Write a paragraph about your opinion of
"the outsider" by H.P. Lovecraft​

Answer:

Explanation:

The Outsider" is written in a first-person narrative style, and details the miserable and apparently lonely life of an individual, who appears to have never made contact with another individual. The story begins, with the narrator explaining his origins. His memory of others is vague, and he cannot seem to recall any details of his personal history, including who he is or where he is originally from. The narrator tells of his environment: a dark, decaying castle amid an "endless forest" of high trees that block out the light from the sun. He has never seen natural light, nor another human being, and he has never ventured from the prison-like home he now inhabits. The only knowledge the narrator has of the outside world, is from his reading of the "antique books" that line the walls of his castle.

The narrator tells of his eventual determination to free himself, from what he views as an existence within a prison. He decides to climb the ruined staircase of the high castle tower which seems to be his only hope for an escape. At the place where the stairs terminate into crumbled ruins, the narrator begins a long, slow climb up the tower wall, until he eventually finds a trapdoor in the ceiling, which he pushes up and climbs through. Amazingly, he finds himself not at the great height he anticipated, but at ground level in another world. With the sight of the full moon before him, he proclaims, "There came to me the purest ecstasy I have ever known." Overcome with the emotion he feels in beholding what—until now—he had only read about, the narrator takes in his new surroundings. He realizes that he is in an old churchyard, and he wanders out into the countryside before eventually coming upon another castle.

The Ornithopter

Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.

In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.

Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.

Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.

Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.

As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.

But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.

A. Leonardo da Vinci's ideas about flight were ahead of their time.

B. The duke's plan for the ornithopter conflicted with that of da Vinci's.

C. Leonardo da Vinci was a creative genius.

Background
Halloween is typically the perfect holiday for young people. It’s full of mischief, goofing around and candy galore. But this year, the annual October 31 festivities will probably look quite a bit different thanks to corona. Social distancing precautions will force many to alter their Halloween traditions in 2020. But that doesn’t mean they won’t find new ways to keep it spooky.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a list of classic Halloween activities ranked by risk levels. The agency says classic, door-to-door trick-or-treating is a high-risk activity during the pandemic. As an alternative, the agency suggests hosting “a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search” around the house. If you do still plan to go venture out to collect candy, The Washington Post recommends taking precautions. Its recommendations include: using hand sanitizer frequently, avoiding gathering in groups and not eating candy while trick-or-treating. Also, make sure your costume includes a cloth mask. Your average costume mask might not offer the same protection against the corona virus, the CDC warns.
Haunted attractions have been forced to adapt to the scary realities of 2020, as well. Salt Lake City’s Fear Factory haunted house is usually an up-close-and-personal experience. It features terrifying actors who swoop in close for a scare. This year, it will offer socially distanced frights. “The scare has been completely redesigned,” says Fear Factory COO Rob Dun field. “We used to have animations draw customers’ attention so actors could pop out and startle them up close. Now, that’s reversed. The costumed actors draw attention from farther away, then trigger an animation, loud noise, or air blast to go off right next to a person.” In addition, drive-through haunted houses are popping up in cities around the world, including San Diego, Orlando, Houston and Tokyo.
Every year has its costume trends, and 2020 will be no different. Undoubtedly, there will be many corona-themed costumes. But costume companies like Party City have also seen a jump in nurse, doctor and firefighter costumes. “I think people are turning to the people who helped during the pandemic every day,” says Julie Roehm, Party City’s chief marketing and experience officer.
If you want a more low key and spook-free Halloween, you still have plenty of options. Sam Dominguez, a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, says that small groups of friends can gather outside to carve pumpkins or watch Halloween movies. But they should still wear masks and stay socially distanced.
Thankfully, Halloween revelers will be able to depend on candy. This year, candy companies are preparing to sell more treats online. They are also focusing on candy that can be eaten at home, rather than passed out to trick-or-tr eaters. Already, supermarket analysts say the sale of chocolate and candy is up 13 percent
from 2019. “Everyone’s been cooped up in the house, so people are looking for something to celebrate,” says Katie Thomas, a consumer trends analyst at the Barney Consumer Institute.
