![]() Wilbur and Orville set to work trying to figure out how to design wings for flight. Determined to develop their own successful design, Wilbur and Orville headed to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, known for its strong winds. When Lilienthal died in a glider crash, the brothers decided to start their own experiments with flight. First FlightĪlways working on different mechanical projects and keeping up with scientific research, the Wright brothers closely followed the research of German aviator Otto Lilienthal. In 1892 Wilbur and Orville opened a bike shop, fixing bicycles and selling their own design. ![]() The brothers also shared a passion for bicycles-a new craze that was sweeping the country. Wilbur edited the paper, and Orville was the publisher. In 1889 the brothers started their own newspaper, the West Side News. Wilbur spent much of this period at home, reading books in his family’s library, and caring for his ailing mother, who died in 1889 of tuberculosis. He did not receive his high school diploma, canceled plans for college, and retreated to his family’s home. Though most of his injuries healed, the incident plunged Wilbur into a depression. He was badly injured in an ice hockey game when another player’s stick hit him in the face. In the winter of 1885-86, an accident changed the course of Wilbur’s life. His personality was outgoing and robust, and he made plans to attend Yale University after high school. Wilbur was a bright and studious child and excelled in school. ![]() The Wright Brothers’ Sister Was the Secret to Their Success ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Bechdel describes the labyrinth in text above an illustration of herself running through the house. When fearing the wrath of her father, Alison runs through the maze of the house as the children ran through the maze fearing the Minotaur. In doing so, Bechdel reinstates his status of Daedalus by equating the house Bruce created to the labyrinth. Bechdel occasionally depicts her father as the Minotaur within his own labyrinth of a house to add to the complexity of who Bruce was. Bruce creates the beauty of the house out of nothing, as Daedalus creates numerous marvels in the tales of Crete.īruce Bechdel’s Daedalus creates the mythic Minotaur’s labyrinth within the walls of the Bechdel home. In restoring the home, Bruce performs, “as Daedalus did, dazzling displays of artfulness” (9). Through the decoration and modification of the family home, Alison sees Bruce as some sort of genius, a man that could “spin garbage into gold,” even “a Daedalus of decor” (6). Alison’s father becomes the great inventor and creator in the eyes of Alison. The image of Bruce as Daedalus only grows stronger as Bechdel continues Fun Home. This contradictory juxtaposition of text and image begins Bechdel’s depiction of the complexity of her relationship with her father. Bechdel states, “In our particular reenactment of this mythic relationship, it was not me but my father who was to plummet from the sky,” thus equating Bruce to Icarus rather than Daedalus (4). ![]() However, Bechdel immediately challenges the visual depiction by contradicting the roles shown with the text inside the image. Alison tumbles to the ground from her position above Bruce, much like Icarus falls to the ocean in the mythical tale. Bruce, much like Daedalus creating Icarus’s wings, allows Alison to fly and gives her the only means of doing so – creating a balance between her stomach and his feet as he lifts her into the air.īechdel’s opening scene establishes her father as Daedalus, but also establishes herself Icarus, the child who falls. In this instance, Alison and Bruce mirror the myth’s roles of child flying above father. Alison flies above Bruce as Icarus flew above Daedalus. The constant and inconsistent reversal of roles in the allusion to the myth of Icarus and Daedalus is necessary in demonstrating the complexity of the relationship between Alison and Bruce Bechdel.īechdel introduces her father as Daedalus and herself as Icarus, flying above him in the three illustrations opening the graphic novel. Bruce Bechdel plays the role of Daedalus, the grand inventor, and Icarus, the one who falls, while Alison plays the same roles differently – Daedalus through the wise warning and Icarus as the child taking flight with the father.īy continuously changing who plays whom in the myth as Fun Home progresses, Bechdel creates a stronger complexity within the relationship between her and her father. But does he fall because he did not take some advice from Alison’s Daedalus? Bechdel portrays herself as Icarus flying above her father, yet allows readers to immediately know that “it was not but father who was to plummet from the sky” (4). However, he is also the one who falls as Icarus, not Alison. Her father is often Daedalus, the great inventor who can see something and turn it into something great. During flight, Icarus forgets his father’s warning and flies too close to the sun, melting his wings and plummeting to his death in the waves below.īechdel inverts the roles in the mythical allusion constantly. The inventor warns his son to be careful of the path he chooses to fly – flying too high would cause the wax to melt and the wings to fall apart, but fly too low and the waves will dampen the wings, rendering them useless. Daedalus, watching the birds flying around the tower, creates wings for him and his son to escape, using only wax and feathers. In the myth of Daedalus and Icarus, the father and son are locked in a tower with hopes of escaping. Bechdel, however, does not maintain consistency in the allusion as a parallel to her relationship with her father. On top of integrating countless allusions and references in the bulk of the graphic novel, Bechdel employs the Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus to unite the overarching themes of the work with the characters and the relationships between the characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() Finally, in part (d), the angle shown is large enough to produce a second minimum. ![]() However, not all rays interfere constructively for this situation, so the maximum is not as intense as the central maximum. Most rays from the slit have another ray to interfere with constructively, and a maximum in intensity occurs at this angle. Two rays, each from slightly above those two, also add constructively. One ray travels a distance different from the ray from the bottom and arrives in phase, interfering constructively. Īt the larger angle shown in part (c), the path lengths differ by for rays from the top and bottom of the slit. The difference in path length for rays from either side of the slit is seen to be D sin. Light passing through a single slit is diffracted in all directions and may interfere constructively or destructively, depending on the angle. By symmetry, another minimum occurs at the same angle to the right of the incident direction (toward the bottom of the figure) of the light. In other words, a pair-wise cancellation of all rays results in a dark minimum in intensity at this angle. In fact, each ray from the slit interferes destructively with another ray. A ray from slightly above the center and one from slightly above the bottom also cancel one another. Thus, a ray from the center travels a distance less than the one at the bottom edge of the slit, arrives out of phase, and interferes destructively. In part (b), the ray from the bottom travels a distance of one wavelength farther than the ray from the top. However, when rays travel at an angle relative to the original direction of the beam, each ray travels a different distance to a common location, and they can arrive in or out of phase. When they travel straight ahead, as in part (a) of the figure, they remain in phase, and we observe a central maximum. (Each ray is perpendicular to the wave front of a wavelet.) Assuming the screen is very far away compared with the size of the slit, rays heading toward a common destination are nearly parallel. These are like rays that start out in phase and head in all directions. According to Huygens’s principle, every part of the wave front in the slit emits wavelets, as we discussed in The Nature of Light. We then consider light propagating onwards from different parts of the same slit. Here, the light arrives at the slit, illuminating it uniformly and is in phase across its width. The analysis of single-slit diffraction is illustrated in (Figure). (b) The diagram shows the bright central maximum, and the dimmer and thinner maxima on either side. The central maximum is six times higher than shown. (a) Monochromatic light passing through a single slit has a central maximum and many smaller and dimmer maxima on either side. ![]() ![]() ![]() Your subscription will be linked to your Man圜am account.
