“Flying,” by Alice Miller is a complex story about a woman named Allie, who reminisces about a time spent when her cousin Mack taught her to fly when she was just a young girl. On different occasions when Mack visited, he would show her how to do new things. As Allie grew up she found herself thinking of the secret that Mack shared with her and how he told her not to tell anyone or she may get hurt. Allie longed for the feeling of flying, if she could just reach out and talk to Mack but too much time had passed. She dreams of flying in her sleep, not for long periods of time, but just enough to embrace that feeling she had years ago. She wonders if many people have experienced flying the way that she has and if she could fly by herself without Mack. One day, Allie tries to fly on her own and succeeds, soaring higher than she did with Mack. Before Allie knew it, she was flying through the clouds and around town. Now that Allie has experienced the feeling of flying again, more than ever she wanted to share with her kids. One night after the children were asleep she wanted to share her secret with her boys but instead chose her daughter. Miller suggests that when a person is afraid of doing something on their own, sometimes it just takes a little bit of courage to step out and let go of the things that could be holding a person back.

“Flying,” by Alice Miller tells the story of woman reminiscing on the time that her cousin taught her how to fly when they were kids. It begins with the main character, Allie, flying in the air with her cousin, Mack, when she was six years old. Allie has many questions and Mack tells her that all boys can fly and instructs her to not tell anyone that she knows this secret. He also tells her not to ever try to fly without him and compares this secret to the myth about Prometheus giving the God’s fire to man and being punished for it. As the years went by, Allie wonders if she would ever fly again and even doubts if the memory was real. She becomes a wife and a mother to two sons and a daughter but still wonders if flying is possible. One night, she decides to test her memory and tries to fly out of her backyard. She slowly ascends just as she did when she was young but even higher. Over the next few days, her urge to fly again grows. One night, she sneaks into her children’s room and picks up her daughter to take her outside and show her how to fly. The story ends with Allie telling her daughter to promise not to tell the boys what she is about to experience and excitement building in Allie for her daughter. The central idea of this story is the pursuit of satisfaction never ends.

To enjoy academic success, you must consistently exhibit qualities such as perseverance, diligence, and tenacity; both in and outside of the classroom. When you are inside of a classroom, it is of utmost importance to grant your teacher your full attention. Even the most brilliant of minds find difficulty in achieving success if they do not adhere themselves to actively attempting to learn material that is covered in their classes. Contrary to popular belief, being a ‘genius’ is not required to have good grades. Anyone of average intelligence can achieve classroom success through perseverance and work ethic, although there is truth in the assumption that obtaining stellar grades may be more effortless for those with higher levels of intelligence.

Charles first contacted Wright-Bellanca Flight Corporation to try to buy a plane, but was refused, being told that they did not want to put the new plane on the line by choosing Lindbergh, a new and unproven pilot. Charles`s next target was the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker. He was unfortunately turned down as well for the same reasons, even though they suspected that he could make the flight.

He became famous for making the first solo transatlantic airplane flight in 1927. Lindbergh was born on February 4, 1902, in Detroit, Michigan.His father was Charles August Lindbergh and he was a congressman for Minnesota (“Charles Lindbergh”).

I remember staring out those psych ward windows that do not open and wondering bleakly if I would recognize myself once I started taking this handful of pink pills that was suppose to make me normal. --Ashley Y. McNamara, Writer of “Anatomy of Flight” In Virginia, a woman named Ashley Y. McNamara was held captive in a psych ward and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder or manic depression. She claims that the doctors did not help her in dealing with her mind, but actually gave “tranquilizers” (4), bad advice, and belittling comments throughout her stay. With her writing, she shows the world that the medical system is not as perfect as it seems.

Flight is a novel about a teenage Native American boy, named Zits because of his face, gets moved around from foster home to foster home, “crashing” through each one, and has closed his mind to the idea that some foster parents are trying to help him. Then, later in the book, after he shoots thirty or so people in a bank, is transported through time and different bodies, and learns how to turn his life around with the knowledge he acquires from what he sees and does in these different bodies. In one especially striking scene, Zits has traveled into the body of a young Indian boy at war. He wakes up in the middle of a large Indian camp. He then realizes that it is an old war camp, from the battle called “Custer’s Last Stand”. Zits remembers that in this battle the Indians prevailed against Custer’s cavalry. Then, as he stands in the middle of the camp, the father of the boy whose body he’s in comes over. Since Zits never had a real dad, the love this man is showing to him, even just something small, feels tremendous. Zits thinks as the man picks him up and hugs him, “As long as I’m this kid, this man is my father. And since I never knew my real Indian father, I feel like I’m going to explode. I want to hug this guy forever and forever” (64). This quote quite clearly shows that Zits needs someone to love him desperately, and that he will latch onto any small amount of affection he gets.

“The fathers may soar and the children may know their names.” This was the basis of Milkman’s discovery of his past, which he would learn about in time. In Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon, Milkman goes through the early, adolescent, and middle stages of his life with little faith in himself, for he cannot fly, nor does he know flight’s true meaning. Milkman journeys through his life being selfish and vain because he has yet to discover his true identity. As Milkman grows, the more he experiences and encounters alone and with others. Not every experience he obtains is weighted with the same significance as others, but each helps progress him through his self-discovery to find his own way of flight. As Milkman discovers the past about

Having read many pieces of literature through short stories, it is evident that each story has its own unique use of symbolism. Diverse characters in each work of literature are used to demonstrate these forms of symbolism. The boss and his inner conflict illustrate a great deal of symbolism in “The Fly” by Katherine Mansfield. The boss’s perception of the actions of the fly creates an interesting view of the comparison of his father-son, father-fly relationship. Katherine Mansfield, a famous realist, who uses concrete images, appeals to many readers because she incorporates her life into the stories she writes.

One would think that five local teens came running into the courthouse bellowing about a flying man. This news from hysterical young people would cause the deputy to realize that this story was not a hoax. Deputy Millard Halstead could tell that this was certainly not a joke, that what had happened to these young people was real and frightening. That reported that they had seen the Mothman!
