Roderick Usher and Madeline, his dear sister, they lived in "House of Usher". It's called this way because the same house was always passed down from father to son.
They have a strange illness, and Roderick believed that the house was the reason.
Then, he called his old friend. He wrote a letter for ~~his~~ him asking to come and see him.
The old friend came to ~~from~~ the house, and he felt a terrible sadness coming out of the house, and his heart felt cold and he was afraid.
The old friend couldn't help them, and one day Madeline died and was buried in a tomb under the house. A few days later, Madeline was alive, and she fell toward her brother, with a cry. As they crashed heavily to the floor, they both died.
Then the old friend ran from the room, and from the house. Outside the storm was still crashing against the building. The crack in the wall of the house was getting wider. Then a great wind came and the house fell in pieces to the ground. The House Of Usher was destroyed.

The Maelström

The young guy and the old man reached the top of the highest mountain. For some minutes, the old man seemed too tired to speak.

Then he said at last, Not long ago I guided people up this mountain. The very old man, he isn't old, but about three years ago, a terrible thing happened to him. In less than one day, his hair changed from black to white, his body became weak, walking makes him shake and a shadow now scares him. He feels nervous when he is on this "little mountain" (it was about five hundred meters high).

Far of the little mountain there are two islands, one called Vurggh and another called Moskoe.
The old man and his two brothers were fishing around the islands of Moskoe and Vurggh. The water between the two islands looked very unusual.
So, the sky was covered by a great storm cloud. In less than a minute the storm reached them. The sky was completely black. Because of the darkness, they could not see anything. They were going into the whirlpool called maelström, and nothing could save them.
Some seconds later, the boat was swept into the whirlpool. But the boat seemed to hang on the inside of the whirlpool. The boat was going down and down, but the movement was very slow. There ~~are~~ were others things around the whirlpool. Lighter things did not fall faster than heavier ones.
At the turn of the tide, smaller things went up to the sea again, so he tied himself to the water barrel. A time later, a boat found him and took him out of the water. His brothers were lost at sea.

Fortunato's fake friend was premeditating his death because Fortunato said many terrible things to him. He wanted to punish him, but he was patient, he didn't want to be found out.
The killer called him his friend, he always smiled at him. He was smiling because he was thinking of his death, truly he hated him.

" (Never trust someone who smiles a lot. These types of people are the worst)"

Fortunato loved wines. Then he waited to begin the biggest party of city, where everyone would be there. That night, he invited Fortunato for his home to know the wine Amontillado, a rare wine at that time of year.
Fortunato was drunk and he accepted the invitation. They arrived at the house, and it was empty.
Fortunato's fake friend took him to the tombs under the house, where was the Amontillado. So he tied him to metal rings that were on the back wall. He quickly began to build a wall in front of the smaller cave where Fortunato was tied.
For fifty years, nobody has visited the tombs. No one in town knows what happened to Fortunato that day.

Mousieur C. Auguste Dupin lived em Paris. He had skill can seemed almost unnatural. He was one of these unusually intelligent people and he used this to solve mysteries.

One day in the street called "Rue Morgue" happened a terrible crime. People woke up about three o'clock listening screams came from the fourth story of a house in the Rue Morgue. The house belongs to Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter ~~Daughter,~~ Mademoiselle Camille L'Espanaye. They lived in the house for about six years.

About eight or ten neighbors entered the house with two policeman to see what it was happening. The screams stopped, but the people could hear two loud voices at the top of the house. One voice seemed a frenchman and another voice was rough, and they didn't understand.

They broke it down the door of the room on the fourth floor that was locked. They found the room in wild disorder. The Furniture was broken. A bloody razor lay on a chair, and there was a lot of gray, bloody hair on the floor near the fireplace.

The Mademoiselle Camille's body was found in the chimney. The body was still warm, and the face and neck were covered in blood. In the small yard behind the building was found the body of the Madame L'Espanaye. Her neck was cut very badly. Her body was also covered in blood and her head almost cut off.

The police searched the house for clues to solve the crime but found nothing. Nobody has been able to solve this mystery yet.

Dupin ~~come~~ came back to the house and he found clues. He found one book with a picture of a orang-utan and a hair-band that was used by a sailor.

Dupin met the sailor frenchman, and he said all truly for Dupin. Dupin solved the mystery. The orang-utan scaped of the sailor's house and entered in the house of Madame L'Espanaye and he killed the two women.

The Stolen Letter

erivaldodipaula10 — 2023-05-07 01:53:03 UTC

On a dark, windy evening in Paris in the fall, C. Auguste Dupin and his friend were sitting in Dupin's library, smoking pipes. The Chief of the Paris Police, Monsieur G., suddenly walked into the room. He wanted Dupin's opinion about an important matter.

An important woman had a very important letter stolen from the royal apartments. The thief was known to them, and he was seen when he took it, and he still has the letter. The thief was a government minister, Minister D_. The woman could not tell anything because there was a third person in the room, and she didn't want this person to see the letter.

Mounsier G. and the police have searched the Minister's rooms. They searched his rooms every night for three months, but they found nothing. If he found the letter, the owner would give him a lot of money. Then the Chief asked Dupin, "what could he do?", Dupin said: Search his rooms again. And he asked the description of the letter to Monsieur G. The Chief read a description of the letter to them.

The Chief visited them again about a month later. He said: "We searched his rooms again, but found nothing."
Then Dupin asked: "How much money would you get if you find the letter?".
Monsieur G. said that would receive a lot, and he would give him a check for half of that amount if he helps him to find the letter.
Dupin said: "Write me a check. When you sign it, I will give you the letter."
He signed it, and then gave it to Dupin. Dupin looked at the check carefully, and put it in his pocket. He took out a letter, and gave it to the Chief.

How did Dupin can to get the letter?

So one morning he put on a pair of dark glasses and went to the Minister's rooms. He was there. (With the glasses, he was able to look around the room while he talked to the Minister. And as excuse, he told that he had to wear dark glasses because of his weak eyes.)

Then he noticed a small letter rack. The letter looked old, dirty, and unimportant. It was addressed to the Minister in a woman's handwriting. He knew almost immediately that it was the stolen letter. He said goodbye to the Minister, and left. But he carefully forgot his hat.

The next morning, he returned for his hat. The minister and he began to continue their conversation from day before. Suddenly, they heard a sound outside like a gunshot, and then screams and shouts.

The Minister ran to the window. He opened it, and looked out. He stepped quickly and quietly to the letter rack, took out the letter, and put it in his pocket. In its place, he put one that looked similar. Then he went to the window.
In the street, there was a man with a gun. Woman and children were scared, but there was no real danger, because the man was working for him.

Luana e Diva - Creating a robot helper proposal

We chose a robot that helps clean the windows of tall buildings. Professionals in this area run the risk of falling due to damaged safety devices. There is also the issue of dizziness due to being at great heights. Robots could replace these professionals in cleaning the outside of these windows. We thought of a robot similar to those that clean floors, where it attaches itself to the glass and walks all over the area to clean it. The psychological and social impact for this profession would be positive, as professionals would no longer be pressured to take risks.
