Maria’s comments from the Last but not Least group.

Chicago is said to be the "Black City." This color obviously contrasts with the "White City" of the fair. Define and explain an example of contrast in the book.

A common theme throughout The Devil in the White City is American patriotism. Provide examples through quotes to support this theme.

Identify and explain a rhetorical device used within the story and provide at least one example. Each group member should attempt to provide a different device, if this can not be done, provide different examples.

Similarly to In Cold Blood, Erik Larson, begins the book with a note, as Capote began with a dedication. He almost seems to tell the story in the most vague way before the story even starts. What is the purpose?

I can see all sides of this argument as stated however do you believe that there is any way that this pain may have anything to do with the way he dies or the way his murder is carried out? Or do you believe that it is limited to the fact that he is going to die in the near future?

In the prologue, Aboard the Olympic, why does the author continuously reference the pain in the foot of Daniel Hudson Burnham?
