assignment 8


I picked today, October 8, for the day of my event. In 1871 a huge fire in Chicago occurred. Burning for two days, unable to be stopped by man, over four square miles of the city was destroyed. At least 200 people were killed in those days as well. This event influenced a city, removing much of its history and architecture. If I had to pick appreciate or loathe this event, I would have to pick loathe since it destroyed so much. But fires happen and a person can’t really hate it for doing what it does best, burn things.
