The Eiffel tower is made of a material called wrought iron/pudding iron it is a mixture of iron ore and 0.08percent carbon which is a combination of coal and iron put into a bloomer pretty much a small forge. The Eiffel tower was built by a company called Gustave which was named after the owner of the company that signed the contract to create the Eiffel tower the name of the man was Gustave Eiffel who introduced the idea during the world fair of 1889. The tower weighs about 10,100 lb but contains about 7,000 metric tons of pudding iron/wrought iron, But that was just in the planning stage it took thirty years of his life to building the actual tower. Although during the world fair of 1886 Gustave Eiffel introduce the idea of the statue of liberty the origin of the statue of liberty is to celebrate the alliance between America and France during the revolutionary war the actual statue of liberty was created by a man named Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi but the metal framework was made by Gustave Eiffel that was just under the copper coat the statue took about 9 years to build, Gustave started working on the statue in 1885 which went entail 1894 but they had to take it apart into about 340 pieces to fit it on boats to send it to America but then it took 4 months to rebuild.

When I almost reached the door, I felt something at my foot, a broken hourglass, that had ran out of sand. Shaking and suddenly bursting into a cold sweat, I furiously jammed the key in. It felt like an eternity, but finally I succeeded. Pushing the door open, and wiping a faceful of sweat from my face, I felt this wave of aromas crash over me. Putting the key in my pocket(FORESHADOWING) and then entering the cellar I tried to calm down. I tried to look for the cask of Amontillado that I bought several weeks ago. There were millions of wines in that cellar (HYPERBOLE). But at last I found it. It felt, lighter, and after opening it I realised that it was empty. I wasn’t enraged, just tired. I made my way to the door, suddenly feeling drowsy. Then I became a little bit nauseous and shaky. Looking into the darkness, I saw, darkness. So I picked up my dying torch and put it up and almost yelled “Who’s there?”. There was no reply but a figure seemed to appear in the darkness. It was carrying a scythe and it started towards me. I fell back, and was caught by the wall, slamming my head against it and dropping my torch. The figure whispered in the dark, “Free the fortunate one, for be warned fate will find

“The men we sent to aid you said when they got there; the entire village was destroyed, still burning in a white fire.

I awoke from my nap with a jolt. There was a man stabbing his sword over and over again into my belly. What is with these people and swords? He yelled out that his name was Beowulf but all I could do was howl in pain. “Please stop!” I screamed but he didn’t stop. That made me very angry and so I pushed him off and prepared to fight. We fought for a long time before he finally defeated me and as my world slowly went black all I could hear was the tapping off claws and then my mother’s
The Water Tower was first constructed in 1876 and designed by architect William W. Boyington with the purpose of being a water pumping system for the then small town. This water system pumped water from Lake Michigan’s intake bins into the tower where it was cleaned, however this process was stopped right before the turn of the century due to pollution of the water. The water tower is made out of large limestone bricks, which made it the last surviving building during the Great Chicago Fire. The water tower is significant because it shows the strength Chicago has as a unite, under great stress.
Someone hands me a torch. Who, I do not know. My head is in a fog, I cannot even remember my own name. Focus, I tell myself, you cannot get distracted now. I pull my arm back and throw the blazing stick into the belly of the beast. I watch, enthralled by the beauty of the flames as the sacks of grain become alight. A shout wrenches me back into reality.

It happened before I knew it. The edge of my vision was bursting with flames, so real I could almost feel their heat, though they did not burn, only flickered and danced along my skin. I yelped, looking down at my hands, ablaze as if they had been shoved into a shove.

The tower gets its name from Gustave Eiffel, the man who designed the monument, and also did the girder work for the Statue of Liberty now in New York harbor. Looking at its open frame, it comes as no surprise that Eiffel was a bridge engineer when he entered the competition along with 100 other people to design this lasting monument to French culture. In fact, it took just two years and 300 steel workers for it to reach its pre-television height of 984 feet. The construction work began in January 1887 and was finished on March 31 1889. In spite of this height, the Eiffel Tower has just four floors. All are served by specially designed elevators that, instead of running up a vertical track, move along a curve dictated by the
