History in the Making

The December morning was cold and crisp as John Lee and his retriever Sampson turned toward the beach. Inhaling, John Lee let the smells and sounds wash over him. As he and Sampson crisscrossed the fields of sea oats and beach grasses, a cold, bitter wind gusted across the dunes. Pulling his jacket more tightly to him, John Lee clucked at Sampson, urging the lumbering black dog onward. Despite the cold, John Lee was determined not to miss a single, solitary moment of this day—history was in the making!

As he and Sampson walked along the dunes, John Lee recalled that first meeting with the two brothers from Ohio—the Wright Brothers. John Lee had literally collided with Wilbur one day while chasing after Sampson. Then, his brother Orville wandered over to see what the commotion was about. John Lee was afraid that both he and Sampson were in for a scolding. Happily, Orville and Wilbur simply initiated a conversation, patiently answering the curious John Lee’s questions.

John Lee had already heard some rumblings about the two; they were inventors, tinkering with some unique contraption—a flying machine. They had run a bicycle shop back in Ohio until they had become increasingly intrigued by anything and everything having to do with flight. They researched and studied and toyed with various experiments, and eventually had made their way to North Carolina to conduct “trials” with their flying machine. Everything about the brothers fascinated John Lee—from their flat Ohio accents to their conversations peppered with scientific jargon—words like velocity, atmospheric, and physics. For the first time, he could envision the existence of a world beyond Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Jogging over a large dune, John Lee spotted the familiar outlines of the Wrights’ work shed and living quarters. Coming around the corner of the shed was Orville Wright; trailing behind him was his brother Wilbur, deep in conversation with one of the men who worked at the Kill Devil Hills Life-Saving Station, one of the many stations constructed along the coastline to assist sailors in need of help. The Wright brothers had chosen this area of the outer banks because of the constant wind needed provide a lift to their flying machine.

John Lee’s gaze strayed toward a group of men placing a series of tracks down on the ground, watching as one man guided the others in the placement of the tracks. Today, the Wrights were conducting another trial with their flying machine. Three days earlier, Wilbur had successfully steered the machine, soaring above the ground for a total of three seconds. John Lee treasured that sight—it was one of the most thrilling things he had ever witnessed. Now, he and Sampson watched as several men from the Life-Saving Service guided the flying machine out of its shed. John Lee could feel the excitement in the air, as if it were he that would be aboard that flying machine! The men guided the contraption to the edge of the tracks. John Lee had to remind himself not to hold his breath.

Then, much to his surprise and delight, Wilbur came over and handed John Lee a watch, telling him he would be one of the timekeepers for the trials today.

Orville strode over to the machine and then climbed aboard, positioning himself between the wings; the engine throbbed to life. To John Lee, it seemed as if everything was in slow motion as the flying machine glided across the tracks and then began to slowly ascend. For twelve glorious seconds, Orville was airborne. Dixon heard the other men whooping; applause filled the air.

Then, all too soon, it was over. The flying machine skimmed back into the soft dune sands; the men cheered and clapped Orville on the back, while another man pumped Wilbur's arm so hard that it looked like he was trying to pump water. Sampson barked as if he understood that something very exciting had happened. John Lee was in a daze; it was turning out to be a most unexpected day—a day he would never, ever forget.

How does the second half of "History in the Making" contribute to the development of the theme that teamwork can make the impossible happen?

by including information about the problems the Wrights overcame to make the first flight

by describing how the weather conditions of the Outer Banks made it the ideal place to fly

by mentioning the Wrights's kindness to John Lee and his dog Sampson

by explaining how it took many people to coordinate the first successful flight

Answer: by explaining how it took many people to coordinate the first successful flight

Explanation:

As much as history mostly remembers only the Wright brothers for this first flight, this passage shows that teamwork was necessary for the impossibility of flight to become possible as it showed how it took different people to coordinate that first flight.

From the men who worked at the Life-Saving station to the men who placed tracks on the ground to the men who kept time. They worked as a team and were all needed for the first successful flight.
