Definition of terms
There are several terms that geeky airplane folks use when discussing the properties and merits of airplanes. It is necessary to understand these terms when comparing airplanes. Some of the most commonly used are gross weight, useful load, and payload. Gross weight is the maximum aircraft weight when full with cargo and fuel. It can be dangerous to exceed gross weight because the airframe might not be able to handle the extra weight. Useful load is how much weight can be put in the plane including fuel. Payload is how much weight can be put in the plane after it is full of fuel.
Some common terms used in describing bush planes are stall speed, STOL, ground roll, take off distance over 50 feet, and rate of climb. Stall speed is when the airplane stops producing enough lift to fly, and the airplane stops flying. STOL is an acronym for Short Takeoff and Landing. Ground roll is how many feet it takes for a plane to takeoff. Take off distance over 50 feet is how many feet it takes for a plane to take off from being stopped to climb 50 feet in the air. Rate of climb is how many vertical feet per minute, FPM, an airplane can climb.

Since the beginning of aviation, aircraft have been used for other intentions besides carrying passengers and cargo. They have been used as weapons of war dating all the way back to the first world war, and the use of aircraft has enlightened the advancement of the aviation. “Throughout the history of aviation, the greatest progress in flight has been made during time when either war or the threat of war was present” (Millspaugh, et al., 2008, p. 33). However, the war we face today has been triggered by the deliberate use of aircraft to cause death, destruction, and mayhem.

Excerpt: “A thick scar ran from his right ear down his neck and beneath his collar. A black man with a violent history, William thought and immediately reprimanded himself for racially profiling the driver. Excuse me, sir, but I pulled you over because your scar doesn’t belong in this neighborhood.” (Alexie 61)
The Southwest Analytics and Aerospace --SAA-- has been made aware of the major problems within their company. The job analysis depicted here will give a clear insight into the organization and its complications. A job analysis is a detailed examination of performance elements within a company, which enables them to narrow down problems and solve them. After reviewing the management, the issues at hand presented have been narrowed down to three key ones. The first problem that they are faced with would be that SAA relies on primitive methods when deciding whom to hire. An unstructured, group-based interview is usually how hiring is determined. Next, they are having problems with intergenerational conflict. Older employees talk about the good old days when events would occur before some of the younger, newer engineers were even born. This could be an underlying cause of why SAA is having a hard time attracting, hiring, and retaining talented young employees. Finally, the employees are expected to follow the rules blindly and not step out of the path that has been created for them.

Love, illness, and loss: the trifecta of any young adult romance novel. John Green has established himself as proficient in all three tropes through his many novels and several movie adaptations. While he is often praised for his portrayal of love and loss, his use of illness is just as prevalent in two of his stories. The Fault in Our Stars (2014) showcases cancer in young adults, whereas Looking for Alaska (2005) is written around the mental illness of the protagonist’s love interest. Green takes these two themes and writes them in contrasting ways, such as tone of voice, how the characters interact with others, and how those characters deal with death. The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska by John Green are perfect examples of
