Amelia Earhart: Pioneer
Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 in a small Kansas town. That was six years before the Wright brothers took their famous first airplane flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Over the next two decades, aviation developed rapidly, but the pilots at the controls were mainly men. Amelia Earhart broke through that barrier to become a famous aviator, and she paved the way for women who followed.
Amelia Takes Off
Amelia took her first flying lesson in 1921. At the end of the year, she received her pilot’s license. She took odd jobs and received financial help from her mother to buy her own airplane. With a plane of her own, Amelia quickly began making a name for herself in the aviation world. In October 1922, she broke a world record for female pilots by flying her plane to 14,000 feet in altitude. In 1923, she received her International Pilot’s License—just the sixteenth woman in the world to do so. Unfortunately, Amelia had to sell her plane to give her mother money, and for a while, her love of aviation became more of a hobby.
But this all changed in 1928 when Amelia was contacted by publisher George Putnam, who she later married. He invited her to be a passenger on a cross-Atlantic flight. Amelia would have preferred to be the pilot, not the passenger, but at the time, flying a plane over an ocean was considered too dangerous for women.
The flight was successful, and Amelia became world-famous as the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. However, Amelia was not satisfied. She did not get to operate the controls during the flight and thought of herself as being no more important to the flight’s success than “a sack of potatoes.” She was determined to fly on her own.
Amelia Reaches Stardom
In 1929, Amelia became involved with an organization called the Ninety-Nines, a group that promoted female pilots in the aviation industry. She was the group’s first president. In May of 1932, Amelia crossed the Atlantic again, but this time she was at the controls. She made the trip from Canada to Ireland in 15 hours. She received many medals and awards for her achievement.
Amelia hoped her success would open doors for women in aviation and in other fields, so she continued flying and setting records. She became the first person to fly across both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans when she flew from Hawaii to California.
An Extraordinary Mission
Even after proving she was a world-class aviator, Amelia still wanted more. In 1937, she set off on an amazing trip: flying around the world. Amelia started in California but faced trouble along the way. She became ill, her plane needed repairs, and bad weather forced a change in the flight route. She made it to one of her planned stops near Australia, but she never made it to her next destination. People all over the world were following the news of Amelia’s trip—and now she was missing! President Franklin D. Roosevelt conducted a $4 million rescue mission, but Amelia was never found.
Amelia hoped that her actions would inspire other women to follow their dreams. One of her lifelong missions was for the world to recognize that women could have the same careers as men. Even though she died at a young age, just 40 years old, Amelia was an inspiration to many.

NO PLAGIARISM
CORRECT PUNCTUATION
CORRECT SPELLING
TRY TO MAKE WRITING SOUND PROFESSIONAL
BRAINLIEST
Answer:
Explanation:
Many people in Texas suffered because of the low temperature last week. It even went down to from -23 to - 30 degrees. Texas' weather varies widely, from arid in the west to humid in the east. The huge expanse of Texas encompasses several regions with distinctly different climates: Northern Plains, Trans-Pecos Region, Texas Hill Country, Piney Woods, and South Texas. Generally speaking, the part of Texas that lies to the east of Interstate 35 is subtropical, while the portion that lies to the west of Interstate 35 is arid desert.
Texas ranks first in tornado occurrence with an average of 139 per year. Tropical cyclones can affect the state, either from the Gulf of Mexico or from an overland trajectory originating in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Those originating from the Gulf of Mexico are more likely to strike the upper Texas coast than elsewhere. Significant floods have occurred across the state throughout history, both from tropical cyclones and from stalled weather fronts.
The Northern Plains' climate is semi-arid and is prone to drought, annually receiving between 16 and 32 inches (810 mm) of precipitation, and average annual snowfall ranging between 15 and 30 inches, with the greatest snowfall amounts occurring in the Texas panhandle and areas near the border with New Mexico. During the summer, this area of state sees the most clear days.[2] Winter nights commonly see temperatures fall below the freezing mark, or 32 °F (0 °C). The wettest months of the year are April and May.[3] Tornadoes, caused by the convergence of westerly and southerly prevailing winds during the late spring, are common, making the region part of Tornado Alley.[4] Poor land management, drought, and high wind speeds can cause large dust storms, minimized in modern times by improved land-management practices, but most troublesome in the 1930s during the Dust Bowl period.[5] The panhandle region, farthest from the Gulf of Mexico, experiences colder winters than the other regions of Texas, where occasional wintertime Arctic blasts can cause temperatures to plunge to well below freezing and bring snowy conditions.[6]
The Trans-Pecos region, also known as Big Bend Country, is in the west-central and western parts of the state, consisting of the Chihuahuan Desert and isolated mountain ranges. During fall, winter, and spring, it experiences the most clear days statewide.[2] It is also the driest receiving an average annual rainfall of only 16 inches (410 mm) or less. Snowfall is rare at lower elevations, although the highest mountain peaks are prone to heavy snowfalls during winter. The arid climate is the main reason for desertification of the land, but overgrazing is slowly widening the land area of that desert. In the mountain areas one can see coniferous forests in a wetter and more temperate environment. The wettest months in this region occur during the summer.[3] Winds are strengthened as they are forced to push through canyons and valleys. In the flatter areas these winds are harvested into usable electricity.
The Texas Hill Country, or central Texas is shaped by its many rivers and hills. The climate is semi-arid west of Brady through Junction to Rocksprings, but it is sub-humid east and south of that area; both areas have hot summers and mild winters with occasional cold spells. Humidity is high during the warm season, though afternoons especially further northwest can see a wind shift and drier air before Gulf air returns after sunset. The vegetation is both broadleaf evergreen and deciduous in the river valleys, and coniferous where there is greater elevation. Dry savannas, open woodlands, and shorter grasses dominate the northwest, while closed woodlands and moist savannas mix with taller grasses in the east and south. In a single year the region can receive up to 48 inches (1,200 mm) of precipitation, and flooding is common near rivers and in low-lying areas, while drier years might receive only 12 inches (300 mm) of precipitation; average annual precipitation ranges from 21 inches (530 mm) in western sections up to 35 inches (890 mm) in southeast. The wettest months of the year are April and May.[3]

In Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, the person who seems to be a source of trouble in the chapter and may foreshadow future conflict is ?...
Answer:
Lennie
Explanation:
Lennie is totally defenseless and rather petulant. He cannot avoid the dangers presented by Curley, Curley’s wife, or the world at large. His innocence raises him to a standard of pure goodness that is more poetic and literary than realistic. His enthusiasm for the vision of their future farm proves contagious as he convinces George, Candy, Crooks, and the reader that such a paradise might be possible. But he is a character whom Steinbeck sets up for disaster, a character whose innocence only seems to ensure his inevitable destruction.
