2. Clearly there were many motives that drove Chicago to build the world fair. Civic honor is probably the most prominent of these motives as well as wanting to be as good as other monumental cities such as New York- they wanted to prove themselves. Chicago wanted to be respected as much as possible. Chicago proving that it was more than a meat packing backwater showed how they could push through difficult times to gain honor which is problematic in this situation.

There were definitely positive and negative aspects of this dreamlike city because dreams can be good or bad. I think the biggest negative aspect was people like Holmes who murdered innocent people and did terrible things. Positive pieces to the puzzle of a city Chicago was included the architects like Burnham and working people who saw a future and had hope.
4. The Chicago World’s Fair left a permanent handprint on America and our history. The fair paved the way for all other amusement parks and buildings with unique architecture of today’s culture. The Ferris wheel was definitely the fair’s biggest invention that is still extremely popular today.

Being able to work as a team and sharing responsibility is also a great characteristic which these two definitely had. Burnham dealt with buildings and business whereas Olmsted dealt with the landscaping and planting that went on even though they were
