Wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down" (pg. 179). Throughout Morrison's novel "Song of Solomon" there are many references to flight. Whether it be in the introduction with the insurance agent, Robert Smith, committing suicide by "flying" off of the roof of Mercy hospital, Solomon's flight from slavery, or even Milkman's own personal flight at the end of the novel; the idea of flight is represented in many situations. Moving through the novel it becomes obvious that Milkman has trouble finding his own identity.
Weapons and technology of WW2 World War two was considered by many to be the first modern war which implement lots of new inventions that were never seen before. There were advancements in all fields of war from underwater sub-marines to atmospheric rockets. Air power: During WW1 aircraft were mostly made out of wood and canvas which resulted in them being slow and weak, because of this most aircraft were used for spying and not for air to air combat. In WW2 new aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and Lancaster Bomber were developed. These aircraft were larger and stronger and could travel much faster which meant that planes could do more than ever before.
The Battle of Britain was the first major battle to be entirely fought by air forces. The difficulties in determining the start and finish dates, was Britain running out of planes and pilots? Just how badly was Fighter Command outnumbered? Did Goering really make a dramatic
Technology and the kinds of savage warfare conducted by the American and enemy forces during World War II both played a crucial role in determining the outcome of the war. The war began with most armies utilizing technology that had changed little from World War I, and in some cases, had remained unchanged since the 19th century. The war began with cavalry, trenches, and World War I-era battleships, but within only six years, armies around the world had developed jet aircraft, ballistic missiles, and even atomic weapons by one. The best jet fighters at the end of the war easily outflew any of the leading aircraft of 1929, such as the Spitfire Mark I. The early war bombers that caused such carnage would almost all have been shot down in 1945,
They did this so they could take control of the RAF (Royal Air Force) this was a tactic used by the Germans but failed. The British won. A story by Geoffrey Welham when he flew a spitfire for the first time fighting against thee Germans:- “I did about 158 hours of training for the army.

The Role of Government In the Lord of the Flies the role of government is very evident throughout the novel. The young boys were attacked by an enemy plane fighting in the war with England. Throughout the novel, government has a very important place with the boys as they decide what they will do. When the boys have found themselves in a place where there are no adults, no sense of structure, or anything they were remotely used to. William Golding presents the governments place in the book when at the beginning of the novel, they decide to vote (like in the legislative branch of our government) “Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things.”, Ralph says.
Ironically, Winston’s job in the Ministry of Truth is to fix any documents the Party finds necessary revise- newspaper articles, photos, or even simple numerical figures for production to give a false image of a flourishing economy. The Ministry also writes and ‘vaporizes’ people out of history -- they go "down the memory hole" as if they never existed. An example of this is when Winston is faced with the task of eradicating all information and reference to an ‘unperson’ in a newspaper article. He proceeds to write an article about Comrade Ogilvy, a fictional party member, who displayed immense bravery and courage by jumping into the sea from a helicopter and saved the dispatches from the enemy. Consequently, this excessive amount of censoring and perpetual revision of the past causes the memories of citizens to become vague and hazy; people become more willing to believe whatever the Party tells them.
The tribes admire their leaders because of their extraordinary strength and courage. Throughout the poem, there are examples where Beowulf courageously boasted before he goes to fight an opponent. During that Anglo Saxon period, it was acceptable to boast but you have to fulfill your promises to your people. When Beowulf arrived to Hrothgar, he promised that he would kill Grendel. Either Grendel would be killed or Beowulf would die.
Nothing could ever make up for all the bad things Sonny does but at least he does somewhat realize the bad things he does. If he did not realize his bad deeds, he wouldn’t be telling Cologero not to be like him. I know that Sonny has trust issues but that does not affect him being a good person or not. Sonny’s having trust issues is just his way of trying to protect himself from getting taken advantage of, and keep control. The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again.
This proves that he’s selfless and a caring guy because he didn’t want to let Christian die thinking that Roxane doesn’t love him. Plus he didn’t want Roxane to love him because he wrote the poems. He didn’t want to steal Roxane away from Christian and Christian away from
