How does the structure of The Great Fire reinforce the central idea that there were not enough firefighters to handle the rapidly spreading fire?

The text structure of "The Great Fire" story is "Cause-and-Effect structure".

The Cause-and-effect structure simply explains the ways the firefighters employed in putting out the fire and the impact and results of the actions of the firefighters.

Explanation:

Jim Murphy is the author of the "Great Fire" story. He is an American author who specializes in writing fiction and nonfiction for children, young adults and general audiences. He published "The Great Fire" story in 1995.

The story is told about the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The fire outbreak destroyed most of Chicago.

Looking at the story, the "text structure" adopted is the "cause-and-effect structure".

Text structure refers to a way an information is organized within a given text. The cause-and-effect structure gives an illustration about the relationship between a specific concept, event or idea and the event, idea or concept that follows it. The result of the latter is a consequence of the former. Such structure was adopted in "The Great Fire" which illustrates the various ways the firefighters tried to stop the outbreak and the leading result and impact of the actions taken.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
