Why did Hayden turn down the donations for the Women's building? I thought the idea of a patch work was interesting.
What does endemic mean and how does it relate to the construction at Jackson Park?
I thought that it was very strange that first, Holmes planned Julia's abortion on Christmas Eve, and second that she agreed to it. Christmas is a time of celebration to me, and it would always be remembered as the day that she aborted her baby.
I don't understand why Burnham makes an exception for himself to smoke, he seems like a likable character but he is very much interested in himself.
It is surprising to me that Holmes is interested in Minnie, even if she has a lot of money, he is very superficial.
Annotations Part 2 1) did Ned's sister do something with Holmes? Which makes her want to leave Chicago? 2) did Holmes poison Gertrude? 3) did Holmes give Ned the pharmacy to deal ith the debt he was in? 4) why don't doctor offices and schools question were donated skeletons comes from? That's a little suspicious. 5) I think part two of this book is more interesting to read. The first part was a lot of information about the worlds affair, but part two is actually getting into the story more. 6) I think if somebody mentions a pretty lady to Holmes or he sees one, he's going to do whatever it takes to get her. 7) if mrs. Lawrence is suspicious and convinced that Holmes killed emeline, why doesn't she go to authorities? 8) will the footprint that was left on Holmes' vault going to be evidence that he has been killing women?
Comment- it made me so sick to think that Holmes murdered a lady and her daughter on Christmas Eve. And the fact that he skinned them made it 20x worse
Question- why hasn't anyone turned on Holmes yet? Everyone admits that he acts creepy!
Comment- I prefer the chapters with Holmes in it then the Burnham ones. I'm still not seeing the connection between the two of them!
Comment- I'm noticing that Holmes gets everything really easy. He thinks there is an easy way out of every situation and I wonder how long he can get away with it.
Comment- It made me sad that the lady who as in charge of the woman's building was locked up and called crazy just for standing up for herself.
Why do they agree to pay bloom so much money if he doesn't really even want to go Chicago to work? 2: I noticed that Olmsted gets very fixated on things just like Holmes gets fixated on his women. Of course the things hey fixated on are different but still... 3: you would think that they would prosecute the grave robbers prat least question where the drs are getting their skeletons from. 4: what evere happened to Ned after he came back looking for Holmes, but talked to emetine instead? Did Holmes get to him? 5: why doesn't emetine question Holmes when he tells her he's the son of a lord? Even when he has no credibility?
If given more time, how much bigger and better would the architects have attempted to build the fair? How would the amount of time affect the decisions they made and executed.
I find it interesting that someone who doesn't seem at all related to this book, Walt Disney, was mentioned. His father, Elias Disney, was a carpenter and furniture-maker for the fair. He shared stories with his son, Walt about his experience, which helped inspire the things that Walt did later in life. (page 153)
I was intrigued by the fact that the term "hobo" originated from the phrase "ho, boy!" used by unemployed men during this time. (page 155)
Burnham writes letters to his wife, Margaret, about wanting to come home and being busy with the fair. The distance between them reminds me of the relationship I have with my boyfriend. We don't get to see each other too often because of the physical distance between us. I relate to Burnham in this way.
I think it's interesting that so many things our society has today originated from this fair. For instance, the Pledge of Allegiance that is mentioned on page 181, and the Ferris Wheel invented by George Washington Gale Ferris that comes together through many parts of the book.
