Fine topic choice Kaylee but I think you could have discussed the mystery behind her disappearance more as that is a quite popular topic still today. You didn't reply to amy students comments which is worth 30 points. This is also a couple of weeks late. With that said, I know you have been sick so I'm glad you got this done!
I thinkt that Amelia left a positive impact on women that want to pursue the avitation field. I think that she proved and opened many peoples eye to realize that women can do jobs that are supposed to be for "men only" I think that if they haven't found her plane by now, they wont. It is most likely in too bad of shape to find and see.
I think Amelia definitely paved the way for women now in the aviation work field. She showed them it was possible, even though it wasn't normally a "girl thing to do". I personally do not think they'll ever find Amelia or her plane because it has been so long, and by now it's probably undistinguishable.
I definitely think Amelia Earhart affected women who wanted to pursue an aviation career. She became a role model for a lot of women in the 20's and 30's. I think it will take a very long time to find her plane because nobody knows where she crashed.
