Answer:

Santiago replied that since he was new, he is able to see the things unobserved by them, the things they are accustomed to or believe to be common for them.

Explanation:

Paulo Coelho's <em>The Alchemist</em> is the story of Santiago, a shepherd who dreamed of a prophecy about him discovering a great treasure of wealth at the Egyptian pyramids. The story follows him in his journey to the deserts and his various encounters with different men along the way and his final realization that the ultimate treasure has always been in Spain where he first got his dream.

In part 2 of the text, Santiago had gone back to warn the village chieftains about his vision that he saw of the hawks, <em>"watching their flight and had suddenly felt himself to have plunged to the Soul of the World."</em> But when he tried to warn the tribal chieftains, he was as to why they should believe what he said and why the desert would <em>"reveal such things to a stranger" </em>who was new to the area. At this, Santiago replied, <em>"Because my eyes are not yet accustomed to the desert [......] I can see things that eyes habituated to the desert might not see."</em> Then the chieftains believed his warning, which was a relief for him.

“The fall of the house of usher”, how does the imagery depicted in the beginning of the story contributed to, or set up, the sto
LiRa [457]

From the first lines of the history, the narrator tries to insert the reader in an obscure and sad atmosphere, where it predominates a mystery climate and exacerbated negativity.

The images lead the reader, from the beginning of the narrative to sensations and events that seem to challenge him and to invite to a construction process of differentiated sense.

The creation of the Gothic elements happens through the construction of the atmosphere of fear of the story, as well as the gloomy and decadent character, intensified still more on the phantasmagoric environment of the mansion Usher.

The characters also gain important narrative participation in the study work, as soon as his ambiguous characterization gives to the story a tone of estrangement. So, the Gothic thing in The Fall of the House of Usher is revealed through the morbid description of the narrative environments and of the decoration without life, of the imprecision that shows up around the nature of the events and of the characterization of the main characters, Madeline and Roderick Usher.
