All of the quotes that have been pulled from the piece of writing give us an image that Sandburg is using the skyscraper as a symbol of the unity and collective work of the people in Chicago. He personifies it and says that it has a soul because all of the peoples love for the city and devotion to helping better it, even going so far as to give the building ribs and a heart.

The author emphasises how the soul of the skyscraper is not the building, but it comes from the people that are around the building. The author also reveals the two sides of the building. One side is during the day, were the building is flowing with people and giving the skyscraper its soul. The other side of the skyscraper occurs at night, were it is empty and completely silent.

The soul of the building is made of the people. From the feelings of the office workers to the efforts of the construction workers building the building, they made up the soul. As mentioned in the text, it is the feelings of the people, acknowledging the building, that gives the skyscraper soul.

All of these quotes use metaphors and imagery to symbolize how the skyscraper has soul. These quotes depict what gives the skyscraper character because of greed, dreams, emptiness, and the longing to stand tall amongst the environment (smoke and stars). The skyscraper are given human traits that present that a skyscraper has a soul. The soul of the skyscraper being everything that goes on inside its walls, the people living out their lives, the workers, etc.

In the poem, Sandburg is trying to tell us that everyone in the city works and turns the building to life. Its the working bolts inside of the building that give it a soul. The wires, elevators, workers and the air outside all give it personality as well.

The soul of the building is characterized by the components in the building. It is the people living life and their mundane actions that makes life and that building special and present. In addition, features like the "darkness on the hallways" and the "Broom and water and mop" shows how ordinary objects and features can compliment the building. It brings the building life by adding components that feels like someone or something has been here. It shows how this building is used and loved.

1. "Hour by hour the sun and the rain, the air and the rust, and the press of time running into centuries, play on the building inside and out and use it."
2. "Souls of them all are here, even the hod carrier begging at back doors hundreds of miles away and the brick layer who went to state's prison for shooting another man while drunk."
3. "Spelled in electric fire on the roof are words telling miles of houses and people where to buy a thing for money. The sign speaks till midnight."
4. "It is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and out all day that give the building a soul of dreams and thoughts and memories."
5. "Darkness on the hallways. Voices echo. Silence holds. . . Watchmen walk slow from floor to floor and try the doors. Revolvers bulge from their hip pockets. . . Steel safes stand in corners. Moneya is stacked in them."

All these quotes reveal the soul of the skyscraper by showing that the people who come in and out of the building, is what makes the soul of it. The type of people and what they do shows character of the building. The soul is the spirits and souls the individuals have that are given off to the building. All walks of life are accepted by the building and the dreams of these people lie in the walls of the building.

Sandburg uses imagery that heightens the value of every single person who passes through the skyscraper. He crafts the imagery in the poem to reflect that every person who has been in the skyscraper have impacted it and held it together. Every single person has a story and the skyscraper hold those stories close and keeps them. This is powerful imagery that makes the reader feel like skyscrapers are very personal places where everything is out in the open and nothing is hidden. Hundreds of people are always there and the skyscraper towers with their secrets, stories, and lives.
