Roger's rhetoric 
Dreiser wrote an indulgent rant in this piece (“Will Fascism Come to America?”). Every disconnected thought in his mind on labor and capitalism was released into this article.

Very true, Janet It’s apparent that there was no forethought by Dreiser (what am I going to say; and how … how will I organize and present my ideas?). Dreiser was a weak thinker and poor expositor. On my first visit to the Penn Dreiser archives, I was examining a folder that contained a draft of one of his essays. It looked like an eight grader’s paper written as a homework assignment.
