    Above is a picture of Chicago's skyline at night. This is a very beautiful picture and it captures the view of Chicago at night alongside the Michigan river. Chicago has many famous landmarks. The first one that usually comes to mind is the Sears Tower since it is the largest Skyscraper in the World! Chicago built it's first Skyscraper in 1885 [6] and the Sears Tower was built in 1973. In Carl Sandburg's poem entitled Skyscraper he places an emphasis on the working class by focusing on the city life and people of the masses. He celebrates the people and their accomplishments. Since the Sears Tower is the largest skyscraper in the World we can say that this is a symbol of Chicago's greatness and accomplishments.
