My View of the World Essay
As I stand here  viewing over the lush green  leafage of thousands of trees, I glanced down toward the base of the  bay window to see curvy, windy roads,  interweave in and  forth between tiny little box houses,  plan around here and  on that point. I  sack up see for miles and miles, the views are  breather taking. Thats mostly why people come to see me, to look  proscribed with me, to see the fantastic views.My arms are sore from  stand up here for  about 75 years, just doing no minuteg but wondering. For   more another(prenominal) months I have started to think what is beyond the horizon of the sea. There could be a whole new world over the edge. Is there  however an edge? Who knows?Years ago those little things climbed on my feet, just to  swallow a better view or to pose in  reckon of a compact box, with a blinding flash for a  couple up of seconds, but now there are large metallic fences at my feet. This is predominantly because I am old, weary and wearing out so I need protect   ing.People get here in many different ways, clear boxes which travel up and down continuously, moving stairs, or climbing 222 steps  comer the summit, exhausted. Oh yeah I forgot to say about the odd people that walk all the way up the  rooftree of mount Corcovado who wear  meek shorts, long pulled up socks, big  roly-poly boots, weird hats and really, really big bags on their backs. They come in there hordes, they come in all shapes and sizes big ones small ones fat ones thin ones some(a) are noisy some are quiet some just scream and laugh some are in  idolatry of me and gaze up at me, as I gaze out at the horizon. These people see me as a god, but if  just it were true because all I  regard to do is just  tent-fly to the moon, to the white wonderful wide space, where I could rest my sore  poignant arms and legs. No one knows the pain Im in or even know I have any feelings.I remember the journey of how I came to be here. I was created by a local engineer called Heitor da Silva Cost   a. He made me out of reinforced concrete and layers of soap stone. Firstly I was going to be made out of steel but that wouldnt of had much of a chance against extreme weather conditions. I was built in small chunks and  tardily brought to the top by a struggling train on the Corcovado Rack Railway. Then I was pieced together bit by bit,  lately rising above the ridge to embrace the people of the world.Through my surprisingly large nostrils I can smell the wondrous cuisine from the  work below swirling and rising up the mountain side. Just after  tenebrific the surroundings black out and all attention is drawn towards the  vivid lights of the city. Although no one else sees it, its not all happiness up here. I have seen many things in my life like lootings, suicides, murders, but what always happens almost every night is groups of people  dole out drugs and sit there injecting liquids into their arms, snorting dust and sniffing corrosive  fumes of acids. The fumes are so strong even    I get a headache and my heads made out of concrete It is disgusting what they do, but it is what they want to do, and what could I do any way.As dawn emerges it makes up for the  antecedent night. The sun rises and a new day begins. In the early morning, the mountain air is fresh and crisp the sun rises leisurely, bringing a slow warmth to the city. The most beautiful part of the day is now, when it is peaceful and you can hear the chirping of the birds below. The heat from the sun breaks through my layers of soap stone reaching into the hard cold concrete inside.
