The Devil In The White City

This has been the most revealing and saddest chapter so far its called: "Alone". I was almost crying in this chapter. They said alot of jokes but i didnt understand any of them. I know somebody said something about Burhnam and it brought back alot of bad memories. The book also said something about Burhnam being more dangerous than Sullivan and I was confused on what type of dangerous he was and I'm paranoid that everyone is going to turn into a killer. They diagnosed Root with Pneumonia, I knew he was going to die because back then when you got pneumonia they didn't have a cure for it. I had pneumonia when i was smaller and they said that if i get it again i might develope asthma. So i can relate except i didnt die of course. I was wondering how Burhnam can work in peace with all those sick people around him something is always getting in the way of his work. I know it sounds harsh but he should replace them so he could get his work going because there isn't time to waste. Root asked Burhnam not to leave alone again but he did but to another room to talk to Root's wife. Right then another relative came in the room and announced that Root was dead. I was so sad. Burhnam was so upset that he made Root this famous and got the best job in the country and now he dies, but I know thats not why he is angry its just that he can't stand that he lost his best friend in the heat of thier career. I was wondering throughout the whole chapter how he was going to do it with out him. He thought of giving up the fair but i think its not a good idea because then he proves others' opinions, about how without Root Chicago is nothing, right. Some other people quit others couldn't do the job anymore and everything started falling apart. The chapter ended with saying that there is a darker force of a young irish immigrant that sinks into madness just a little bit more everyday that will destroy everything that Burhnam dreamed of and I think its going to be Holmes. We'll see if I'm right.....
