Wright Brothers

by Yoon from Arcadia

Wright Brothers

The Wright Brothers are true heroes. They had an adventurous life, accomplished some heroic deeds and made me think. The Wright Brothers are my heroes.

The Wright Brothers life was full of inventions. The Wright Brothers were the first American inventors of the 20 century. Orville was the older brother and Wilbur was the young brother. Orville was born on August 19th, 1871 and died on January 30th, 1948. The younger brother, Wilbur was born on April 16th,1867, and died on May 30th,1912.

There were many heroic acts that the Wright Brothers accomplished. The Wright Brothers made the first airplane. First, they tried many times, and they crashed the plane in to the ground. But, they never gave up. They made many kinds of airplanes. They made an engine and they put it into the plane. They finally had a successful flight and the longest flight was 59 seconds.

Learning about the Wright Brothers has inspired me to think. I can't believe that the Wright Brothers made the first plane. What if they didn't invent the airplane? We would have a hard time to get to far places or other countries.

One great hero in this world are the Wright Brothers. Learning about their life and heroic deeds has given me much to ponder. They are heroes. -THE END-
