Write an analysis based on your close reading of the final section of joan didion’s essay “goodbye to all that.”

This exposition impractically catches the pith of New York City much superior to anything I will ever have the capacity to. As a Californian, I view New York as I envision a New Yorker in the Nineteenth Century would view California. The contemplation is practically outlandish. California is the boundlessness edged pool of a landmass. Its wide open meanders perpetually, forever of the open doors which it holds until the land drops into nothingness and the Pacific devours it.

New York then again, shouldn't exist. Many think of it as the zenith of human accomplishment, a mixture of humankind existing together with an enthusiastic feeling of a club, all living under the standard held high that drains, "New York." It is where ten million drums play to their own beat, yet all ring to a similar congruity.

Didion's involvement in the city echoes these tones. The city is undoubtedly a spot where a half year can transform into eight years, and a night out can transform into a marriage. Didion expressed, "It was an unendingly sentimental idea, the puzzling nexus of all affection and cash and power, the sparkling and short-lived dream itself."

This exposition goes about as Didion's adoration letter to the city, one that isn't composed starting with one captivated sweetheart then onto the next, yet rather as Socrates would keep in touch with Zeus in an incredible miracle of his god-like power. Didion sees New York as legendary Fate, culling and cutting the strings of life which would decide her way of presence. Didion drives home the thought that New York is a thought. It represents something. New York is synonymous with America.

Opportunity. Renewed opportunities. Acts of futility. It is the New Mesopotamia, the support of life held in its bin by the two streams which give it its separated liveliness. American contemporary articles endeavor to restore the sentimental nature which used to drive American writers like Whitman and Thoreau to compose, and she completes a magnificent activity of that. My inquiry is how does Didion's association with the city influence her life?

it creates a visual picture of the man.

it conveys what the scene sounds like.

it describes the actions of the boy.

it reveals the poet’s opinion of the characters.

it encourages readers to care for the characters.

i agree so i wont repert this question
