In the short story of "You'll Love the Way We Fly", Lori Jakiela described her encounter with an old sickly man on her job as a flight attendant.

In the story Jakiela decides what she will do about the old man and how it will change her throughout the story. By looking at the evolution of the relationship between Jakiela and the old man in the flight, we can see there are certain parts that make her rethink her decisions to care for the man: which most readers don’t see; this is important because by the end of the flight Jakiela turns her attitude around and thinks about the man and his home life.

As Milkman observes Pilate’s ability to simultaneously fly while staying grounded, he begins to develop and understand the meaning of freedom from flight. Pilate serves as the archetype for an independent and free character not bound by societal restraints. Her strong characterization ignites admiration from Milkman when he notices her masculine traits: “she was as tall as his father, head and shoulders taller than himself.” Pilate’s masculine traits not only highlight her independence and strong presence, but also signifies her ability to fly away from societal norms of an African American women during her time period. Due in part to Milkman’s lacking male father figure, and another in part to Pilate’s ability to fly in her masculine traits, Milkman immediately places Pilate as his mentor for discoveries.

Similarly, Lindbergh found a host of other aviators, and even some explorers, that sought after the honor of being the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic, and gain $25,000 in addition. In the face of competition, Columbus and Lindbergh rose to meet their respective challenges, proving their determined nature, and their will to succeed in what they knew best.

The desire to escape can be overwhelming. Such desires are present in the common African American folklore about “the flying Africans”, where a select few enslaved Africans are able to escape from slavery through their ability to fly.
