Daniel Sullivan was the first to notice

the flames coming from the OLeary
barn at around 8:30 pm on October
8. A problem with the alarm box
made it impossible for the people in
the area to call for the fire
department. By 9:30 pm, the entire
block was blazing. In another 3
hours, there were fires all over
Chicago. The heavy wind coming
from the lake only made the fire
bigger. It would be another day
before the fire would be completely
out. By that time, 17,500 buildings
had been burned.

Why was the Great Chicago Fire so

disastrous? After all, Chicago had
fire departments and fire alarms.
One reason for the terrible fire is
that the alarm malfunctioned. The
local fire company noticed the fire
by accident as they were returning
from another fire. As another
problem, a watchman who saw the
flames directed other fire companies
to a location that was nearly a mile
away from the fire. Because of these
two problems, a fire that could have
been controlled spread rapidly
across the city.

By Monday night, the town

of Chicago was burning.
People described it as
terrible, but amazing. The
flames were brighter than
anything people had ever
seen. The harsh winds
swept the fire across the
city with terrible speed.
For many who watched, it
was a sight to remember
for the rest of their lives.

After the fire, thousands of people

were left homeless. Many escaped
the fire with nothing except the
clothes on their backs. Providing all
of these people with food, clean
water, and shelter was a huge task.
Luckily, the city quickly formed a
Relief and Aid Society. This group
started giving out the food
donations that were pouring in from
other cities. The society built places
for people to live, gathered the tools
that people needed to rebuild their
houses, and even vaccinated 64,000
people against smallpox.

Chicago changed in many ways after the fire.

Before the fire, most of the buildings were less
than five stories high. The buildings that were
constructed after the fire, however, were some
of the first skyscrapers in the country. Before
the fire, most of the houses were made of
wood. After the fire, people chose to build their
houses out of stone or brick. There were
changes in where people lived, as well. The
poor people in the city lived close to the center
of the city before the fire. After the fire, they
moved into neighborhoods that were farther
away from the downtown area.

The Olympic symbol consists of five

interlocking rings. The rings
represent the five continents- Africa,
Asia, North America, Europe, and
South America- from which athletes
come to compete in the games. The
rings are colored black, blue, green,
red, and yellow. At least one of
those colors is found in the flag of
every country sending athletes to
compete in the Olympic games.

One problem with every modern Olympics is that is

has become very big and expensive to operate. The
city or country that hosts the games often loses a lot
of money. A stadium, pools, and playing fields must
be built for the athletic events and housing is needed
for the athletes who come from around the world.
And all of these facilities are only used for two
weeks! In 1984, Los Angles solved these problems by
charging a fee for companies who wanted to be
official sponsors of the games. Companies like
McDonalds paid a lot of money to be part of the
Olympics. Many buildings that were already being
built in Los Angeles were also being used. The
Coliseum where the 1932 games were held was used
again and many colleges and universities in the area
became playing and living areas.

The modern Olympics are very unlike the

ancient Olympic games. Individual events are
different. While there was no swimming in the
ancient games, for example, there were chariot
races. There were no female contestants and all
athletes competed in the nude. Of course, the
ancient and modern Olympics are also like in
many ways. Some events, such as the javelin
and the discus throws are the same. Some
people say that cheating, professionalism, and
nationalism in the modern games are a
disgrace to the Olympic tradition. But according
to the Greek writers there were many cases of
cheating, nationalism, and professionalism in
their Olympics, too.

There are several reasons why so many people

attend the Olympic games or watch them on
television. One reason is tradition. The name
Olympics and the torch and flame remind
people of the ancient games. People can
escape the ordinariness of daily life by
attending or watching the Olympics. They like
to identify with someone elses individual
sacrifice and accomplishment. National pride
is another reason, and an athletes or a teams
hard earned victory becomes a nations
victory. There are national medal counts and
people keep track of how many medals their
countrys athletes have won.

The Olympic games began as athletic festivals to honor the Greek

gods. The most important festival was held in the valley of Olympia to
honor Zeus, the king of the gods. It was the festival that became the
Olympic games in 776 B.C. These games were ended in 394 A.D. by the
Roman emperor in Greece. No Olympic games were held for more than
1,500 years. Then the modern Olympics began is 1896. Almost 300
male athletes competed in the first modern Olympics. In the games
held in 1900, female athletes were allowed to compete. The games
have continued every four years since 1896, except during World War
II and they will most likely continue for many years to come.

Every spring, shortly after the tulips bloom, farmers in Holland go

through the tulip fields and cut the blooms off the tulips. This seems
strange, because it leaves a field full of green stems. However, it makes
the colorful tulip blooms grow back even bigger and stronger later that
spring.
