She wouldn't have been able to be so successful if it weren't for her family that raised her. Grandma Otis Grandma Otis When Amelia was just three years old, she was sent off to live with her grandmother in Atchinson, Kansas. Her parents thought it was a good idea since her grandma needed company and Amy Earhart had to worry about another child at home. In 1908, her father got a better job and Amelia had to leave her grandmather to move to Des Moines, Iowa. Unfortunately, Amelia and her family never got to see Grandma Otis again because she passed away in February 1912. Strict Rules Grandma Otis was a very traditional woman and was very insistent with having ladylike behavior. She didn't except dirty clothes or poor table manners. If Amelia wanted to get messy in the backyard, her grandmother would make a big fuss out of it. Strict Rules Pictures Daddy's "Sickness" Daddy's "Sickness" The good thing about moving to Des Moines is that Edwin got paid a lot of money. The Earhart's hired a cook and a maid and loved to visit the symphony. Then one day, Edwin came home from the bar with some other employees after a long day at work. It started happening more and more and soon, the whole town heard about his drinking problem. This shaped Amelia's childhood forever. Amelia's Career As Amelia grew older, she attended schools and worked at different places till she discovered what she wanted to do for a living Amelia's Career From first grade to 6th grade, Amelia went to the Atchinson College Prepatory School.

Schooling Schooling Amelia's first job was when she was 16 and she worked at a grocery store three miles away. Every single day she would walk there and back because she wanted to save every penny she could. After dropping out of she lived in Toronto with her sister, Muriel, and volunteered as a nurse's aid during World War I. When she lived in California, Amelia worked at a telaphone company to pay for her flight lessons. Then she worked at the Denison House which helped with immigrants. Work Work Amelia in the Air The Last of Amelia One day a guy called Amelia on the phone and changed her life forever. She was offered to be the first woman to fly across the Altlantic Ocean. She set off on June 3rd 1928 and successfully made it across. Soon everyone knew who she was because of her famous autobiography, Our Flight in the Friendship. She started breaking records left and right until one day she started to plan her around-the-world flight. Her first step had to be who she was going to take with her. Fred Noonan was recomended to her so she offered him the job. On May 21st, 1937, she was finally ready to take off. In the beginning it was pretty easygoing and they touched many countries along the way. Many times they encountered fog and rain when they were flying through Africa which was extremely dangerous. Before they knew it, Fred and Amelia were headed towards Howland Island, a very tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. While people were down on the ground of the island, Amelia was way up high and all she had a radio with very poor connections. Unfortunately this wasn't enough to find Itasca and Amelia and Fred have since been lost at sea! The Last Flight The Last Flight The Impact it had on America The Impact It had on America Amelia Earhart was a very brave women who is still important to Women's History today.

She convinced girls all across the country to become fearless and perservere in their hopes and dreams.

Transcript: Samantha Zastenik 05.05 English 20th Century Two Poems "FOG" by Carl Sandburg. "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost. Poems FOG "FOG" by Carl Sandburg The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost Mending Wall Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them there. I let my neighbor know beyond the hill; And on a day we meet to walk the line And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance: ‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’ We wear our fingers rough with handling them. Oh, just another kind of out-door game, One on a side. It comes to little more: There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’ Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: ‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offense. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him, But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather He said it for himself. I see him there Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed. He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. He will not go behind his father's saying, And he likes having thought of it so well He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’ Influences :"FOG" This poem was written during Imagist Movement. The author uses the images of a cat and the fog. Both the fog and the cat have the same characteristics. They move swiftly and quietly with out warning. During WW1 the United States was growing and moving forward with weapons and technology. Moving silently and unexpectedly like the fog and the cat. Influences "FOG" This poem is about a wall separating two neighbors and their homes. Guay made an impression on Frost while they were both fixing the wall. He liked to say the phrase, "Good fences make good neighbors." Fences between neighbors does not always mean there is hostility and separation. There was war going on in the 20th Century and there was a lot of hatred between countries. The wall can also represent the separation of countries at the start of the war. Influences "Mending Wall" Influences :"Mending Wall"

Transcript: 20th Century Poetry Presentation Presented by PERSON for COMPANY By: Robert Frost This poem was written in 1922, shortly after the second industrial revolution and 4 years after World War 1. Automobiles were becoming more available to households. In 1924 Robert Frost won a Pulitzer Prize for his collection of poetry, "New Hampshire" containing this poem. 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening' By: Robert Frost "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" SUBTOPIC 1 Juxtaposition This poem is a good representation of juxtaposition of events in the early 20th century. The rider is placed in the country not the city. He has a horse not a car. And even though any man in this time frame would think that this represents a slower lifestyle, the narrarator is still seduced by the quiet, "the only other sound's the sweep of easy wind and downy flake." Even his horse, "must think it queer to stop without a farmhouse near." The fact that this was a poem in a collection that won the Pulitzer Prize is evidence that many people were looking for a quieter time also. SUBTOPIC 2 "languages" By: Carl Sandburg By:; Carl Sandburg "languages" Carl Sandburg was born to immigrant parents from Sweden in 1878. Between 1880 and 1920 more than 25 million immigrants came to America. Most immigrants came through Ellis Island located at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Bay. Sandburg's hometown of Chicago became home for Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks, Greeks, and Italians, and Jews from throughout eastern Europe. This poem uses metaphor and imagry to "paint a picture" of the curtural impact of immigrantion on Carl and his neighbors. Imagism "There are no handles upon a language", unlike the handle on your suitcase. Language is personified as "Breaking a new course ", "Changing its way to the ocean."," Moving to valleys ", "And from nation to nation", "Crossing borders and mixing." "Your song dies and changes and is not here to-morrow ", reflecting how slowly the language is lost as assmilation into their new home evloves. This poem represents to me the effects Carl must have witnessed as his parents and neighbors became "Americans" during the World War 1 era.
