The author sets a very nice pace‚ going over all the vital parts of the poem. It starts off addressing the title‚ he feels as though it is needlessly long. Therefore‚ Wright must have written it that way “not to inform‚ but to memorialize a place and a time” (Birkerts).

On the other hand‚ Willis’ essay “Disney World: Public Use/Private State” suggests that America’s most popular amusement park‚ Disney World‚ is not an escape.
