1) What surprised me most about the Wright Brothers is that they were in their mid-30s when they began on their quest to build the first aero-vehicle, and it took them ten years to do so. What I most admired about them was their determination and perseverance even after so many years of working. There were not many flaws I could think of with the Wright Brothers. They had encountered adversity and failure, but in these tough times they picked themselves back up and kept on going.
2) Both of the brothers loved the idea of aviation, and both were extremely intelligent, which made them such experts in their field. Knowledge and determination is what allowed them to achieve their goal.
3) In the book, I did not understand why government officials were unresponsive to the Wright Brothers, as they had such a brilliant idea but no one would really take them seriously enough.
4) What sparked the idea to create the world's first vehicle that can travel in the air? What kept you from giving up after all of these years and failures? I believe these questions are imperative to ask because it is so inspirational how these two men thought of the idea in the first place, let alone stayed determined after a countless amount of failures.
5) I believe that the Wright Brothers believed that hard work was solely based on whether or not you believed you succeeded or not, but somewhere down the road they needed to everyone else to believe in them too. I believe in this philosophy, however I also believe that it is enough to just try and succeed on your own and if you fail to get back up again and do not give up.
