    Palladio Vs Blackmar

    • 1454 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Cronon analyzes how the ecological and economical transformation of Chicago affects the landscape itself. Much of his work explores the centralization of power. The centralization of power results in the localization of capital. The resulting social hierarchy that forms bases itself in the corporate world rather than in an intrinsic belief or land scarcity, a noticeable difference from the likes of Palladio or Blackmar. The prominent force of the hierarchy comes from the corporate world creating “a kind of ‘second nature,’ designed by people and improved toward human ends” (Cronon 56). Second nature—mostly roads and railways—rests atop an unaltered natural world. Cronon’s argument relies on the idea that second nature served to interconnect cities and define the routes of commerce. These artificial corridors quickened the time it took to get from one place to another, creating an artificial form of human-based time. In Chicago’s meat-packing industry, dressed beef that was slaughtered in Chicago could be sold in New York City in under a weeks time for a large profit. Second nature served to create an international market of capital trade. Cronon then argues that the network of second nature “obscured the very connections it helped create” (257). The walls that separate the social classes need not be strictly physical. Physical space becomes abstract when locality no longer matters. Cronon argues that the annihilation of physical space favors those who can accomplish the task as well as take advantage of the situation: the people with the most capital. Cronon’s view of Chicago, instead of creating artificial walls between social classes, abolishes them, and in turn, further divides the rich from the…

    Devil in the White City

    • 2662 Words
    • 11 Pages

    Erik Larson and many newspaper businesses referred to Chicago as the Black City. Chicago was known as the city where many people, mostly young women, disappeared. With the reputation of being a city as “a gigantic peepshow of utter horror, but extraordinarily to the point,” (Larson 2003, 28), many citizens did not think highly of the city. Chicago was shown as a city that was affected by many different “devils.” With a murderer on the loose during the time of the World’s Fair, unemployment rates rising, filth in the form of rats and dirt on the streets, these “devils” transformed Chicago as a city going toward the darkness. Many people visited the city of Chicago. The perception most citizens took from their experiences either awed them or terrified them, but it did not change their views that “…Chicago was a secondary city that preferred butchered…

    As prior stated, the Chicago World’s Fair took place only 22 years after the Chicago Fire and showed that Chicago was quickly growing industrially as well as population wise (Rydell 1). Chicago was in competition with New York City, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis for housing the fair, which would lead to great prestige for the city (Rydell 1). Congress decided in 1890 that Chicago would be the lucky city to hold the fair, giving Chicago three years for preparations for the extravagant and monumental event (Rydell 1). As Ben C. Truman described in The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 the fair was designed to show the progress made by American’s since Columbus’s arrival (Truman 1). With this fair taking place in Chicago, the city was able to show its progress, especially after the destruction from the Chicago fire. Daniel H. Burnham was put in charge of the exposition and had help from his partner John W. Root to select and achieve beautiful architecture and sculpture to create an artistic and magnificent fair, which would become known as the White City (Rydell 1). Author of Devil in the White City Erik Larson describes Root’s untimely and sudden death in 1891 and how it shocked Chicago as well as caused commotion and gossip (Larson 107-8). Newspapers contained many interviews…

    My Bedroom

    • 270 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I like my bedroom the most in my house because it is a place I can study and relax. Right at the corner of the room is a queen size bed which takes most of the space of my room. The bedspread is light pink and matches with the dark pink flower blanket. My iPod is always under my pink pillow so that I can listen to music or watch a movie when I am about to go to sleep. Next to the bed is a two drawer wood nightstand with a classic night lamp and a pink alarm clock on its top. Above the top of my bed is a window that I open every morning for the sunshine go through and to hear the birds sing. The wall is painted white which makes my room look a little bit bigger. In the left corner of the room is a closet which is half organized. My clothes and bags are separated by a shelf. The clothes are hung in order by color and look very neat under the shelf, but the bags on the shelf are pretty messy. At the back of the room is a small desk which I use every day for studying and reading. Whenever I get home, the first thing I do is go in my room and lie down on my bed. It makes me feel very relax and peaceful when I just look around my room or through the window. In a word, although my bedroom is pretty small, it is the place that I can enjoy my own world every…
