Throughout Thomas’s essay, she views the wildfires in Santa Ana as “an amazing sight” and “gorgeously beautiful.” “On this evening, neighbors have arrived, too, their dogs and children in tow. Some have brought soft drinks. Most have cameras...” (Thomas). Thomas describes her neighbors admiring the wildfires to show how others also glamorize something destructive. On the other hand, The Santa Ana has more serious and dramatic tone. Instead of viewing the wildfires as beauty, Didion shares her experience as “uneasy” and “makes people unhappy.” In Didion’s essay, she mentions how the Santa Ana wildfires are destructive and creates a depressing atmosphere to the area.

Oh how the flames have changed. No longer did the flames signify destruction, eating away at the pages that had once shaped society as we know it. No longer did the flamethrower clenched in a fireman’s fist burn the ideals that make us people. No longer did they dash the hopes, the dreams, of man.
