested in her for my project,

in fact I was going to do Besty Ross discussing the flag. But my American History teacher introduced my partner and I to her by

asking us were we ready interested in Besty Ross. We said no but we have to do the project; so he told us about Amelia. He

explained how there were a lot of theories on her death but there was not a real reason. My partner and I found that very

exicting and there was a great amount of information to argue with; we decided to do our project on her.

In our findings we discovered that Amelia was not alone in her travels across the South Pacific Ocean there was acually a

male companion. Until this day researcher can not find out how they went missing and never came back. She was also known

as the first person to fly over the a Atlantic Ocean by herself and lived to tell the story after that journey. Amelia loved to fly

her plane and others, there was no doubt that she was a nature born pilot even as a woman.

Earhart fits perfectly for "Individuals in History: Actions and Legacies". She took action in her talent on flying planes and

jets, but even though she went missing I know she still lived her life to the fullest by fulfilling her dream. It is our job to try

and figure out what exactly happened to her. She is a great inspiration to our country because she knew what her nature talent

was and she went for it. Amelia started and broke records of all kinds and to her it was like surviving in the wild.

There has been many theories on how Amelia Earhart disappeared. The first one is the plane ran out of gasoline and

broke down over the Pacific Ocean. Another one was she was spying on the Japanese and they captured her once the plane

broke down. These two theories are the main ideas on what happened to her when she disappeared. My partner and I plan on

finding out the most reasonable reason for her disappearance.

What my partner and I are going to find out which theory sounds more realistic or which the U.S was going through at the time to see if it links back or has something to do with Amelia's disappearance.

My Journey into researching Amelia Earhart...

I choose Amelia Earhart, the first female pilot to travel across the Atlantic Ocean. At first My partner and I choose Besty Ross regarding the American Flag. Once we began to do research we notice this subject did not catch our attention. One day during research we ran across Amelia Earhart, at first we did not want to start all over again with the paper work and the researching; but when we heard she was traveling over the Atlantic Ocean one day and disappeared... we just had to research her for our National History Day project. Knowing that Amelia Earhart had disappeared and no one knew where she was at set off my imagination for finding out the closest and reasonable answer to why and how she disappeared.That is why I choose to work on Amelia Earhart for my National History Day project.
