The Devil in the White City Rhetorical Analysis Essay The Chicago World’s Fair, one of America’s most compelling historical events, spurred an era of innovative discoveries and life-changing inventions. The fair brought forward a bright and hopeful future for America; however, there is just as much darkness as there is light and wonder. In the non-fiction novel, The Devil in the White City, architect Daniel Burnham and serial killer H. H. Holmes are the perfect representation of the light and dark displayed in Chicago.

Tennessee Williams' essay, “On A Streetcar Named Success”, he reflects on how his success brought life-altering consequences. He demonstrates his ill-regard towards his success through a critical tone while also maintaining a didactic tone, intended to teach one that sometimes, hardships are necessary for an individual to have meaning in his life.

Williams’ didactic tone is thoroughly supported by the context in which the essay was written as well as Williams’ life, prior to his success.

Turkle states that, “the mere presence of a phone on a table between them (two people) or in the periphery of their vision changes both what they talk about and the degree of connection they feel.” While this may be true, along with the other studies on how technology is detrimental to society, there as also positives aspects that contribute to society as well. “It is not about giving our phones but about using them with greater intention” (Turkle).
