The Devil In The White City

The section of "A Gauntlet Dropped" I found out many things. I thought that since it was winter that they would stop working until its spring again,but they didn't they made little advances in thier building. Burhnam met Elias Disney which was Walt Disney's father, I thought that was really cool because these people were all connected. The criticism just keeps on coming and they won't stop until Burhnam is done with this World's Fair, but it bugs how much they criticize them because if they were doing they wouldn't want people tp be pn thier backs twenty-four/ seven. I also didn't understand why they layed off people if they need as much as they can to finish this fair in time for dedication. The author went of rambling about where the term hobo came from which confused me because it was slightly irrelevent. Burhnam felt the fair as a burden, something he wanted to get over with, but I think that he knows this might set his family for life thats why he needs to focus and make this right. There is no time to be proud, he just needs to focus on whats happening with him and the fair because otherwise he is going to get sidetracked. I liked the way Burhnam took the chance and told off all the engineers because he said that they didn't really do much for the construction of the fair. They seem to be almost done with the buildings because they are already thinking of interior design. I could tell that Burhnam misses Margaret because of the way he writes his letters. He got his sons to visit him and he seems to be happy which gives some light tp whats happening. :)
