Read the passage. 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.

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 li.

In this unit, you read excerpts from naturalist and realist literary works. One such work is the novel Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. As you read the story, write about the topics in the table. The information you add to the table will help you complete Task 2. As you enter information in the table, consider the following questions:

How do literary elements and rhetorical devices, such as foreshadowing, imagery, and symbolism affect your understanding of the story?
Where do you notice the theme of naturalism?
How does the author develop the characters in the story?
Use these strategies while reading the text. Then, use your notes to complete the table.

Guidelines
Use a highlighter
Read the story carefully and use a highlighter to call out important passages, phrases, or twists in the story.
Do not overuse the highlighter. It would defeat the purpose of emphasizing a part of the text if the majority of text is highlighted.
Add notes to the margin
In addition to highlighting the text, add comments or questions to the margin of the page.
Use a notebook
For answers that require a larger area to make notes, use a separate notebook instead of the margin.
You can also use the following link for reference:
